Pixel checking the weird way (need help)

[Kukudum]

Hi all !

I am trying to check for speceific pixels drawn in a program . However this program does not support the standart windows api which makes all pixels return black .

I can do screenshot but i cannot check pixels . So i used the captdll project to make screenshots of the area i would like to check with height and width 1 pixel .

Now what i want to do is compare that file (generated file) to another (the original color i am searching for) and if they match left click the mouse . This has turned

out to be quite a problem as the file size,height,width is exactly the same for both files and Readfile only reads the first 3 or 4 lines which are exactly the same for both

files example :

File 1 :

from both files (they are bmp files) . So the function always returns true (files always match although they are different) .

I also tried crc32 but as it only reads the first 3 lines the crc32 is the same ...

If anybody could tell me a different way to compare two bmp files with the same size and parameters i would be very grateful .

I would love to help but the code is in jibberish

Um ... I don't think you realy understood me . I asked if there was a way to compare 2 bmp files without usind ReadFile . Or maybe search for a pixel

in the bmp file without me having to open i manually .

An example of what I'm trying to do is :

Capture screenshot of just 1 pixel on screen (already did that) . See if the pixel in the screenshot is green or not .

If anyone can come up with a better way please tell me (ReadPixel doesn't work on the program I'm trying -- returns black pixels) however i can do screenshots

Thanks in advance
