How to select a portion of the screen and take the coordinates


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi all I am working on a program with pixels and I have to select a portion of the screen to work ... to prevent the user to search the coordinates of each corner of the rectangle on which to work the program I thought maybe you could make sure to select that part of the screen by dragging the mouse and enclose it in a variable ...
The problem is ... how do ... I looked everywhere, I have read the entire manual (by pressing F1) of autoit and I have really no idea ...
Help me please !!

Try pixelsearch -> https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/PixelSearch.htm

If youre asking how do you determine how to get the pixel coordinates then you can use this:  (see next post)

Just fixed a couple of things in the script to work better with the offset. Use this one instead. It's better.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <ControlGetHandleByPos.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)
Global $xoffset = 10;X axis distance from mouse pointer to blue label
Global $yoffset = 23;Y axis distance from mouse pointer to blue label
Global $wposx, $wposy, $dt, $cwin, $xcalcl, $xcalcr, $ycalc, $cpos, $pos, $tpos, $hexv, $pcolor
Global $title = "Your Title Here"
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
$pgui = GUICreate($title, 250, 13, -1, -1, $ws_popup);Rear place holder for back of the blue label box (Title, Length of the blue lable box, Height of the blue label box,,)
$startlab = GUICtrlCreateLabel(" X: 0000, Y: 0000", 0, 0, 250, 13)
GUICtrlSetBkColor($startlab, 13434879);blue label box color
WinSetOnTop($pgui, "", 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    _nmgp()
WEnd

Func _nmgp()
    Local $_cpos = MouseGetPos();get current position of the mouse on desktop
    Sleep(10)
    $pcolor = PixelGetColor($_cpos[0], $_cpos[1]);help
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    GUICtrlSetData($startlab, " X: " & $pos[0] & ", Y: " & $pos[1] & " HEX: " & Hex($pcolor, 6) & " DEC: " & $pcolor)

;************************************ Moves the blue label with the mouse *****************************
    If $dt = 1 Then
        $xcalcr = 0.95 * @DesktopWidth
        $xcalcl = 0.05 * @DesktopWidth
        $ycalc = 0.9 * @DesktopHeight
        If $pos[1] > $ycalc Then
            $wposy = $pos[1] - $yoffset * 2
        Else
            $wposy = $pos[1] + $yoffset
        EndIf
        If $pos[0] > $xcalcr Then
            $wposx = $pos[0] - $xoffset * 3
        ElseIf $pos[0] < $xcalcl Then
            $wposx = $pos[0] + 10
        Else
            $wposx = $pos[0] - $xoffset
        EndIf
    Else
        _clientmouse()
    EndIf
    WinMove($title, "", $wposx, $wposy)
;************************************ End Moves the blue label with the mouse ***************************

EndFunc

Func _clientmouse()
    Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1)
    $tpos = MouseGetPos()
    $cpos = WinGetPos($cwin)
    $xcalcr = 0.95 * $cpos[2]
    $xcalcl = 0.95 * $cpos[2]
    $ycalc = 5.0 * $cpos[3];Y axis for offsetting the text box when you reach the top of the screen (so you can stil see the coordinates)
    If $tpos[1] > $ycalc Then
        $wposy = $tpos[1] - $yoffset * 2; Y Axis to determine the distance from the mouse pointer and the blue text box
    Else
        $wposy = $tpos[1] + $yoffset
    EndIf
    If $tpos[0] > $xcalcr Then
        $wposx = $tpos[0] - $xoffset - $xcalcr ; X Axis to determine the distance from the mouse pointer and the blue text box
    ElseIf $tpos[0] < $xcalcl Then
        $wposx = $tpos[0] + 10
    Else
        $wposx = $tpos[0] - $xoffset
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

You could also look at MouseCoordMode in the Help file.

BlockInput may also be of use to you, but you really need to be careful using that command.

Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!
