I am new is there such a thing as a "memory" array?

[KalInEx]

I want to use CreateDIBSection() to create a bitmap so that the bit values can be accessed more directly than using GetPixel() or SetPixel(). I know from experience that those standard routines are 20x slower than using pointers to modify the memory used to store the color values. I assume this speedup is solely because the setter and getter routines are generic and made to work with any type and color format for the bitmaps they are made to work with (I know it could have been done better 20x is HUGE!!!).

Anyway to make a long story shorter I want more direct access to the bitmap bit values can AutoIT do this? I am new so if I missed something about the language syntax forgive me. As a note: ReadProcessMemory() and WriteProcessMemory() are not solutions it would really take pointers to get a significant speedup for some serious gamer OCR =>

There are several results when I search the forum for CreateDIBSection, are those not working for you?

LOL First place I check is the help file and then when I dont find it there I search. Problem is I was not searching for CreateDIBSection => ty. I read through one post that was informative although still it does not tell me how to use an address returned by a function as an array. I'll figure it out or find out I can't one way or another!

I have a function in the A3LLibrary module of Auto3Lib (_Lib_CreateSolidBitmap) that I use to create bitmaps in memory. The function uses an array of integers to hold the bits of the bitmap and you can manipulate them 32 bits at a time. It might bit worth taking a look at or at least give you some ideas.
