It will not work perfectly.
so.. update:require 'sketchup' require "Win32API" rb_console_title = $suStrings.GetString("Ruby Console") winapi_FindWindow = Win32API.new("user32.dll", "FindWindow", ['P','P'], 'N') winapi_SendMessage = Win32API.new("user32.dll", "SendMessage", ['N','N','N','P'], 'N') winapi_GetWindowThreadProcessId = Win32API.new("user32.dll", "GetWindowThreadProcessId", ['N', 'P'], 'N') winapi_GetActiveWindow= Win32API.new("user32.dll", "GetActiveWindow", [], 'N') rb_console_window = winapi_FindWindow.call(0, rb_console_title) active_window = winapi_GetActiveWindow.call() active_pid = winapi_GetWindowThreadProcessId.call(active_window,0) rb_console_pid = winapi_GetWindowThreadProcessId.call(rb_console_window,0) winapi_SendMessage.call(rb_console_window,0x0010,0,"") if active_pid == rb_console_pid -
On Windows PC:
you can do it with WinAPI. The script is from https://sites.google.com/site/jimfoltz/my-sketchup-plugins/ruby-toolbar.check the better version two floors down
require 'sketchup' require "Win32API" rb_console_title = $suStrings.GetString("Ruby Console") winapi_findwindow = Win32API.new("user32.dll", "FindWindow", ['P','P'], 'N') winapi_sendmessage = Win32API.new("user32.dll", "SendMessage", ['N','N','N','P'], 'N') rb_console_window = winapi_findwindow.call(0, rb_console_title ) #send the control a "WM_CLOSE" message (0x0010) winapi_sendmessage.call(rb_console_window,0x0010,0,"") -
hey, very good idea to go with win.api
i use this trick in my excel basic sound database to controll external programs from the code.

I remembered I'd been messing around with this myself a while back. For reference:

Redirect bug corrected. If the error message is cached, a browser cache-erase might be necessary.
