My program and windows 8

[Carter]

Hey Autoit community! been using this program for some time now, and i've stumbled across a problem.. and just wondering if someone is able to help me out with that,

Alright so i coded my program to detect a specific color then send a command, this program worked for all OS, but windows 8, I've tried every color just to see if i can get my program running on w8 os. was unable to.

Am i able to modify my script to make such program work with w8 or is there something i could download for Autoit overall?.

Thanks for reading and hope you can help .

You wrote some but never really told us anything.

What is your autoit problem?

program i created isn't responding with windows 8

WHILE TRUE
$COLOR=PIXELGETCOLOR(@DESKTOPWIDTH/2,@DESKTOPHEIGHT/2)
IF $COLOR=16711680 OR $COLOR=16646144 OR $COLOR=255 OR $COLOR=990033 OR $COLOR=961635 OR $COLOR=2037680 OR $COLOR=238 OR $COLOR=205 OR $COLOR=2500301 OR $COLOR=2895086 OR $COLOR=3158271 OR $COLOR=3881966 OR $COLOR=4210943 OR $COLOR=6513646 OR $COLOR=6974207 THEN
SEND("{LCTRL}")
ENDIF
WEND

works on all oc's, but windows 8

I imagine the colours might be rendered differently, after all the return value from PIXELGETCOLOR is none of those you are testing against is it.

You should probably check what the PixelGetColor returns for a value when you run it, then go from there. Because right now, all you know is that the color isn't one that you're checking for, but you don't show what it IS returning.

Well, this works on win7/everything else i dont' think its my program, i think when i compile my script there is a problem for windows 8 again im not to sure.

Probably a wrong paramater in func detect_a_specific_color()

Either it's your program or it's Windows 8, without checking the return value, you will never know. Also, are you trying to read a color while the Windows 8 start screen is up, or when the Desktop is visible, or are you trying to read the color from a specific program in the middle of the screen?
