PixelSearch function in _IE

[tiosha]

Is there any fuction to make a PixelSearch with a _IE function?

[somdcomputerguy]

There is a PixelSearch() function. I might be missing something here. Could you better explain your needs?

[tiosha]

I know that there is a PixelSearch function

but i want to make a PixelSearch without having to be in the page

[tiosha]

Edit

Is there any comand to make the IE page "Always on top"???

[somdcomputerguy]

AFAIK, PixelSearch needs a visible image to do its thing. There might be a workaround or something though. For "Always on top", see if the WinSetOnTop() function works out for you.

Hi, Tiosha. Maybe if you clarify what you are trying to do inside the IE page, or post what you have thus far, we can better assist you. As somdcomputerguy suggested, you could try using the WinSetOnTop() function to keep your IE page in the foreground, but it would be easier if you could step us through what you're trying to accomplish.

As Far As I Know, No.

#include <IE.au3>
#Include <Misc.au3>
Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
$i=0
_Singleton("myscript")
MsgBox(0, "Starting", "Starting, to exit press ESC at any time. Press OK to continue.")
$oIE = _IECreate ("http://mywebsite")
Do
PixelSearch( 0, 0, 1000, 1000,0xA91A1C )
  If Not @error then
  $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
  $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "mytextbox")
  $oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "submit")
  _IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "mytext")
  _IEAction($oSubmit, "click")
Sleep(5000)
  Endif

  If @error then
  $oForm = _IEFormGetCollection ($oIE, 0)
  $oQuery = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "mytextbox")
  $oSubmit = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "submit")
  _IEFormElementSetValue ($oQuery, "mytext")
  _IEAction($oSubmit, "click")
Sleep(5000)
  Endif

$i=$i
Until $i=10
Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

What do I need:

• Is there any way of removing the sleep(5000) fuction? (if it is not there the _IEAction will keep clicking very fast the button and flooding the page)
• How to make the IE page "always on top"
• Replace the PixelSearch( 0, 0, 1000, 1000,0xA91A1C ) function with a funcion that "pixelsearches" the IE Window while it is minimized

Its all for now

Any help?

How what? You cannot scan pixels of none shown windows.

keep clicking very fast the button and flooding the page

Dare I ask why you're wanting to flood a webpage with submissions?

You've already been told what to try for the On Top question, you can't pixelsearch a window if it's not visible, you'll need another function to accomplish whatever it is that you're looking for, and without any information what that might be I have no idea how to accomplish it. I'd suggest looking at the help file for the _IE functions to see if there's a button or whatever you're looking for to click.

I'd start with reading the help file on whatever it is you're trying to do, write some code that you haven't already posted several times in other threads, stick to one thread, and try and figure out something for yourself.

I DONT want to flood the page

Sorry, I reread your post, and realized the mistake. My apologies

Have you tried to hook into the control that is in the webpage?
