PixelGetColor - wrong colors

[Miliardsto]

Hello i have problem with function PixelGetColor. On my computer it working fine but in some cases it not working.

And Im clicking on the active window on red color and it give me the same color still. But in other computers when clicking on the same color red it gives other values and returned color in MsgBox is not red.

Dont know is it a real main thing what causing problem but,

I noticed that problem was on one windows 10.

I have windows 8 and working well. On other windows 10 works well to

Maybe it is caused by windows aero or something like that

How to deal with it?

There is a code

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "MouseCord")


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd



Func MouseCord()

    Global $MousePos = MouseGetPos()
    $clickedColor = PixelGetColor($MousePos[0], $MousePos[1])
    MsgBox(0, "Done", $clickedColor)


EndFunc

Is it returning the color of the point pointer as you are using that pixel?

1. Mouse move everythere u want

2. Press PAUSE/BREAK make call MouseCoord func

3. in $MousePos is stored color where mouse was when PAUSE/BREAK was pressed

Returning Decimal color https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/PixelGetColor.htm

Yea fine but ...  what is the answer to my question?

[Miliardsto]

I dont know what your question exactly mean

[Jos]

If you take the position of the mousepointer and check for the pixel colour, isn't it than likely that it returns the colour of the mouspointer in stead of the color of the original pixel?

Just run the code below. if u click on white color it returns FFFFF if u click on blue it returns blue in rgb, red click returns nearing to FF0000.

As I said in these computers where this function not working it returns always other color if u clicking the same color.

 

 

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <ComboConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Timers.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <TabConstants.au3>
#include <ColorConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "MouseCord")


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd



Func MouseCord()

    Global $MousePos = MouseGetPos()
    $clickedColor = Hex(PixelGetColor($MousePos[0], $MousePos[1]))
    MsgBox(0, "Done", $clickedColor)


EndFunc

Please make a screenshot and post it here!

I think of problems with MouseCoordMode/ PixelCoordMode.

[Miliardsto]

in the top of my script is

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0)

there is no difference on my computer if it set to 1 or 0

if i click on red it gives me red

[AndyG]

Why don´t you post a screenshot?

[Miliardsto]

for what reason? what u want see. 10 screenshots when i click on the same position and it gives differents colors?

[Bert]

no - we want to see what app you are dealing with. There may be a better way to fix your problem.

Yes! There IS a reason, and I want to see it! 

You asked for help and support us with...nothing. Waste our time is not very solution-oriented...

[Nitrolord]

Jos is correct it is returning the pixel at the very tip of your mouse pointer.

problem solved here.

lol . it not solve the problem. its not problem in 3 pixels right or down. 

 

cLICK ON THE same color - still same color - gives different colors

[Bert]

and Miliardsto refuses to give the name of the application. So, I have no choice but to assume it is for a game and that is against forum rules. Time to put up or stop. The name of the application you are wanting to automate please.

I will do a *click* for this threat as it seems all important information is exchanged that you are willing to share.
