Get Pixel Problem

[Bert]

I made this script to get a pixel color when you click.

Opt("PixelCoordMode",2)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",2)
Opt("ColorMode", 0)
#Include <Misc.au3>
$v_dll = 'user32.dll'
$mschk = MouseGetPos()
while 1
 
if _IsPressed(01,$v_dll) then 
$mschk = MouseGetPos()
$colorwin = PixelGetColor($mschk[0], $mschk[1])
$ms = MsgBox(1,"",$colorwin & @CRLF & "X =" & $mschk[0] & "  Y = " & $mschk[1])
 if $ms = 2 then 
  exit
 endif 
endif
sleep(20)
WEnd

I expect the format on the return to be in the format 0xRRGGBB, What I get is this: 16777215

According to the help file, I can set the colormode to RGB by setting it to "0", but this makes no difference.

in further reading of the helpfile, I find the sentence where it says "Returns decimal value of pixel's color." Now I get it, but how do I get it to return the RGB value?

Hmmm, It returns RGB automatically (You'd have to do something entirely different to get BGR), it returns it in decimal, if you want the "Hex" value, simply do:

$var = '0x' & Hex(PixelGetColor(x, y), 6)

Edit:

This is assuming as long as you've been using AutoIt that your using the latest beta of course

Ah, I put in the code, and it works nicely. I coded it so it will return both ways.

Opt("PixelCoordMode",2)
Opt("MouseCoordMode",2)
Opt("ColorMode", 0)
#Include <Misc.au3>
$v_dll = 'user32.dll'
$mschk = MouseGetPos()
while 1
 
if _IsPressed(01,$v_dll) then 
$mschk = MouseGetPos()
$colorwin = PixelGetColor($mschk[0], $mschk[1])
$colorwin1 = '0x' & Hex(PixelGetColor($mschk[0], $mschk[1]), 6)
$ms = MsgBox(1,"",$colorwin & "  = Decimal value" & @CRLF & $colorwin1 & "  = Hex value"& @CRLF & "X =" & $mschk[0] & "  Y = " & $mschk[1])
 if $ms = 2 then 
  exit
 endif 
endif
sleep(20)
WEnd

I'm thinking of adding this to the SciTE toolbar. Thoughts?
