Extracting info from screen

[espadax4]

hi guys,

i'm looking for some tips, guide, old code, that can help me to achieve my goal :

- I want to retrieve the numbers under "Processeur" Zone (marked with yellow color)

I thinked about PixelGetColor, PixelSearch .. but looking for something that extract the number directly from a zone in the screen.

Thanks a lot

Did you search the forum for "CPU usage"? You'll find a lot of examples. WMI allows to directly read the value(s) you are looking for.

Thanks water for the tip, i will look for that.
For the retrieve data from screen directly, is there any function or api that retrieve text from screen directly (text recognition)?

Never tried it myself.
You could use the Window Info Tool that comes with AutoIt and see if MS uses a control accessible by AutoIt that holds the information.

Id: sidebar_cpu_util ( via UIA ). But you'd have to keep that window open.
I have no experience with UIA so I can't code it.

Do look into that. Is the best ( or only really ) way to do it.
