Solved Close any C4D Window

Hi !
Is it possibly to close any Cinema4D window like the ones below by using python ?

I've tried acessing this command, but I had no success, because I didn't find anything on the python API to get C4D windows...

Thanks!

That's because there is none. The Windows functionality in the API is very limited. You can open some through CallCommand but identification and handling of specific windows is not supported.

Only thing you could do is loading a new layout.

can't test it right now, but this should do the trick.

you'll need to install these packages to your c4d installation to make it work

import win32gui
import win32ui
import win32co
from pynput.keyboard import Key, Controller
handle = win32gui.FindWindow(0, "Texture Manager")
    try:
        if handle:
            
            keyboard = Controller()    
            win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(handle)
            keyboard.press(Key.ctrl)
            keyboard.press(w)

            keyboard.release(Key.ctrl)   
            keyboard.press(w)
    except:
        pass

hello,

thanks a lot for posting your solution here.
