C++ Help : Pixel Detection

[Mason]

I have been searching around google, and most of the things I have found on the subject are about collision detection for game programming. I am attempting to do in C++ what AutoIt's PixelFind function does. I have found nothing to get me started though. Preferably I want to do it somewhat low level, without having to use the windows API or a graphics library like DirectX, BUT if it is necesarry I will. Thanks for any input on functions or articles or information you can give me.

Are you wanting to read the entire screen or a single window? No, DirectX is not necessary. You will have to use a few Windows APIs. Do you know how to work with memory bitmaps? Heres an article for getting a bitmap of the screen.

I use pixel search in a dev:

GetPixel() function just return you RGB color code.

Good luck

GetPixel()? What needs to be imported? What needs to be linked? Is it a class member function? You aren't specific at all there.
