How to minimize a window by closing it?

I want to make a window only be minimized when any act of closing it is initiated (click the close button, Alt+F4). For AutoHotKey I think WinMinimize is needed, but I don't know how to detect a closing event. If you know a solution for PowerShell, please share too.

^{Related: Is it possible to catch the close button and minimize the window instead?}

I can accept PowerShell solution too. Is that acceptable?

This AHK script disables the close button in Notepad and minimizes Notepad by clicking on this button:

#NoEnv

#SingleInstance Force



SetTimer CheckMouse, -300

return



CheckMouse:

    CoordMode, Mouse, Screen

    WinGet, id, ID, ahk_class Notepad

        DISABLE_CloseButton(id)

    MouseGetPos, mX, mY, WindowUnderMouse

    WinGetPos, wX, wY, wW, wH, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

        CloseButton := (mY > wY and mY < wY+50 and (mX > wX + (wW-50) and mX < wX+wW))

    SetTimer CheckMouse, -300

return



#If (CloseButton)



    ~LButton Up::

        MouseGetPos,,, WindowUnderMouse

        WinGetClass, Class, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

        If (Class="Notepad")

            WinMinimize, ahk_id %WindowUnderMouse%

    return



#If WinActive("ahk_class Notepad")



    !F4:: WinMinimize, A

Perfect, thanks. What if I have a set of programs? Can we declare them at the top of the script?

but they can just simply add one app in the Classes?
