I have this code and i want to know how to take a screenhsot over an area without it changing. in other words not trigger hover events. thankfull for any response

You can take a screenshot of the whole area and crop it, but if the idea is to make it work like the windows snipping tool, maybe if your GUI is the top window the hover events are not triggered, but im not sure, the way i would try to do this would be making the gui temporarily small, or even move it off screen, during the coordinates grab, and then i would move the mouse to the first point, use a keyboard key instead of the mouse, to keep focus on my gui, and in the second point press the keyboard again, similarly like your script does, that would possibly work.

Use a different _ispressed key.  One that won't cause focus to the window.

Or, maybe something like this...it assumes that the window isn't present at 0,0:

#include <Misc.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>

screenshot()


Func screenshot()
if _IsPressed("01") Then
  $MousePos1 = MouseGetPos()
  While True
    While _IsPressed("01")
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    $MousePos2 = MouseGetPos()
    MouseMove(0,0,0)
    _ScreenCapture_Capture("test.bmp", $Mousepos1[0], $Mousepos1[1], $Mousepos2[0], $Mousepos2[1])
    return False
    Sleep(10)
  WEnd
EndIf
EndFunc
