Yes, I find them pretty confusing D:

Hello forum. I was messing around with Auto It today, I just saw the example script of dll open, I tried to understand it but I can't, All those parameters and stuff, It would be nice if anyone can help me understand that.

Oh, okay, thanks for your time. I found something known as ImageSearch in the Internet. #include-once ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ; ; AutoIt Version: 3.0 ; Language: English ; Description: Functions that assist with Image Search ; Require that the ImageSearchDLL.dll be loadable ; ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ;=============================================================================== ; ; Description: Find the position of an image on the desktop ; Syntax: _ImageSearchArea, _ImageSearch ; Parameter(s): ; $findImage - the image to locate on the desktop ; $tolerance - 0 for no tolerance (0-255).

If you can explain this to me, I would be really thankful

Hello! I was just checking around the help file trying to find an imagesearch type of command, but i didun' find it, Does auto IT have such a command?

Well, thanks a lot The tutorial seems pretty filled with examples, Thanks yet again. This solved my problem of the day xD

Well, I've returned to AutoIt after trying out numerous other languages, I'm pretty much happier with this language then the rest >_> I was just wondering two things : #1. Is there any tutorial which is like Auto It for beginners, amateurs and experts? #2. How do i use PixelSearch to find a range of red, which would be around light red till dark red?

What's the website's name? You can try to navigate to this using run command o-o Run(<Whatever your thing's name is>)

Thank you, I found my answer, next time, i'll consult the help file first before coming here. xD

Well, i've heard that C#, C++ and other languages have a known function like Pixel Locator. Does Auto It have one as well?

Thank you very much! You guys are the best! :3 Now, i can post when i want without waiting till the morning but for now, All my problems are solved due to JLogan3o13's answer! But still thank you very much

(2nd last post ) I can define my function anywhere? Right? Even at the end of the script, right? o-o

Thank you guys very much! It might be a bother but you guys would be getting way more questions from me >_> But i am very thankful to you guys! And the helpful community

(I can make only 4 more posts) Erm, sorry for troubling you what i meant to say is that the i want a hotkeyset as an alternative for the button i press so that i keep hitting the hotkey instead of going back to the form1 and click the button. Like isn't there a way to give the button a hotkey so that whenever i press a certain key, say, "F5", it completes a certain function which i had written in the button.

As i said, "I'm new your help would be greatly appreciated Well, This is a program i am making for paint. I want it to click around 7 times whenever i press a special key. Plus, I want a hotkey set to $Button1. So that i don't have to press start everytime. Well, here is the code : #include <ButtonConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 251, 245, 927, 209) $Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 24, 16, 75, 25) $Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Instructions", 24, 64, 75, 25) $Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Quit", 24, 104, 75, 25) $Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Made by GeekyBunny", 128, 96, 84, 81) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $Button1 If $Button1 <> 0 then MouseClick("Left") MouseWheel("Down") MouseClick("Left") MouseWheel("Down") MouseClick("Left") MouseWheel("Down") EndIf Case $Button2 MsgBox(0,"Instructions","Try") Case $Button3 Exit EndSwitch WEnd

Oh, sorry, I will try to be more descriptive next time But thank you for your help!
