Highlight a "frame" on screen... ?

[Hooch]

I am scanning a section of my screen for a pixel....

$coord   = PixelSearch ($bLeft, $bTop, $bRight, $bBottom, $bColor, $bTolerance, 3)

...and what I want to do is put a visible frame around the box so I can get a visual representation of the area I am scanning. I expect I can use DLLCall but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I would approach this.

mmm very close with that one in that it writes the rectangle but I just want a frame and your drawRectangle() fills in every pixel in the rectangle.

I'll play with it and see what I can do, thanks

ah, got it... thanks a bunch!

Func DrawRectangle($bLeft, $bRight, $bBottom, $bTop, $color)  
; Left Line
    For $y = $bBottom to $bTop step -1
        PixelDraw($bLeft, $y, $color)
    Next
    
; Right Line
    For $y = $bBottom to $bTop step -1
        PixelDraw($bRight, $y, $color)
    Next
    
; Top Line
    For $x = $bRight to $bLeft step -1
        PixelDraw($x, $bTop, $color)
    Next
    
; Bottom Line
    For $x = $bRight to $bLeft step -1
        PixelDraw($x, $bBottom, $color)
    Next
EndFunc
