Custom button to close browser

[kennethlou]

Hi,

Do you know how to close the browser via a custom made button? i.e. at the line 33 in main:

line 33 AppBuilder.Create().UseConfig(config).UseApp().Build().Run(args); line 34 int test = 1;

the browser is created in front of the user. Is there any way to have a button with a small piece of code to close it then line 34 will be run?

I am not looking for Application Exit as it will kill the whole process. I just want to close the browser.

Regards,

@kennethlou I am not sure there is an easy way the way we are setup, but if you can get your hands dirty there might be a way. Others can help too.

The first thing I would do is to identify the browser process and shut it down (in a timer, perhaps) to see what happens. You can identify the browser process by using -

https://github.com/chromelyapps/demo-projects/blob/860dfced1d22ca4004f3be593b3b7cc7f5395c54/web-chromely/web-chromely-mvc/Program.cs#L30

 var proctype = ClientAppUtils.GetProcessType(args);
 if (proctype == ProcessType.Browser) 
 {
      Process currentProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
 }

You can put the code before "line 33".
