Pixelsearch ?

[Justforfun]

Hello,

I read somewhere that you can use pixelsearch to search you screen in different directions like have pixelsearch start in the lower right corner and search up and down or right to left and so on istead of always starting in the upper left and searching left to right in a downward motion. Is this true if so how would you put it in code. I have been playing with paint.exe and I have automated it to draw a really cool picture as I cant draw a straight line to save my life and it does good but if I could change the direction that pixelsearch searches I could speed it up 2 to 3 x faster then what it does now. For example when I go to change color if I could start search in the upper right and search right to left in a downward motion I it could find and select the new color alot faster since the color tool bar is in the upper right on the paint window. Thanks in advance for any help.

Look at the comments under PixelSearch() in the help file. The search directions depend on what order you list the coordinates in:

Remarks

The search direction varies as follows:

Left-to-Right - left < right

Right-to-Left - right < left

Top-to-Bottom - top < bottom

Bottom-to-Top - bottom < top

So the following will search left-to-right/top-to-bottom:

PixelSearch(100, 125, 400, 525, 0x00FF00)

While the following searches right-to-left/bottom-to-top:

PixelSearch(400, 525, 100, 125, 0x00FF00)
