Close single browser window

Description

In the example presented, Internet Explorer browser program (executable name) is hard-coded (as “iexplore”).
Instance number (i.e. a sequential number of the process in memory, if a few were loaded), is parameterized.
In first attempt, .Close method is used, which allows an application to finalize.
Second attempt uses .Terminate method. Any unsaved data will be lost.

Implementation

Public Const syncTimeShort = 5

Public Function wbCloseBrowser(ByVal intInstance)
  Dim IEProcess
  Dim PropNames, PropValues

  PropNames = Array("processname", "index")
  PropValues = Array("iexplore", IntVal(intInstance))

  Set IEProcess = Sys.FindChild(PropNames, PropValues, 1, True)

  If Not IEProcess.Exists then
    Exit Function
  End if 
 
  IEProcess.Close(syncTimeShort*1000)

  If Not IEProcess.Exists then
    Exit Function
  End if 

  IEProcess.Terminate
End Function
