    Hi ,

    We are using HTA file in one of our legacy application.we are saving the file to exe and performing all operations as browser.

    Here I am using below code to close the HTA file on click of button in code behind file,

    Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "myCloseScript", "window.close()", true);

    But this is not closing the application and just showing a blank screen which is understandable as it is running as an exe.

    Is there any way to close HTA file programatically ?

    Thanks,

    Raghu.

    Hi RaghuMasineni,

    Accroding to your description,as far as I think,you could use window.open('close.html', '_self', null);

    More details,you could refer to below codes:

    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title></title>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var redirectTimerId = 0;
        function closeWindow() {
            window.opener = top;
            redirectTimerId = window.setTimeout('redirect()', 2000);
            window.close();
        }

        function stopRedirect() {
            window.clearTimeout(redirectTimerId);
        }

        function redirect() {
            window.location = 'WebForm37.aspx';
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body onload="closeWindow()" onunload="stopRedirect()" style="">
    <center><h1>Please Wait...</h1></center>
</body>
        protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), "closePage", "window.open('close.html', '_self', null);", true);
        }

    Best regards,
