Pixelsearch And Pixelchecksum

[litlmike]

Whenever the color 0xFF0000 (red) appears in the rectangle (930, 725, 761, 1023), I want a MsgBox to appear and say "Yes!". I would like this to occur everytime 0xFF0000 appears in the rectangle. How do I do it?

I was wrong, but I thought this might work:

;*****EDIT***** FIXED Co-Ordinates*********

While 1
$coord = PixelSearch ( 930, 725, 1023, 761, 0xFF0000 )  
    If $coord  = 1 Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Yes!", "Yes!")
    EndIf
WEnd

Opt('PixelCoordMode', 2); may need to change the 2 to 1 or 0 depending on what your using to get your coords (screen/windows/client)
While 1
    If Not WinActive('Window Title To Search') Then WinActivate('Window Title To Search')
    $coord = PixelSearch ( 930, 725, 761, 1023, 0xFF0000 )  
    If Not @error And IsArray($coord) Then
        MsgBox(4096, "Yes!", 'Found at: X coord: ' $coord[0] & ' Y coord: ' & $coord[1])
    EndIf
WEnd

Your rectangle coordinates are incorrect... they should be...

left,top,right,bottom

...yours appear to be...

right,top,left,bottom

Lar.

Hmm, I didn't even check that..., I didn't know he was having a prob with them specifically, I just thought it was a general question

Actually it was a general question, but I think he was right too, my coords are off. In general, how should I approach this?

[litlmike]

perhaps...

While 1
    $coord = PixelSearch ( 761, 725, 930, 1023, 0xFF0000 )  
    If Not @error Then MsgBox(4096, "Yes!", "Yes!")
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

or maybe you meant by the systray clock...

While 1
    $coord = PixelSearch ( 725, 930, 761, 1023, 0xFF0000 )  
    If Not @error Then MsgBox(4096, "Yes!", "Yes!")
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

edit: added CPU cycle saving Sleep()

Hmm... didn't seem to do it. Any other ideas?

PixelCoordMode? ... Window Is Active?

sorry for posting this here, but you guys seem good with pixels maybe you can help, If you don't mind.My Webpage

this works on my systray... you need to make sure you have the correct color value... use the window info tool...

$LarrysSysTrayPixel = 0xA9BD31

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)

$systray_rect = WinGetPos("classname=Shell_TrayWnd")

While 1
    $coord = PixelSearch ( $systray_rect[2] - 240, $systray_rect[1], _
        $systray_rect[2], $systray_rect[1] + $systray_rect[3], $LarrysSysTrayPixel )    
    If Not @error Then MsgBox(4096, "Yes!", "Yes!")
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Nice! It works.

I am glad you showed me "classname=Shell_TrayWnd", I haven't used that before, and I think that will help me on some other problems I have.

Also, no one has been able to explain this to me yet (so I can understand it). But the [2], [1], stuff, what is that? And, how do you know to use it in this case?

Thanks a lot everyone!

[2],[1]

Dim $MyArray[2] << Allows 2 elements in an array... those would be [0] and [1], and must use Local/Dim/Global (one of those) to declare it.

So... I could have

$MyArray[0] = 'I am going to '

$MyArray[1] = 'Laugh Out Loud'

Then I can check my array like:

Dim $MyArray[2]
$MyArray[0] = 'I am going to '
$MyArray[1] = 'Laugh Out Loud'
For $i = 0 To Ubound($MyArray) - 1
    MsgBox(0, '$i = ' & $i, $MyArray[$i])
Next

Edit:

I guess it's like being able to have one variable with multiple values, but still have an independence, if you want to look at it like that.
