Hi forum i am writing a selector tool to use with another program that i´m making to get the pixel raw data of a selected area on the screen... i have problems with the the selector tool

i use a GUI with pop up style to do the selection area efect.. and use winmove to resize when i click and drag the mouse.. my problem start when i try to drag from the right to the left or from the bottom to the top, otherwise works fine...

here is the code

#include <misc.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
HotKeySet("{esc}", "_exit")
$DLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
Global $pos
While 1
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    If _IsPressed(01, $DLL) Then _drawbox()
    Sleep(100)

WEnd

Func _exit()
    DllClose($DLL)
    ConsoleWrite("se cerro la dll" & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>_exit

Func _drawbox()
    Local $hGui = GUICreate("selectionbox", 0, 0, $pos[0], $pos[1], $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
    GUISetBkColor(0x00ff00, $hGui)
    WinSetTrans($hGui, "", 50)
    GUISetState()

    While _IsPressed(01, $DLL)
        $pos2 = MouseGetPos()
        Select
            Case $pos2[0] < 0
                WinMove($hGui, "", $pos2[0], $pos[1], $pos[0]-$pos2[0], $pos2[1], 100)
            Case $pos2[1] < 0
                WinMove($hGui, "", $pos[0], $pos2[1], $pos2[0], $pos[1]-$pos2[1], 100)
            Case $pos2[0] < 0 And $pos2[1] < 0
                WinMove($hGui, "", $pos2[0], $pos2[1], $pos[0]-$pos2[0], $pos[1]-$pos2[1], 100)
            Case Else
                Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
                WinMove($hGui, "", $pos[0], $pos[1], $pos2[0], $pos2[1], 100)
        EndSelect
    WEnd
    ConsoleWrite("x inicial = " & $pos[0] & " X final = " & $pos2[0] & @CRLF & "y inicial = " & $pos[1] & " y final = " & $pos2[0] & @CRLF)
    Opt("MouseCoordMode", 1) ; set the mousecoord like before
EndFunc   ;==>_drawbox

Maybe someine can help me and tell me also if there´s other way to do the selectionbox efect

monoscout999,

I posted a script which uses a "light window" to select an area here - I hope it might be of use. :huh2:

I have a similar version somewhere with an expanding rectangle if you would prefer that. ;)
