Problem with PixelGetColor

[michu]

Hello everyone

I have problem with my simple script. When at position (1743,511) on second page is red color I wan't to left click next button to third page and back to first page by pressing 2 times Escape,  otherwise it should back to the first page and try over and over again as soon as there will be red color on second page. For now script doesn't work, I don't know why. It's looks like function PixelGetColor doesn't work.

Thanks in advance for help

HotKeySet("{Space}", "Terminate")
While 1
   MouseClick("left", 1826 ,1013, 1, 100) ;it's next button on first page
   $var = PixelGetColor (1743,511)
If $var = 0xFF0000 Then
   MouseClick("left", 1743, 511, 1, 100) ;it's next button on second page
   Send("{ESC 1}")
   Sleep(500)
   Send("{ESC 1}")
   Sleep(500)
Else
   Send("{ESC 1}") ;back to the first page
   Sleep(1500)
 EndIf
Sleep(500)
WEnd
Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

michu,

Welcome to the AutoIt forums.

It's looks like function PixelGetColor doesn't work

 I am sure it is more likely to be your code. That code snippet will act extremely quickly - are you sure that the "page" will have changed by the time you look for the "red" section and then click on one of the buttons? If the page has not yet correctly loaded then obviously none of the actions will happen on the "page" you think you are using.

So how can you tell if the page has indeed changed? What allows you to confirm that the "red" section might be present and that he buttons are ready to be pressed? Once you can confirm that the "page" is correctly loaded, then you can start looking and actioning it.

Typo

When I increase times to seconds and the second page load with not red color long time before cursor is in position (1743,511) the script press next button. Maybe I should declare 2 colours? The second page is only in two colours - red and white. 

Red> go to next page and then press 2 times escape button

White> back to first page by pressing one time escape button and try again

michu,

Without sight of the "pages" it is hard to say whether your idea is a good one. But it seems that as I suspected timing was the major problem in your earlier script - I am sure you can come up with a solution now.

Thank you, I will try with 

WaitPixelColor

function

There is no waitpixelcolor. You need to add some lines of sleep in there to allow the page to change.

While 1
    MouseClick("",1826,1013,1,100);100 is pretty slow for the mouse move.
    Sleep(3000);sleep for 3 seconds to let the page load
    $var - PixelGetColor(1743,511)
    If $Var == 0xFF0000 Then
        MouseClick("",1743,511,1,100)
        Sleep(250)
        Send("{ESC}")
        Sleep(250)
        Send("{ESC}")
    Else
        Send("{ESC}")
        Sleep(1.5 * 1000);sleep for 1.5 seconds
    EndIf
Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc
