Variable "type" Trouble?

[ISOHaven]

I guess the best thing to do would be to show you what I'm getting.

This returns the hex value of the color at 200,400 on a specific screen. GOOD!

$x = 200

$y = 400

$var = PixelGetColor( $x , $y )

...msgbox $var...

However this returns 0 even thou my mouse is on specific colors. BAD!

$pos = MouseGetPos()

$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[1] )

...msgbox $var...

This also returns 0 (kinda reduntant) BAD!

$pos = MouseGetPos()

$x = $pos[0]

$y = $pos[1]

$var = PixelGetColor( $x , $y )

...msgbox $var...

So if I enter numbers into the variables it works fine. If I let MouseGetPos fill the variables then PixelGetColor fails. Am I dealing with bad "types" here?

What I'm after is getting the hex value of the color under my mouse when I run the function specificly. So basicly, a color picker.

Thanks for any help!

maybe this???

MouseCoordMode Sets the way coords are used in the mouse functions, either absolute coords or coords relative to the current active window:

0 = relative coords to the active window

1 = absolute screen coordinates (default)

2 = relative coords to the client area of the active window

put this in your script with the correct opt

Opt("MouseCoordMode", ?)       ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client

Opt("MouseCoordMode", ?)       ;1=absolute, 0=relative, 2=client

probably a game. probably has it's own mouse driver. custom driver probably breaks standard MS rules. probably gonna have to play the boring game without a bot.

You lost me. I set the active window to my app which I made myself in vb.net and I need to pull up web templates and allow the user to click on a color and have it give them the HEX value. So no, this is in windows and in a window.

Anyone else? Anyway to force $pos[0] to numeric?

[Valuater]

just for giggles try this

$x = 200
$y = 400
$var = PixelGetColor( $x , $y )
msgbox(0,"", $var )
MouseMove($x, $y)

This is just ticking me off now.

I did what you said above. Msgbox shows "F6D8CC" then moves to the right spot.

Using numbers works fine. So I tried your MouseMove on my script:

$pos = MouseGetPos()

$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[1] )

MsgBox(0,"The hex color is", Hex($var, 6))

MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1])

I have to hit F10 to run this. So when I hit F10 with my mouse near the lower right corner of my screen the msgbox shows "000000" and after I click OK my mouse moves to the lower right hand corner.

SO, MouseMove has no problem with those variables yet PixelGetColor does.

Looks like I found a bug!

I tried this numerous times and it always worked

HotKeySet("{F8}", "Get_color" )
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Exit_1")

Func Get_color()

$pos = MouseGetPos()
$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[1] )
MsgBox(0,"The hex color is", Hex($var, 6))
MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1])
$pos = MouseGetPos()
$var2 = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[1] )
MsgBox(0,"The hex color is", Hex($var2, 6))

EndFunc

Func Exit_1()
    Exit
EndFunc

While 1
    sleep(10)
WEnd

Then it's the control in my app. Since numeric works fine can we try forcing those variables to numberic? Any way to do that?

Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!

$pos = MouseGetPos()
$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[1] )
MsgBox(0,"The hex color is", Hex($var, 6))
MouseMove($pos[0], $pos[1])

What are the coordinates after you move the mouse over your control?

$pos = MouseGetPos()
MsgBox(0,"The coordinates are:", "x: " & $pos[0] & " y: " & $pos[1])
$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0] , $pos[1] )
MsgBox(0,"The hex color is", Hex($var, 6))

Send the output of the two msgbox() statements.

BTW: You're sure that you did not change MouseCoordMode from absoulte screen coordinates mode to relative mode?

Cheers

Message Box 1: x: 353 y: 465

Message Box 2: 000000

This makes absolutly no sense what so ever. Even IsNumber returns 1. So that function gets numeric data yet returns 0.

EDIT:

...and yes I am not using MouseCoordMod.

Number() converts expression to a number. but, one thing that i'm thinking though...maybe it's grabbing a piece of your cursor....try using this script to debug...

while 1
$pos = MouseGetPos()
$var = PixelGetColor( $pos[0]+2 , $pos[1]+2 )
tooltip($pos[0] & ", " & $pos[1] & " : " & $var)
sleep(100)
wend
