PixelGetColor / MouseCoordMode

[ktvegas]

Hi guys.

I am starting from the beginning and writing very small scripts to get my feet wet. My problem is this:

I am trying to find out of a pixel in a specific window has been switched to white (it's normally grey). The pixel is located at coordinate 653,57 in a specific window (not screen 653,57 - inside the active window)

The window is called "mail check"

To start - all I want is for my script to open the window (which I have minimized) and check a pixel location, then pop up a message box saying the color of that pixel location.

This is my 4 line script.

WinActivate ("mail check");

Opt("MouseCoordMode", 0);

$mail = PixelGetColor(653,57);

MsgBox(0,"Color of the Pizel",$mail);

I "think" it has something to do with the Opt(MouseCoordMode) setting, but I can't pin it down.

To sum up...I open a window, check a pixel location and popup a box with the color (in decimal) of the pixel location checked. It's not checking the pixel within the window that I activated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I found my answer...PixelCoordMode...not MouseCoordMode...duh

Thanks
