Capture mouse selection


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to capture mouse selection, but I have few problems:

1. how can I draw a rectangle on mouse movement (in the script I did it from drawing lines) and change the transparency of the selected area?

2. if I press primary mouse button and drag down-right, then release it, the image is saved BUT if i drag in other direction, I get no selection. I think the problem is from line 63...

The script so far:

#NoTrayIcon
#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters= -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 6
#Tidy_Parameters=/tc 0 /rel /sfc
#Include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

I'm trying to do some kind of snipping tool for tesseract.

Had that idea... *check, check*... in may 2009 :P... tried to do that with Seangriffins Tesseract (Screen OCR) UDF but wasn't quite that good at that time so I put it on the "projects for the future" pile ;)... I would love to see a working implementation :blink:...
