PixelGetColor() ?


Recommended Posts

Correct me if i'm wrong.

If the cursor is over the pixel that is being pinged for PixelGetColor() it will get the color of the pixel UNDER the cursor.

Is there any way that i can get the color of the pixel, even if the cursor is in the way? In other words, if the cursor is in the way, and i PixelGetColor on top of it, it will return the color of the pixel of the cursor?

Not if your using Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0) for active window then your PixelGetColor(x, y) coords.

So example:

Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0)
WinActivate("Window your trying to get color")
$PixelColor = PixelGetColor("x", "y"); don't use "" marks w/ coords
MsgBox(0, "Your Pixel Color Is", $PixelColor)

Hope this helps.

PixelGetColor gets the color of a pixel within a DC (device context?). The mouse pointer is not part of any device context... I believe, so it is ignored.

This should work:

$coord = MouseGetPos()
$pixel = PixelGetColor($coord[0], $coord[1])
MsgBox(0, "Mouse Pixel Color is:  ", $pixel)

As Larry said that will only get the color of the pixel under the mouse. Not of the mouse itself.

I am not sure if there is a way to get the color of the mouse at all. You could always check to see what cursor is being used atm with GUI functions.

Maybe if you could tell us why you need this we could come up with another solution for you.

I dont know that there is another way around this to detect some other process other than the changing of the cursor, because I do not believe this is possible at all.

Thanks,
