Please help me with the pixelchecksum

[jarciu00]

Hello, first of all I'd like to say that I'm totally newbie and I want to create a script, which would capture a part of my screen and if some pixel there change, he will insert some keys. I've tried to do that with function pixelchecksum but I don't know how to do that. I started with the following code:

Local $iCheckSum = PixelChecksum(1418, 367, 1586, 426)

I don't know how to manage with if not command in this case. I tried also use this:

controlsend("", "", "", "(ctrldown)(l)(ctrlup)")

but it doesn't work also.

Please help me

Welcome to AutoIt and the forum!

If you could tell us which program you try to automate we could suggest the best solution. Pixel* functions are slow and not very reliable.

Just for the record: You need curly brackets around CTRLDOWN and CTRLUP.
The helpfile is your friend.

Also ensure you read our forum rules to get yourself familiarized with them!

Local $iCheckSum = PixelChecksum(1418, 367, 1586, 426)

While 3
    If PixelChecksum(1418, 367, 1586, 426) <> $iCheckSum Then
        MsgBox(0, "message", "region changed")
    EndIf
    Sleep(333)
WEnd

I'm using autoit v3. Thank you guys for all the replies. I've changed the brackets and used the script from above and now it's working. Thanks!

Local $iCheckSum = PixelChecksum(1418, 367, 1586, 426)

While 3
    If PixelChecksum(1418, 367, 1586, 426) <> $iCheckSum Then
        controlsend("", "", "", "{ctrldown}{l}{ctrlup}")
    EndIf
    Sleep(333)
WEnd
