Hi,

When closing metro apps in Win8 with the command acCloseApplication(nil, gsx, gsy), the metro app seems to not close completely. What I mean is that after executing this command, if you move your mouse to the upper left corner of the screen, the app you just closed is still there. But if I do Alt-F4 instead, then there is nothing when I move my mouse there nor when I do Win-Tab.

Thanks

acCloseApplication() was originally designed to work with normal windows. Metro apps behave differently to the WM_CLOSE message. You could write some Lua script to determine if the window is Metro [using acIsImmersiveProcess()] and handle the close functionality as needed.
