Windows Scrolling or PixelFind

[Asakor]

Short and sweet. Basically is there a way to window scroll your window X amount of pixels up or down?

Without: Spacebar, Down/Up arrows.

Looking for a cmd line to move a window by how many pixels

Asakor,

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Look at _GUIScrollBars_ScrollWindow in the Help file.

Thanks for the warm welcome, and fast response.

I am very new to coding, only getting by on what I have taught myself.

From what I undertand, is that the WindowsScrolling on AutoIt doesnot go by pixels only by objects

What I am trying to do is move a webpage up (scroll) an exact amount up, then continue my coding.

In the Help Tool, I am getting lost in advance coding I dont really understand. Anyway where you can break it down for me?

Thanks again for the fast response and continued efforts

True, but as far as I know it is a Windows limitation that only allows you to scroll GUIs in character height/width units - AutoIt uses the Windows API and so can do no more than Windows allows.

Perhaps if you showed the code you have so far then we might be able to offer more relevant help. For example, if you are trying to automate controls on a webpage then there are other ways to do it than scrolling an exact number of pixels.

What I am doing is opening a thumbnail (yellow Circle) to a image that I am saving. Closing the tab, and going to the next thumbnail to the right. Once I complete the line of links (images) I want to move the webpage up and then restart the progress. Did a lot of photoshop to find out that the center of the first thumbnail to the center of the next (below) is 74px.

Asakor,

Alas, we have libraries to automate IE and FireFox, but not Chrome.

I can only suggest that you click on the "down" arrow and see how many pixels that moves you. Once you know how far you move, a bit of maths should enable you to hit the next row down fair and square.

Sorry I cannot be of more help - I will try harder next time.

Down arrow 40px, the page would run out of px before it would reach a point where I would have to reset the px offset itself. I have Firefox, if I were to change a few line of command would I be golden for the libraries?

[Melba23]

Asakor,

I do not use FireFox myself. You could search for the FF.au3 library and see what it offers as functions or start a new thread to attract FireFox users. I would suggest a title like "Selecting images in FireFox webpage" - that should draw the knowledgeable forum members.
