Any screen any resolution n00bie question

[foolove]

I know there is a way to do this maybe it is pixelchecksuming the screen

I want to do a series of mouseclicks that will work on any screen/video card/ etc

if there isnt a sure fire way from my research pixelchecksum is the most accurate maybe?

I think the key here maybe would be to detect and map current screen resolution?

hoping someone can clear this up for me

Doubt somebody can clear up anything until you be much clearer in what you really want.

Be exact, be precise, be clear when you ask questions.

I am wanting this to do mouse clicks and have my script work on any screen resolution maybe detect the change of screen resolution and adjust accordingly.

Intentionally vague questions are vague. And usually they're vague for a reason the rules would frown on.

As for detecting screen resolution, have you looked at the selection of @macros in the help file?

[foolove]

cool man so it appears for a given script maybe i can do as such be kind im new

@DesktopHeight Height of the desktop screen in pixels. (vertical resolution) @DesktopWidth Width of the desktop screen in pixels. (horizontal resolution)

pass the parameters for those then how would i specify a mouse click and have it autoadjust so if i give my script to a friend it will work on their resolution

Math

Have a default resolution, then subtract or add depending on the new size

For simplicity sake

Say your default is 5 Width (@DesktopWidth = 5)

but your friends is 10

you would need an if/then (probably the easiest to start with)

If @DesktopWidth = 5 Then

$mouseX = 2.5 (1/2 of 5, center of screen)

ElseIf @DesktopWidth = 10 Then

$mouseX = 5

EndIf

But that would be a lot of If's

So you could do percentage of Desktop or find the difference between the "default" resolution and the user's resolution and adjust the click position based on the ratio

again, Math

This will find the resolution

[Blue_Drache]

$default_resolutionX = 800
$default_resolutionY = 600
$x_ratio = $default_resolutionX / @desktopwidth
$y_ratio = $default_resolutionY / @desktopheight
MouseMove(Round(400 * $x_ratio) , Round(300 * $y_ratio),15)

No If statments required. If the monitor's in 800x600 ... it equals out to "1"

May get into some rounding issues if single pixel precision is required though.

Edit: Fixed a parentheses issue
