Today, I will share my work with image search in inactive windows (windows that run in the background) with tolerances (variations). After a long time of searching and using image search UDF on the internet. I combined all of that with my experienced and created a UDF name HandleImgSearch. I have embedded the .dll file in this script so it doesn't need any external files, just include it and run. However, this UDF uses a pure AutoIT loop to make the multiple positions returned work so it may be slower if you set the $MaxImg to a high number. Some highlights: Very fast with imagesearchdll embedded, no external files required. Tolerances and Max Images are supported. Optimized. Use with a handle or full screen easily. Included global functions, so you can run multiple functions in one capture. Examples used for testing included. Notes: Only used to compile to 32-bit AutoIt version (It can completely run on Windows 64-bit) The image used for searching should be in a "24-bit Bitmap" format. I included the $IsUser32 variable in some places like _GlobalImgInit, _HandleCapture. This variable allowed you to use DllCall with the "PrintWindow" parameter instead of _WinAPI_BitBlt with $SRCCOPY. $IsUser32 = True is useful for the window explorer handle, $IsUser32 = False is useful for the emulator handle (NoxPlayer handle example included). If hwnd parameter equals "", it will use the whole screen instead. Functions: Global Functions: Run multiple functions with one capture. _GlobalImgInit: Initialization variables. _GlobalImgCapture: Capture the handle. _GlobalGetBitmap: Get captured bitmap handle. _GlobalImgSearch: This is the main function of this UDF. _GlobalGetPixel: Get pixel color in the captured image. _GlobalPixelCompare: Compare pixel color with captured image pixel color. Handle Functions: Capture every time. _HandleImgSearch: This is the main function of this UDF. Search for images in the handle of the window with the tolerance and maximum image options. _BmpImgSearch: Search the picture in the picture instead of the handle. _HandleGetPixel: Get pixel in the handle image. _HandlePixelCompare: Compare color with pixel color of handle image. _HandleCapture: Capture handle screen.
