Read text from another window

[Vegar]

Hello

I have a musicprogram (Spotify).. this program plays a commercial between the songs each 10 song or something like that.. and i want to make a script witch changes to the next song a couple of seconds before the song is finnished, because then it will not come any commercial...

so the thing i need to read from the spotify windows is how long the song is, and how far out in the song i have lisended.

but obviously this changes between each song .. so how could i do this?

try pixel get color, when the white dot gets to the end of the bar then ctrl click cords or something

Wrong, the commercial will start anyways. I've been using Spotify myself for months so I know.

Ok,

But i think i will try this anyway..

but i have a question about "pixelgetcolor"..

how can i make it chuck it in the spotifywindow if i have another window open..

and if the spotify screen is not maximized?

and if someone with a bigger/smaller screen than i have is going to try it?

PixelGetColor ( x , y [, hwnd] )

The position control always stays at the same place (relative to the window size), so you can count the pixels from the right side.

Btw, 2 minutes ago a commercial break just started even though I did as you said, so now I'm 100% sure.

Ok...

but i'le try this just for the expirience then

but wounder if it was any way to make a scipt that could skip the commercials.. or spool thru it or something..
