PixelGetColor - relative

[Jefferds44]

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to AutoIt. I'd like to get a pixel color from a window but PixelGetColor always returns an absolute value.

Here's what I did:

• I used the Finder Tool to select the pixel I wanted to know the color.
• I then entered the info for that pixel in my script.

Here's my code:

WinActivate ("Neptune Dropper")
$var = PixelGetColor (214, 592, "Neptune Dropper")
dbg("The value of PixelGetColor is " & $var)
dbg("The value of PixelGetColor is " & Hex($var, 6))

I have only been getting absolute results. I have read the documentation and it states that by default the coordinates for PixelGetColor are relative. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Secondly, I was wondering if the relative coordinates were "Window" coordinates or "Client" coordinates?

Thanks,

Jeff
