Help Finding Empty Cell in a window similar to 'excel'

[BatMan22]

I am attempting to find the first empty cell in a window that is excel-ish... Unfortunately the copy command, is useless and windowinfo give me no text info at all because the program was probably written in the 1800's. So I am attempting to check ~2 characters worth of pixels for writing, the writing will either be pink or blue. So what I am looking for is a program that will do something like this: Check pixels 50,156 to 65,156 if color is never pink or blue then line is empty and success, otherwise "down key" (moves to the next line without changing co-ordinates because I made the window very thin) and search those coordinates again.. I attached a picture of the window.

 

This is what I have: 

expandcollapse popup

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GUIListBox.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPIFiles.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <File.au3>


$sParentWindowTitle = "Queue Editor"

If WinActivate($sParentWindowTitle) Then
        ResizeWindow()
    Else
        MsgBox(0,"","Open Queue Editor!")
        Break
EndIf


Func ResizeWindow()
        ; Move the Notepad to the x, y position of 0, 0 and set the height and width at 1491, 195.
    WinMove($sParentWindowTitle, "", 0, 0, 1491, 195)
    FindFirstLine()
    Sleep(1000)
    ;MoveBack()
EndFunc

Func FindFirstLine()
    $pixleft=50
    $pixtop=156
    Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0)
    MouseMove($pixleft , $pixtop)
    Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0)
    $CopyColor=PixelGetColor ($pixleft , $pixtop)
    If $CopyColor = 0xFF00FF Then Send("{Down}") & $pixleft=50 & FindFirstLine(); if pink then restart
    If $CopyColor = 0x0000FF Then Send("{Down}") & $pixleft=50 & FindFirstLine(); if blue then restart
    $pixleft+= 1
    If $pixleft=65 then MsgBox(0,"","Success! ThisBoxIsBlank"); if I made it to pixelleft = 65 without restarting then the line must be clear
EndFunc

Func MoveBack()
    WinMove($sParentWindowTitle, "", 178, 219, 1267, 652)
EndFunc

there may be a ControlID that the window info tool is not showing.  try these additional control info sniffer tools...

HAH! I got it working! I'm a GENIUS! I'm sure I can blend those two searches (one for pink then blue) into one search, but... for now it works, I tried a "OR" statement, but that didn't work. Is there a way to do something like.. Local $aCoord = PixelSearch(50, 156, 70, 157, 0xFF00FF OR 0x0000FF) to search for both pink OR blue at the same time?

    WinMove($sParentWindowTitle, "", 0, 0, 1491, 195)
    Sleep(500);pause so screen can refresh
    BoxSearch()
    Sleep(1000)
    MoveBack()

    If not @error Then
        Send("{Down}")
        BoxSearch()
    EndIf
    SearchBlue()
EndFunc
Func SearchBlue()
    Opt("PixelCoordMode", 0)
    Local $aCoord = PixelSearch(50, 156, 70, 157, 0x0000FF) ; search for blue
    If not @error Then
        Send("{Down}")
        BoxSearch()
