The ON CLOSE event triggers within mIRC when a specific window type is closed, either locally, through server interaction, or due to a scripted circumstance. This event can be used to trigger scripted situations for actions to perform when a certain window is closed.

The ON CLOSE event triggers the $target identifier to be filled with the window related to the event. This identifier can now be used to reference the specific window during these events.
