PixelGetColor problem

[akroon]

Hi all i have a problem with function pixelgetcolor. This is the code.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>#include <ColorConstants.au3>#include <WindowsConstants.au3>#include <GUIConstants.au3>#include <GuiEdit.au3>#include <File.au3>#include <INet.au3>#include <Color.au3>AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 2)GUICreate("My program",305,305)$pcheckinput=GUICtrlCreateInput("0 0 0000000",80,210,120,20)$colortaked=GUICtrlCreateGraphic(205,210,20,20)$handle = WinGetHandle("My program")If @error Then    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find program") ExitElse    MsgBox(0,"Success","program find successfully")EndIfGUISetState(@SW_SHOW)MsgBox(0,"Point checker","move mouse at the point and wait, the window will close in 5 seconds",5)$xy=MouseGetPos()GUICtrlSetData($pcheckinput,$xy[0]&" "&$xy[1]&" ")$xy=PixelGetColor($xy[0],$xy[1],$handle)GUICtrlSetData($pcheckinput,$xy,1)GUICtrlSetBkColor($colortaked,$xy)

The problem is that: the function pixelgetcolor don't return the pixelcolor of the window of "My program". This program is another program (not the program i'm running for check pixelcolor). How can solve this problem?

Thanx.

I tested your code and from what I understood, it worked just fine!

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ColorConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <INet.au3>
#include <Color.au3>
AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode", 2)
GUICreate("My program",305,305)
$pcheckinput=GUICtrlCreateInput("0 0 0000000",80,210,120,20)
$colortaked=GUICtrlCreateGraphic(205,210,20,20)
$handle = WinGetHandle("My program")
If @error Then    
   MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find program")
   Exit
Else    
   MsgBox(0,"Success","program find successfully")
   EndIf
   GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
   MsgBox(0,"Point checker","move mouse at the point and wait, the window will close in 5 seconds",5)
   $xy=MouseGetPos()
   GUICtrlSetData($pcheckinput,$xy[0]&" "&$xy[1]&" ")
   $xy=PixelGetColor($xy[0],$xy[1],$handle)
   GUICtrlSetData($pcheckinput,$xy,1)
   GUICtrlSetBkColor($colortaked,$xy)
   MsgBox(1,"",$handle)

Are you running the "Program" in a web browser?

No the "program" is .exe

Are you sure the color it get is correct? I get wrong color. You will see the color getted in guigraphich.

In order to get help, you need to clearly define the problem. More specificly this part:

"The problem is that: the function pixelgetcolor don't return the pixelcolor of the window of "My program". This program is another program (not the program i'm running for check pixelcolor). How can solve this problem?
Thanx."

You also need to describe what the problem really is: what result did you get - and what did you expect to get?

From the function pixelgetcolor i get the color of desktop and not of the program.

Sorry for my english

[Damein]

Are you by chance trying to pull the color from a 3D app?

That's what I get when I use the script you provided, I pointed at the light blue color in the "au3" word.

[JohnOne]

Look at setting pixelcoordmode as well as mousecoordmode.

No, it isn't

Try to use other little programm (like 500x500) maybe you get the right value becuase the browser is full screen. 

Look at setting pixelcoordmode as well as mousecoordmode.

 

This is a good solution but i don't understand why adding handle variable at function doesn't work 

Anyway i want get the pixel color while the window are not active. With AutoItSetOption i can only get the thinks of active windows. I really want solve this problem with PixelGetColour because it's the best way for my program. Maybe i add somenthink wrong at variable $handle ??

Please help me.

So you want to get the colour of a pixel in a window that is not visible on the screen?

No, the windows is on the screen but is not active ("selected")

[JohnOne]

I have no idea why that parameter is there, all I know is that to get a pixel color relative to a window, you must set PixelCoordMode.

What is the problem you have exactly, with that?

[akroon]

Ok i try to explain better. I have this "program" working at the corner of the screen, so i want get pixelcolor while the autoitprogram is working on another program. If you don't understand i can make some screenshot for show the situation.

[Melba23]

akroon,

 

i can make some screenshot for show the situation

An excellent idea!

[JohnOne]

OK, I remember now, the handle parameter is used for the exact reason you need to set pixelcoordmode, so it knows which window to use when that mode is set to 0 or 2.

[akroon]

Here's the screenshot

I want just this: the pixelgetcolor will work on the window not depending of its position ( i want be free to put where i want on the screen so can't use desktop mode)

Seeing you want to work with a webpage - you can use the IE controls built into AutoIt and do what you want with IE.

 

No the "program" is .exe

 

Seeing you say that above when I asked you if the app was a web based application and you show a screenshot of a web browser later - that tells me you are really trying to NOT say what the name of the application is.

Cut the bullshit. What is the name of the application? So far you are wasting our time with your refusal to be straight with us.
