SoyArcano,

Have you downloaded the UDF and placed it somewhere where AutoIT can find it?

The Adding UDFs to AutoIt and SciTE tutorial in the Wiki might be a useful read.

Ok so i must to download it and use it. About scite can be included but i must to include in a registry key or something like that i read in the guide not sure. I was thinking if include in the include folder would be enough but i was wrong.

SoyArcano,

Placing the downloaded UDF into the standard "Include" folder will suffice , but best to do as the Wiki tutorial suggests and create your own folder.

P.S. And please answer the PMs that you have received from the Moderation team as soon as possible.

I answered you about the problem.. i wait this answer clear everything.. and i tried to include the library only since include but like you say not seems to be enough because now when i try use it return me other different errors so i think because i didnt include the library like say in the guide. only including since include folder.

If i include only in include return me missing separator character before keyword. Sorry again for all and i hope some help about this .thx

I actually helped someone get there image search working some time ago.. I'll post the forum below. Post 2 has a  zip file with a tester script, along with the dll, and post 4 has the Imagesearch.au3 that needs to be placed in this directory C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include

wow thx very clear. the only thing the dll is the file or other file? sorry but i'm little newbie. Anyways the problem of library is solved i included and i can use now imagesearch. very helpful

The ImageSearchDLL.dll has to be in the same folder with the Check Image.au3 script. It doesn't go inside the include folder

Ok if i understand well sorry if i am slow to understand this. I put the library in include separately. And download your example with the dll to test it. So i only can test your program if i use how you uploaded it. But one small question. When i click over check image doesnt do nothing. Maybe because the program is not visible?

Download the file I've attached in this post and place it in your autoit directory. Usually it's in this directory ..

directory C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include

The folder will have a whole bunch of other stuff in it. See the picture below to understand

ImageSearch.au3

[SoyArcano]

Yeah i did that

 

it's ok

When that Imagesearch.au3 has been included inside your autoit directory you can then download that Mapping.zip. When you unzip that you'll see the Check Image.au3 and the ImageSearch.DLL. The Check Image.au3 and the ImageSearch.DLL stays together. Place your images inside the Images folder..

Inside the Check Image.au3 you'll have to add your own information. 

Local $aIcons[2], $i ; [] << How many images we're looking for

    $aIcons[0] = @ScriptDir & "\Images\Image1.bmp" ; Change image1 to your image names
    $aIcons[1] = @ScriptDir & "\Images\Image2.bmp

#include <ImageSearch.au3>
#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Global $y = 0, $x = 0
Global $i

ArcMap_SideBar()

Func ArcMap_SideBar()

    #include <ImageSearch.au3>
    Local $aIcons[2], $i

    $aIcons[0] = @ScriptDir & "\Images\Image1.bmp"
    $aIcons[1] = @ScriptDir & "\Images\Image2.bmp"

    For $i = 0 To UBound($aIcons) - 1
        $result = _ImageSearch($aIcons[$i], 1, $x, $y, 20, 0)
        If $result > 0 Then
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "ArcGIS Desktop", "ArcGIS sidebar is active.", 10)
            ExitLoop
            Sleep(1000)
        EndIf
    Next

EndFunc   ;==>ArcMap_SideBar

Ok i did that:

However when i run the program doesnt show me the messagebox this is good or bad?

[aa2zz6]

You'll need to narrow your picture search. For example, if your looking for the recycling bin you'll want to grab a small portion of the image.  I'll include 2 images taken from the recycling bin.

But what does this program take my images and change them? My .exe compile fine i run it but i dont know if change the image or what changes do? sorry i'm newbie and sorry for revive the post.

[aa2zz6]

The script doesn't change the pictures. It simply looks at the pictures and compares it against the desktop or an active application. If it's a match your function will run whatever is written in your function.
