Schoening

It works! Sir you are a gentlemen and a scholar! Thanks to both of you. It all works perfectly now

Thanks Malkey It works. But sadly it relies on putting the window in the front. I was hoping to take a screenshot in the background. Similar to streaming video. I guess I look into Python and other options

Thanks for the help I am on Windows 8.1 But your example did get me slightly further. The screenshot now takes an image of whatever is at the position of the notepad window. So basically like a _ScreenCapture_Capture with set position.

I am trying to take a screenshot of a window that is not in the foreground. I read the help file and I searched the forum. But somehow I just can't get it to work... I tried multiple versions. Noone work. They simply capture my current screen OR capture a small black rectangle. #include <ScreenCapture.au3> Main() Func Main() Local $handle $handle = WinGetHandle("Untitled - Notepad"); ; Capture window _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd(@MyDocumentsDir & "\test.jpg", $handle); ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\test.jpg") EndFunc #include <ScreenCapture.au3> Main() Func Main() Local $handle $handle = 0x00AC05BA ; Capture window _ScreenCapture_CaptureWnd(@MyDocumentsDir & "\test.jpg", $handle); ShellExecute(@MyDocumentsDir & "\test.jpg") EndFunc Any Ideas why this is not working? I am trying to build a browser based streaming service. So it would be great if I could capture windows that are not in the front.

Thx you 2 ^^ I have another little question.. Do you know fastfind.dll ? For some reason i keep crashing it when it searches to often..

I want to do several Pixelsearches on my Screen to find out if i can find the Chrome Browser ^^ Instead of one big search on the screen i run $pixesearch1,$pixesearch2,$pixesearch3 etc. on a sliced up Screen. I have done something similar before.. But i wanted to ask if i should use Switch or Select? Do they only run ONE of their cases? or run as many cases that are True?

ty

yes ! hm slashes eh ? ^^ Thx

This question is for WinGetClientSize and multiple screen sizes. When using WinGetClientSize in a Function, how to i then go on and set pixel search areas for example? Let's say i want to find the middle of a window; is there a %percentage syntax like in HTML ? Same problem goes for PixelCoordMode i think. It appears that i have to know every screen size usable beforehand.

Oh indeed Well by now I found this topic so it can't be all illegal

Wow.. It's been a long time since I last used AutoIT ^^ I am currently making games with Construct2 and learning to set up multiplayer games. Since I kinda find AutoIT similar to C2 (Easy use and single threaded(I think C2 is single threaded...)) I wondered if a login or database check for "is online" is possible for autoit? And if it is reasonable to make it with a single threaded application. And if this is one of the things that are taboo to talk about!

Cool ^^ ill try that 2. Bit busy because i have to create a freaking game from scratch in one week ^^ Ill let you know when i have tried this

thx ill try it

Yeah but how can i track the mouses location? i gotta give the script some input to set the arrays to mouse.X and mouse.Y

Yeah i know MouseClick I have no problem once i got the Arrays Defined. But i want to define a array on Mouseclick to be X,Y of the Mouseclicks location.
