Is there a way of detecting when a player closes a window, yet? Has this been suggested?

Yes. Check the window's is-visible variable. When it's "false", the window has closed.
|
Not quite, winget() doesn't return boolean, it returns a string, you'd have to check it against "true" or "false" (strings, not boolean).
| |
You could mimic the "[X]" button at the top of the screen (just using printscreen and making an image using it would work fine). Tie the button to a verb and then that verb would indicate when the window was closed. This is assuming you meant a way of signallying when the window closes, not if it has been closed.
| |
Unfortunately, you then have to mimic all three buttons, which is much harder to do. I tried it, using winget() in a loop is much easier.
| |
Or you could put a non-visible browser on the window and use javascript to call Topic() when it gets closed.

I should've capitalized WHEN and made mention that I specifically wanted to detect a window close event rather than if a window is closed. Thanks Nadrew, that sounds like a decent idea there. Although, it would be nice if this were built in, so, I'm going to take this to feature requests.
