Hello,

i need help with my script here.

I want to detect when my Screen is nearly or completly dark/black.

I'm using PixelChecksum(0,0,1919,1079) and it's giving me random numbers (e.g. 2690216355, 2589900821, 854331631, 481460664)

How can i compare that with a Black like 0xFFFFFF ?

The number you're getting is base 10, the number you're comparing it to is base 16 (Hex). You can directly compare them, as they are converted when compared to be the same base. BTW, black is 0x000000, not 0xFFFFFF that is bright white.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
