I want to make a window only be minimized when any act of closing it is initiated (click the close button, Alt+F4). For AutoHotKey I think WinMinimize is needed, but I don't know how to detect a closing event. If you know a solution for PowerShell, please share too.

^{Related: Is it possible to catch the close button and minimize the window instead?}

#NoEnv

#SingleInstance Force



; Add the ahk_class of the windows you want  minimize by clicking on the close button in this array:

Classes := "Notepad,CabinetWClass,IEFrame" ; ...

Loop, parse, Classes, `,

    GroupAdd, GroupName, ahk_class %A_LoopField%



SetTimer CheckMouse, -300

return



CheckMouse:

    CoordMode, Mouse, Screen

    MouseGetPos, mX, mY, WindowUnderMouse

    WinGetPos, wX, wY, wW, wH, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

        CloseButton := (mY > wY and mY < wY+50 and (mX > wX + (wW-50) and mX < wX+wW))

    SetTimer CheckMouse, -300

return



#If (CloseButton)



    ~LButton::

        MouseGetPos,,, WindowUnderMouse

        WinGetClass, Class, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

        If Class in %Classes%

        {

            WinGet, id, ID, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

            DISABLE_CloseButton(id)

            WinMinimize, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

        }

    return





#If WinActive("ahk_group GroupName")



    !F4:: WinMinimize, A



#If ; turn off context sensitivity

This AHK script disables the close button in Notepad and minimizes Notepad by clicking on this button:
