embed the #close in an #execwin command.

like #window clanmember {<send href="#execwin clanmember {#close}">Close Window</send>} or am i doing it wrong? i have never tried to make a link to close a window i just normally click the X but this makes it more pleasing

yep, like that. Perhaps some ~ action and perhaps the "" might not jive so well, just to calm things down. You should be able to ditch the href= part since that's only formally necessary with a simple tag like yours.

#WIN windowname close

Might also be an old bug in the 2.37 version. I just tried the original poster's SEND tag in the 3.12 Beta and it worked fine:

#WINDOW test
#MXP <send href="#close test">close window</send>

Clicking the link properly closed the "test" window.

i know that way works fine zugg, but im trying to do it from inside the window it-self which it does not like

Out of curiosity... whats wrong with the little X in the corner? its a built in feature of every window to close it....

The #CLOSE command doesn't allow you to close the window that is issuing the command. There are too many issues dealing with the fact that the script is running in a separate thread and closing the window attached to the thread can cause problems.

would making it send

:%item(%names,1): #CLOSE windowname

work? then it would be telling the main window to close it

Not really. That *might* cause the window to close, but you might also get a crash when CMUD finishes the #CLOSE command and tries to return to the thread attached to the window that you just closed. You'll just have to try it and see what happens.

Just had another thought...

#MENU {File|Close window}

i see what you mean about the thread issue... to bad you cant return before the close goes off... an alarm of sorts

:%item(%names,1): #ALA "windowcloser" +0.001 {#CLOSE windowname}

Just tested and this code runs flawlessly.
