Finding a picture on the screen

[BigDaddyO 8]

Hello,

I am writing a script to verify that online userid's and password's were setup correctly by logging in one at a time to each one then verifying that certain items are displayed on the screen which would tell me if they also have the correct rights assigned to them.

The item will be in roughly the same place for every account and it will be the same size "141w X 19h", shape "rectangle", and color "Gray box with White lettering".

I tried to figure this out from the help file but PixelCheckSum appears to be useful only for changes in specified location. PixelSearch appears to only search for one pixel.

I think I can probably do it if I figure out every pixel in the entire item in the correct order and then do a pixelsearch matching all pixels of the 141x19 box in an area of about 400 pixels wide by 200 high.

Please tell me if there is an easier way to do this.

Thanks,

Mike

Sorry, you have to make an array of all colors you need and seek every pixel. But probably you don't need to know really EVERY ONE. Maybe only some there and there like a holed grid.

I am pretty sure someone already made a UDF for that. Did you try searching?

Yea, I was searching for quite a while but if you search on Pixelsearch or PixelcheckSum you get hundreds of hits. hmm, I wonder if I can do a google search on the forum???

Wow, Thank you Larry and ezzetabi, from first glance this is exactly what I need.

I was only searching in the V3 Support area
