patrickkidd Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I am trying to automate an app that uses lots of non-standard gui elements, and so image search is the only way. The only image search functionality I can find for AutoIt is ImageSearchDll.dll but it looks quite old now (2009) and I can't seem to get it to work. There are many old forum posts on it and once you dig to find one of a few different dll downloads, it's still difficult to debug and get working. Is there a better way these days? I'm on a headless (hence the need for automation) Windows 7 system. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

computergroove Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 What issues are you running into? I'm pretty good with imagesearch. I cant get imagesearch to work at all. Take a screenshot of your desktop and crop out a small square of the picture. Open a window (like a browser window) to cover the area of the desktop that was cropped. Have a msgbox appear saying success when I minimize the browser window and the cropped image is visable. Please post the code for this simple example. Get Scite to add a popup when you use a 3rd party UDF -> http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/SciTE4AutoIt3/user-calltip-manager.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
