Pixelgetcolor (autoitx3)

Hi,

First of all, a big thanks for AutoItx3! I just start to use it in my vbscripts.

I tried to use the PixelGetColor method.

It returns a number that seems totaly random to me: I expected it to returns the RGB values but it doesn't.

It also doesn't work on overlay windows:

If you play a video and try to get a pixel color value from inside the video window, it will always returns the same number.

I wanted to use this tool to detect automaticaly the color in an overlay window, to see if it's totaly black, totaly pink, totaly blue or if something is playing...

That is because video overlays are hardware accelerated by the video card. If you hit printscreen, go to mspaint and paste, you will see exactly what autoit sees.

You are seeing the decimal representation of the hex number. You could convert it to hex to get the RGB components, but that is rarely needed. Just enclose the color you wish to test against in quotes (like this: "FF00FF") or use the hex number to compare it (like this: 0xFF00FF).

You could also test using the decimal number that the AU3_Spy window returns. There's not a lot of point to this other than to obfuscate your code.

There is more to it than that. On a video overlay, it will always show up as black "000000".

Take a screenshot, paste it into any image editing software, and you'll see why. 0x000000 = 0 = black.

Somehow I thought that he posted that, not you.

So no way it can check the color of overlay windows....

Anyway this feature can be very useful for (still) image processing automation.

You can also play a video in non overlay window if you open a first video before. Then the second video (playing at the same time as the first) won't be in overlay.

I will try it as soon as the update is released.

It will be cool to have something like 120;85;12 instead of 54236... 8)

Use this code:

Func DecodeRGB($RGBValue)
    DIM $Colors[3]
    $RGBValue = Hex(Number($RGBValue), 6)
    $Colors[0] = Dec(StringMid($RGBValue, 1, 2))
    $Colors[1] = Dec(StringMid($RGBValue, 3, 2))
    $Colors[2] = Dec(StringMid($RGBValue, 5, 2))
    Return $Colors
EndFunc

Returns an array containing the R, G and B value as [0], [1] or [2].
