If Then with GetPixel fail?

[BrookieDragon]

OK, I'm trying to create a script exit via opening the Windows start menu (vista) and matching the white in the info box there.

Basically...have the script running, running, running, hit the windows key, start menu opens, white background of the recently used programs list is shown, script stops. (got stuck in a few infinite loops earlier where I had no control over the mouse to manually close the script)

I made a little test script to work on this, but for the life of me, I can not get this to work. Anyone see anything blaring'ly wrong?

$i = 1

Do

if PixelGetColor(252,980) = "FFFFFF" Then

Send ("o")

Sleep(300)

EndIf

Send ("x")

Sleep(200)

Until $i = 2

I usually just test this with notepad up to see whats being written. I have yet to get an "o". Edited May 1, 2008 by BrookieDragon

pixelGetColor isnt returning hex value, you should change:

if PixelGetColor(252,980) = "FFFFFF" Then

to:

if hex(PixelGetColor(252,980),6) = "FFFFFF" Then

Thanks much, I was thinking my problem was with that. Cause all the script samples used something other then what the Autoit windows info tool was returning.

Is there an easy way to get hex using the window tool?

just get decimal value of color and use

if PixelGetColor(252,980) = hex(716259,6) Then

in this example you color value was 716259
