PixelSearch in Browser - (Locked)

[hook]

Hi,

I am using AutoIt mostly for browser... But till now I have skipped on using PixelSearch since I couldn't get it to work...

SO for short, to see if I could get it working I tested it on Paint (in Windows 10) instead... That worked fine...
BUT when it came to the browser and the content in the browser (the "webpage") it wouldn't work anymore....

If I also test for the browser app in itself (Chrome) it works just like the test with paint - but not the content (webpage)..

Anyone else having experienced this ? and maybe know the solution? ..

Would be real nice to have it working

To work with Browsers I suggest the WebDriver UDF.
Pixelsearch isn't very reliable due to multiple reasons.
What do you want to achieve with the Browser automation? Enter data, retrieve content ... ?

Can you show the web page you are having problem with, along with the code you are using that isn't working.  Give us the debug answer you have got to say it didnt work

ok... I will just leave out the pixelsearch then.... It is not a normal webpage... AND I am _not_ going into the HTML and so on in the "page"...

It is to make some automatic stuff for a browser game (only controlling keyboard and mouse) but this is slightly off topic... The concern was only how to use the pixelsearch - but seems a problem in the browser..

The code is just a very simple test... made many tests before to try figuring out PixelSearch.. SO I went back to basics... making it as simple as possible... Just not working for the content of the browser...

This is all my test code:
 

_main()

Func _main()
    While 1
        $RedPix = PixelSearch(221, 477, 386, 536, 0xF60000)
        If IsArray($RedPix) = True Then
            MsgBox(0, '', 'Red pix coords:')
            ExitLoop
        Else
            Sleep(100)
        EndIf
    WEnd
EndFunc

Welcome to the AutoIt forum.

Unfortunately you appear to have missed the Forum rules on your way in. Please read them now - particularly the bit about not discussing game automation - and then you will understand why you will get no help and this thread will now be locked.

See you soon with a legitimate question I hope.
