Help with _ImageSearch

[LisHawj]

I wrote an image search routine using the ImageSearch2015.au3 and the script by itself does work normally.  However, when I call the function from a larger script it does not work.  The script just seems to hang and does not move the mouse cursor to the update button on screen.  I have spent 2 hours banging my head and cannot seem to figure out why it's not working.  Your assistance is greatly appreciated and thank you.

Standalone imagesearch function(working):

; Script Start - Add your code below here
#include <imagesearch2015.au3>
HotKeySet("{End}", "Stop")
HotKeySet("{Home}", "Start")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func Start()
    $x1 = 0
    $y1 = 0
    $image = "C:\Reports\addnotes.png"


    _ImageSearch($image, 1, $x1, $y1, 0, 0)
    MouseMove($x1, $y1, 1)
    Sleep(2000)
    MouseClick("Left")
    MsgBox(0, "", "Found update button!")
    Call("stop")
EndFunc   ;==>Start

Func stop()
    Exit
EndFunc   ;==>stop

 

Section of a larger script calling the Imagesearch function (not working):

Func Run_Cases()
    RunAsWait("username", "domain", "password", $RUN_LOGON_NOPROFILE, $sCases_Website & $sTicket)
    WinWaitActive("Case Management System - Internet Explorer")
    WinActivate("Case Management System - Internet Explorer")
    WinSetState("Case Management System - Internet Explorer", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

    $x1 = 0
    $y1 = 0
    $picture = "C:\Reports\addnotes.png"

    _ImageSearch($picture, 1, $x1, $y1, 0, 0)
    MouseMove($x1, $y1, 1)
    Sleep(2000)
    MouseClick("Left")

    MsgBox(0, "", "Found update button")
    Call("stop")
EndFunc   ;==>Run_Cases

Your program makes what you told him to do:

Quote

RunAsWait

Runs an external program under the context of a different user and pauses script execution until the program finishes.

after external program is finished, script will waiting for the Case Management System -Internet Explorer window.

Thanks for alerting me to the "RunasWait" command.  I corrected that and the script proceeds to completion, but I am still unable to successfully perform an image search, but the same exact image search codes as a standalone search works.  I am at a lost here so any additional advice is much appreciated.  Below is the full section of the script and maybe it will help to determine where I am screwing up.  Thanks in advance.
