Getting Color @ Mouse Pointer coordinates

[AITEE]

Hi! I'm new to AutoIt, but I have experience in programming with VB6. I was wondering if like say you could get the RGB value from the coordinates of the mouse. Also forgive me, I just started using this compiler today and am still learning syntax. so please bear with me. (I'm sure I'll catch on quickly)

Thanks any help is appreciated.

Look into PixelGetColor and MouseGetPos in the help file.

take a look at this link:

Okay, Thanks guys. I have a question. What language closest resembles AutoIt's syntax. Is there something simliar? Well I guess any scripter is similar. So is the best way to learn the syntax and different functions just to look through the help files? And looking at them assembled together with examples in the forum? anyway thanks for the patience. Also thanks for the quick replies.

I can only address this part right now...

I have a question about MouseMove if you guys don't mind if I just keep it here in this thread. MouseMove takes the arguments (x, y, speed) How would I use this to check to see if the mouse is moving. like for instance basically this

If (mouse is moving) Then Blah Blah Blah

I'm not sure I understand what MouseMove returns.

WAIT

would I just constantly check the return value of MouseGetPos Okay I think I got it now. but say if I used a loop to keep checking if the mouse is moving, I know in VB6 you have to use Do Events so the other routines will keep running. is there some sort of equivelant to this? or what would I need to do to accomplish this.

Or would I not even use a loop for this kind of thing if I want to keep checking if the mouse has moved and if it has then base my actions upon it.

Thank you so much guys..

Something like this?

While 1
    If _IsMouseMoving() Then
        MsgBox(0, "Warning!", "Don't move the mouse, it might bite you!")
    EndIf
Wend

Func _IsMouseMoving()
    
    Local $mPosition1
    Local $mPosition2
    
    $mPosition1 = MouseGetPos()
    Sleep(1)
    $mPosition2 = MouseGetPos()
    
    If $mPosition1[0] <> $mPosition2[0] Or $mPosition1[1] <> $mPosition2[1] Then
        Return 1
    Else
        Return 0
    EndIf
    
EndFunc
