Imagesearch() looks for desktop, not actived window

[marko001]

Hi all guys,

I was asked to develop a tool to manage a .NET application in our office (medical equipment).

I need to store informations as soon as windows appear.

I used the following:

            $PId = RunWait(@comspec & " /c " & chr(34) & $s_appfolder & "\" & $s_appname & chr(34))

;           WinMove($s_app_label, "", 0, 0)

            Local $t = 0

            While $t = 0

                If _ImageSearcharea($imagesearchfolder2 & "\query.bmp", 1, 0, 0, @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, $x, $y, 100) = 1 Then

                    WinMove($s_app_label, "", 0, 0)

                    $t = 1

                EndIf

            WEnd ;                                
            _status(0, "Compiling Datas")

But this time it doesn't work and for sure query.bmp is the correct file i need to search for.

To understand better I tried the following:

if Not WinActive($s_app_label) Then

    WinActivate($s_app_label)

    WinMove($s_app_label,"",0,0)

EndIf
_ScreenCapture_Capture("query.bmp",0,0, 500,500,0)

and... result is a query.bmp that doesn't capture the .Net program but the desktop.

It seems both imagesearch() and _screencapture() don't recognize the program window but go back to desktop (seems a transparent window but window is not transparent).

In the past I used, for other projects,

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

I'm under W7X64.

 

Any clue on how to solve that?

Thanks erveryone?

Have you looked at this:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

You may be able to look at the controls directly and not do an image search. That way it would be MUCH more stable.

@MBALZESHARI : Hmm sounds interesting.

Honestly speaking I never used these methods. Do you mind trying to explain me the basics to fit it into my project?

I suggest you read the thread. It explains everything and give links to resources.
