ControlClick with PixelSearch

[szucsaaron 0]

Hey!
I would like to write a script which clicks to a bookmark of mine while it's on the tray. 

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{F2}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{F3}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{F1}", "Start")

$GoogleChrome = 0x9E0E09 ; Youtube icon color

MsgBox(4096, "", "Go to DeskTop Before Pressing Home.")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd


Func TogglePause()
    $Paused = Not $Paused
    While $Paused
        Sleep(100)
        ToolTip('Script is "Paused".To resume press "Pause" again', 0, 0)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("")
EndFunc   ;==>TogglePause

Func Terminate()
    MsgBox(4096, "", "Press ok To close IE opener.")
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

Func Start()
    If $t = PixelSearch(@DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 34, 80, $GoogleChrome) Then
        ControlClick("Facebook - Google Chrome", "", 101973760, "Left", "1",)
    Else
        MsgBox(64, "Error", "Not found")
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>Start

I would like to write this script in order to speed up opening a specified page (like youtube) even if i have lagg.

+I started writing this script because i have read the help file under PixelSearch and these were it's parameters:

left left coordinate of rectangle.

top top coordinate of rectangle.

right right coordinate of rectangle.

bottom bottom coordinate of rectangle.

color Colour value of pixel to find (in decimal or hex).

shade-variation [optional] A number between 0 and 255 to indicate the allowed number of shades of variation of the red, green, and blue components of the colour. Default is 0 (exact match).

step [optional] Instead of searching each pixel use a value larger than 1 to skip pixels (for speed). E.g. A value of 2 will only check every other pixel. Default is 1.

hwnd [optional] Window handle to be used.

The last one means that you can use this function for Windows which are not on the screen but maybe on the tray.

Thanks for help!

PixelSearch Only searches the visible screen.

Why don't you directly access the objects you need to click on?

#JohnOne But than why hwnd command is there as well?
I mean it means that you it handels a specific window.

#water How do i do that?

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by "clicks to a bookmark of mine while it's on the tray."

Is this a link on the desktop, a bookmark in a browser ...?

[szucsaaron 0]

Bookmark in browser.
And btw i would like to do it in a way that when for exmaple I start playing with a game, i click on the script which will in the webbrowser click on the icon (in bookmarks) of build/guides page so it runs meanwhile a start the game.

+"clicks to a bookmark of mine while it's on the tray it" means that it operates while the browser is on the tray.Like the example script for ControlSend, but with click.

[water 2,341]

Which browser do we talk about: Internet Explorer, Firefox ...?

[szucsaaron 0]

Google Chorme.

Or, btw it could be any of the ones mentiond by you, if it does the controlClick.

Because then you only need to change some pixels.

Google Chorme.

I don't think there is a Chrome UDF title="">available.

If it were IE or FF then AutoIt could use the available UDFs.

[water 2,341]

Sorry, my bad. Should be: ControlGetText

Oh. Isn't it possible to do with control send and Pixelsearch?

[water 2,341]

Not while on the tray as JohnOne stated in his post.

What if it wasn't on  the tray but it would not be active. By this i mean that the window is not on top but still on the screen?

[water 2,341]

A Bookmark just contains an URL. Why don't you start the browser with AutoIt and pass the URL?

[szucsaaron 0]

 
That would be too easy

And i could also do that by making a shortcut for that URL.

[water 2,341]

That's it. If you have a knife that solves your problem in 2 seconds, why use a spoon and try for days?

[szucsaaron 0]

True.
Thanks for your help and patience.

Best regards,

Sometimes a solution you have in mind is way too complex.

But it looks like you can achieve the same goal with just a few lines of code.

I totaly agree with that.
