Same thing different results ?

Hi !

Today I was introduced to AutoIT and I must say it looks very promising. Eager to start coding I decided to read up on and start coding a very easy

card detector. Basically it should detect some pixels in a pokerwindow(play money) with PixelChecksum and with the help of that decide what card you have in your hand. My first code snippet was in a file and looked like this:

$window = "Play Money"  ; window name

;holecard 1
$x1=199
$y1=354
$x2=215
$y2=388
WinActivate($window)
$checksum1 = PixelChecksum($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2)

MsgBox(0, "Tutorial", $checksum1)

So I just ran the program a few times when I got a hand a made sure when I got the same holecard on tha position that it did show the same value, it went smooth.

Excited I went on to code some kind of GUI(with the help of some code examples on this site), so I had a file with this code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$window = "Play Money"  ; window name

;Seat 1 coordinates, holecard 1
$x1=199
$y1=354
$x2=215
$y2=388

;Global variable
Global $x1,$x2,$y1,$y2

$gui = GUICreate("Testpok", 200, 200,800,0)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Hole Cards:", 8, 8, 59, 17)
$gui_hole_card_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 4, 25, 21)
$gui_hole_card_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 104, 4, 25, 21)
$gui_progress_check = GUICtrlCreateProgress(0, 140, 137, 13)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Flop:", 8, 40, 27, 17)
$gui_flop_card_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 40, 36, 25, 21)
$gui_flop_card_2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 72, 36, 25, 21)
$gui_flop_card_3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 104, 36, 25, 21)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Turn:", 72, 68, 29, 17)
$gui_turn_card = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 104, 64, 25, 21)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("River:", 72, 96, 32, 17)
$gui_river_card = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 104, 92, 25, 21)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Checksum:", 0, 120, 75, 17)
$gui_checksum = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 54, 120, 75, 21)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Update",  30, 170, 100)

;Settings
opt("PixelCoordMode", 0)
opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
WinSetOnTop("Testpoker", "", 1)
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

;Main Loop
While 1
   $msg = GUIGetMsg()
  Select
     Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE   
        Exitloop
    ;When update button gets pressed, find the checksum value for seat1 and holecard1
    ;and print it to the field($gui_checksum)
     Case $msg = $button
        WinActivate($window)
        $checksum1 = PixelChecksum($x1, $y1, $x2, $y2)
        GUICtrlSetData($gui_checksum, $checksum1)
    EndSelect
Wend

The idea is that when I press the update button it should show the checksum of holecard 1 (as in the first code snippet but with little GUI) and put it in the field($gui_checksum). Now here is the strange thing. When I do press the update button and update the checksum during a hand that I play the checksum values jumps like crazy even tho I have the same holecards, even without holecards it should not jump, but it does a lot. This didnt happen when I ran the first code snippet. Even tho I am new to this scripting language I can not really see what the problem is and want to kindly ask someone to point me in the right direction.
