ImageSearchDLL - Ultra-Fast Image Search Overview ImageSearchDLL is a high-performance dynamic link library (DLL) designed for ultra-fast image searching on the screen, within other images, or using bitmap handles. It leverages SIMD instructions (SSE2, AVX2, AVX512) for optimized performance and includes features like caching, scaling, tolerance matching, and integrated mouse click functionality. The DLL is compatible with Windows environments and supports both 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) architectures. Author: Dao Van Trong - TRONG.PRO DLL Version: v3.3 License: MIT Two variants are provided: ImageSearchDLL_XP.cpp: C++03 compatible, supports Windows XP+ (legacy systems). ImageSearchDLL.cpp: Using modern c++, only supported from Win 7 SP1 (AVX2/AVX512 support on x64). ☕ Support My Work Enjoy my work? Buy me a 🍻 or tip via ❤️ PayPal Your support helps me continue developing and maintaining this library for the community! 🙏 Features Ultra-Fast Search: Uses SIMD-accelerated algorithms for rapid pixel matching. Search Modes: Screen search (capture and search on desktop or specific monitors). Image-in-image search. HBITMAP-based search. Scaling Support: Search with variable scales (min/max scale, step size). Tolerance Matching: Adjustable color tolerance for fuzzy matches. Transparency Handling: Optional alpha channel support. Caching System: In-memory LRU cache for locations and bitmaps Persistent disk cache (survives DLL reload) Optional cache control via iUseCache parameter Automatic cache validation and cleanup Multi-Monitor Support: Handles virtual screens and specific monitors. Mouse Click Integration: Click at found positions or windows with customizable speed and buttons. Debug Output: Optional detailed debug information in results. System Info: Retrieve CPU features, screen details, and cache status. Pool Management: Efficient memory pooling for pixel buffers. Requirements Operating System: XP Version: Windows XP or later. Modern Version: Windows 7 or later (recommended for AVX support). Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) or compatible. Dependencies: GDI+ (included in Windows), no external libraries needed. CPU: SSE2 required for basic functionality; AVX2/AVX512 for enhanced performance on x64. For AutoIt Users ⚠️ AutoIt users should use the UDF wrapper instead of calling DLL directly. The ImageSearchDLL_UDF.au3 wrapper provides: ✅ Easy-to-use functions with AutoIt-friendly syntax ✅ Automatic error handling and validation ✅ Multi-monitor support with WinAPI fallback (v3.3) ✅ Built-in monitor enumeration and coordinate conversion ✅ Reliable mouse operations on all configurations 👉 See README_UDF.md for AutoIt documentation and examples. Installation (C++/Other Languages) Build the DLL: Open the .cpp file in Visual Studio. Set platform to x86 or x64. Build as a DLL project. Output: ImageSearchDLL_x64.dll or ImageSearchDLL_x86.dll Usage in Code: Load the DLL dynamically using LoadLibraryW. Get function pointers with GetProcAddress. See C++ examples below. API Reference The DLL exports several functions. All string parameters are wide strings (wchar_t*). Results are returned as const wchar_t* strings in formats like {error_code}[results]<error_message> or 1|x|y|w|h|scale|source for successful matches. Core Search Functions const wchar_t* WINAPI ImageSearch(const wchar_t* sImageFile, int iLeft=0, int iTop=0, int iRight=0, int iBottom=0, int iScreen=0, int iTolerance=10, int iResults=1, int iCenterPOS=1, float fMinScale=1.0f, float fMaxScale=1.0f, float fScaleStep=0.1f, int iReturnDebug=0, int iUseCache=0) Searches for image(s) on the screen. sImageFile: Path to target image(s), supports wildcards (e.g., *img*.png). Region: iLeft, iTop, iRight, iBottom (0 for full screen). iScreen: Monitor index (1-based; 0 for primary, negative for virtual). iUseCache: 0=disabled (default), 1=enabled (use persistent cache). Returns: Number of matches followed by details, or error. const wchar_t* WINAPI ImageSearch_InImage(const wchar_t* sSourceImageFile, const wchar_t* sTargetImageFile, int iTolerance=10, int iResults=1, int iCenterPOS=1, float fMinScale=1.0f, float fMaxScale=1.0f, float fScaleStep=0.1f, int iReturnDebug=0, int iUseCache=0) Searches for target image within a source image file. iUseCache: 0=disabled (default), 1=enabled (use persistent cache). const wchar_t* WINAPI ImageSearch_hBitmap(HBITMAP hBitmapSource, HBITMAP hBitmapTarget, int iTolerance, int iLeft, int iTop, int iRight, int iBottom, int iResults=1, int iCenter=1, float fMinScale=1.0f, float fMaxScale=1.0f, float fScaleStep=0.1f, int iReturnDebug=0, int iUseCache=0) Searches using bitmap handles. iUseCache: 0=disabled (default), 1=enabled (use persistent cache). Utility Functions HBITMAP WINAPI ImageSearch_CaptureScreen(int iLeft=0, int iTop=0, int iRight=0, int iBottom=0, int iScreen=0) Captures a screen region as HBITMAP. HBITMAP WINAPI ImageSearch_hBitmapLoad(const wchar_t* sImageFile, int iAlpha=0, int iRed=0, int iGreen=0, int iBlue=0) Loads image as HBITMAP with optional background color. void WINAPI ImageSearch_ClearCache() Clears location and bitmap caches. const wchar_t* WINAPI ImageSearch_GetVersion() Returns DLL version string. const wchar_t* WINAPI ImageSearch_GetSysInfo() Returns system info (CPU features, screen size, cache stats). Mouse Click Functions int WINAPI ImageSearch_MouseMove(int iX, int iY, int iSpeed, int iScreen) Moves mouse cursor to screen coordinates. Returns: 1 on success, 0 on failure. Note: UDF v3.3 uses WinAPI fallback for reliable multi-monitor support. int WINAPI ImageSearch_MouseClick(const wchar_t* sButton, int iX, int iY, int iClicks, int iSpeed, int iScreen) Clicks at screen coordinates. sButton: "left", "right", "middle" (case-insensitive). iX, iY: Virtual desktop coordinates (supports negative values for multi-monitor). iScreen: Monitor index (-1=all, 1=first, 2=second, etc.). Returns: 1 on success, 0 on failure. Note: UDF v3.3 uses WinAPI fallback for reliable multi-monitor support. int WINAPI ImageSearch_MouseClickWin(const wchar_t* sTitle, const wchar_t* sText, int iX, int iY, const wchar_t* sButton, int iClicks, int iSpeed) Clicks relative to a window (found by title/text). Returns: 1 on success, 0 on failure. Usage Examples C++ Example: Basic Screen Search #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> typedef const wchar_t* (WINAPI* PFN_ImageSearch)( const wchar_t*, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, float, float, float, int, int); int main() { // Load DLL HMODULE hDll = LoadLibraryW(L"ImageSearchDLL_x64.dll"); if (!hDll) { std::wcerr << L"Failed to load DLL" << std::endl; return 1; } // Get function pointer auto pImageSearch = (PFN_ImageSearch)GetProcAddress(hDll, "ImageSearch"); if (!pImageSearch) { std::wcerr << L"Failed to get ImageSearch function" << std::endl; FreeLibrary(hDll); return 1; } // Call ImageSearch const wchar_t* result = pImageSearch( L"target.png", // Image path 0, 0, // Left, Top (0 = full screen) 1920, 1080, // Right, Bottom -1, // Screen (-1 = all monitors) 10, // Tolerance 1, // Max results 1, // Center position 1.0f, 1.0f, // Min/Max scale 0.1f, // Scale step 1, // Debug output 0 // Cache disabled ); std::wcout << L"Result: " << result << std::endl; // Parse result: {count}[x|y|w|h,...](debug info) // Example: {1}[640|480|32|32](time=50ms...) FreeLibrary(hDll); return 0; } C++ Example: Image-in-Image Search #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> typedef const wchar_t* (WINAPI* PFN_ImageSearch_InImage)( const wchar_t*, const wchar_t*, int, int, int, float, float, float, int, int); int main() { HMODULE hDll = LoadLibraryW(L"ImageSearchDLL_x64.dll"); if (!hDll) return 1; auto pFunc = (PFN_ImageSearch_InImage)GetProcAddress(hDll, "ImageSearch_InImage"); if (!pFunc) { FreeLibrary(hDll); return 1; } const wchar_t* result = pFunc( L"screenshot.png", // Source image L"button.png", // Target image to find 15, // Tolerance 5, // Max results 1, // Center position 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.1f, // Scale parameters 1, // Debug 0 // Cache ); std::wcout << L"Result: " << result << std::endl; FreeLibrary(hDll); return 0; } C++ Example: HBITMAP Search #include <windows.h> #include <iostream> #include <gdiplus.h> typedef const wchar_t* (WINAPI* PFN_ImageSearch_hBitmap)( HBITMAP, HBITMAP, int, int, int, int, int, int, int, float, float, float, int, int); int main() { HMODULE hDll = LoadLibraryW(L"ImageSearchDLL_x64.dll"); if (!hDll) return 1; auto pFunc = (PFN_ImageSearch_hBitmap)GetProcAddress(hDll, "ImageSearch_hBitmap"); if (!pFunc) { FreeLibrary(hDll); return 1; } // Load bitmaps (pseudo-code, use GDI+ or other methods) HBITMAP hSource = LoadBitmapFromFile(L"screenshot.bmp"); HBITMAP hTarget = LoadBitmapFromFile(L"icon.bmp"); const wchar_t* result = pFunc( hSource, hTarget, // Source and target bitmaps 10, // Tolerance 0, 0, 0, 0, // Search region (0 = entire source) 1, // Max results 1, // Center position 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.1f, // Scale 1, // Debug 0 // Cache ); std::wcout << L"Result: " << result << std::endl; DeleteObject(hSource); DeleteObject(hTarget); FreeLibrary(hDll); return 0; } Result Format Results start with {code} for errors (e.g., {-1}[]<Invalid path or image format>). Positive numbers indicate match count. Performance Tips Search Performance Enable Caching: Set iUseCache=1 for repeated searches (30-50% faster) Cache Benefits: In-memory cache: Instant lookup for recent searches Disk cache: Persists across DLL reloads Auto-validation: Removes stale entries after 3 misses Adjust Tolerance: Higher tolerance = faster but less accurate Scale Steps: Larger steps = faster but may miss matches SIMD Support: On x64, ensure AVX2/AVX512 for best performance Memory Pool: Automatic optimization, no manual tuning needed Multi-Monitor Setup Specific Monitor Search: Use iScreen=1 or iScreen=2 for 2-3x faster search Virtual Desktop: Use iScreen=-1 to search across all monitors Coordinate System: DLL returns virtual desktop coordinates (may be negative) Mouse Operations: Use UDF v3.3 for reliable mouse movement/clicking on all monitors Limitations DLL Limitations Max results: 1024 Image size limit: 32000x32000 pixels Max pixel count: 100M pixels per image Cache limits: 100 locations, 100 bitmaps (LRU eviction) Thread-safe but single DLL instance recommended per process Known Issues (DLL v3.3) Mouse Functions: DLL mouse functions may not work reliably on multi-monitor setups Solution: Use UDF v3.3 which provides WinAPI-based fallback Impact: Mouse operations now 100% reliable on all monitor configurations Negative Coordinates: DLL returns negative coords for monitors positioned left/above primary Solution: UDF v3.3 handles this correctly with SetCursorPos Related Documentation README_UDF.md - AutoIt wrapper documentation with examples ImageSearchDLL_UDF.au3 - AutoIt wrapper source code ImageSearchDLL_TestSuite.au3 - Interactive GUI test application Contributing & Support For issues, contributions, or commercial licensing: Website: TRONG.PRO Email: trong@email.com For AutoIt users: See README_UDF.md for easy-to-use wrapper functions and AutoIt examples.

Encryption / Decryption / Hashing / Signing Purpose Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) is Microsoft's long-term replacement for their CryptoAPI. Microsoft's CNG is designed to be extensible at many levels and cryptography agnostic in behavior. Although the Crypt.au3 UDF lib that is installed with AutoIt3 still works well, the advapi32.dll functions that it uses have been deprecated. In addition the Crypt.au3 UDF lib, as it is currently written, has a very limited ability to decrypt AES data that was not encrypted using Crypt.au3 functions. That is because Crypt.au3 functions do not allow you to specify an actual key or initialization vector (IV). It only lets you specify data to be used to derive a key and uses a static IV. This UDF was created to offer a replacement for the deprecated functions used by Crypt.au3. According to Microsoft, deprecated functions may be removed in future release. It was also created to allow more flexibility and functionality in encryption/decryption/hashing/signing and to expand the ability for users to implement cryptography in their scripts. Description This UDF implements some of Microsoft's Cryptography API: Next Generation (CNG) Win32 API functions. It implements functions to encrypt/decrypt text and files, generate hashes, derive keys using Password-Based Key Derivation Function 2 (PBKDF2), create and verify signatures, and has several cryptography-related helper functions. The UDF can implement any encryption/decryption algorithms and hashing algorithms that are supported by the installed cryptography providers on the PC in which it is running. Most, if not all, of the "magic number" values that you would commonly use to specify that desired algorithms, key bit lengths, and other magic number type values, are already defined as constants or enums in the UDF file. To flatten the learning curve, there is an example file that shows examples of all of the major functionality. This example file is not created to be an exhaustive set of how to implement each feature and parameter. It is designed to give you a template or guide to help you hit the ground running in terms of using the functions. I have tried to fully document the headers of all of the functions as well as the code within the functions themselves. As of v1.4.0, there is also a Help file that includes all of the functions, with examples.

The attached zPlayer.exe was compiled in x64 mode and is not flagged by Windows Defender as malicious. Compiling to x86 may result in false positive flags by Windows Defender. Feedback If you find an error, please download the latest version, as it may already be corrected. Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you could kindly let me know. zPlayer-NoUI.au3 The download section includes zPlayer-NoUI.au3. This is an abbreviated version of zPlayer, which is a music player controlled by hotkeys only, without a GUI. Note: zPlayer was tested to work in Windows 10 and 11. It should work in Windows 7, too. I would like to know if there is any compatibility problem.

On one/multiple big sheet(s) you get users (columns) and groups (rows). The list is sorted descending by number of members so you get the users with most groups and the groups with most members on top of the page. You can filter by (multiple) samaccountname(s), department or you can create your own LDAP query filter. You can filter the resulting list of groups using a Regular Expression. Version 2.0 uses maps so at the moment it requires the latest beta version of AutoIt! BTW: If you like this tool please click the "I like this" button. This tells me where to next put my development effort
