Image Search UDF v1.19.05.2025 1.19.05.2025

Works nicely. Never got it to work in vmware for some reason. Wrote my script on my own machine which worked fine. As soon as I try it on vmware workstation 15, I just get "! Dll not found or Call Dll error !".

I've verified the location of the dll. Also tried compiling as a x86 exe to try that dll. Strange. Guess it checks video memory or something which differs from a physical computer.

Adding a consolewrite on @error after the dllcall just gives me code 1, which according to dllcall help is

1 = unable to use the DLL file,

- The problem has been corrected!

 

! Dll not found or Call Dll error !

How do I fix this?

reDownload new version!

Same issue with error but only on a fresh Win10 machine.

! Dll not found or Call Dll error !

The script works just fine on an existing Win10 computer but if you run this on a fresh installed Win10 machine 32 or 64bit this is the error you get.  Same script, same files, same locations.  There is clearly some kind of pre-requisite to use the DLL Call.  If there is any debug method I can provide this information.

Same issue with vulcan4d

Tried these things below

• Make sure you use my UDF and dll. => Using version updated January 31, 2020
• Have you tried disabling your antivirus before running? => Yes
• Did you test the example script? => Testing "_ImageSearch_Sample.au3"
• Have you set Screen Scale and layout = 100%? => Yes, scale 100% at 1920*1080
• Have you installed the display driver? => Yes, using latest driver for rx570

 

Image capture and save successfully then failed at function  DllCall(), result return = 0

Below is console log

>"D:\auto\AutoIt3\SciTE\..\autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "D:\auto\AutoIT_ImageSearch\_ImageSearch_Sample.au3"

Edit: VIP helped me figure out that VC++ is required for using ImageSearch.dll

make sure you have it or install with link below

The dll is already integrated in the UDF, you don't need to copy the dll!

Hello, I have position (X,Y) already, I dont want to use mouse click to take ScreenCapture. How to do that ? 

 Could you give me some Example ?

Script yourself to take pictures at that coordinate with your dimensions and store them for use with Image Search UDF

I'm testing this now in mid 2023 on Windows 11, and the script partially works. It appears as though it's finding the correct image location on screen, but what's actually happening is that the image that's being saved is offset, usually by ~100px in the y direction, and then it finds that location and re-applies the offset, so the cursor goes to the correct location but the image it's searching for is really the wrong image. This causes some other issues as you might imagine, when attempting to build programs, so I'm wondering if I'm missing some obvious fix or if anyone else has encountered this behaviour? Still, pretty amazing code, but I'd love to figure out this offset issue. Thanks!
