Can i use ImageSearch in minimized window ?

I try to use ImageSearch with ControlSend but it cannot run in minimized window.

I use it with Bluestack program.

 

This is my code :

#include <ImageSearch.au3>
;create variable
Global $GameHD

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "stop")

Func stop()
ToolTip('Stop Process', 0, 0)
Sleep(500)
Exit
EndFunc

; Searching Games Windows
Func _PSsixLoadH($gtitle)
$GameHD = WinGetHandle($gtitle)
If @error Then
MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Game Windows not appear")
Exit
Else
Return 1
EndIf
EndFunc


If _PSsixLoadH("BlueStacks App Player") Then WinActivate($GameHD)

While 1
        $res = _imagesearch('image.bmp',1,$x,$y,0)
    If ($res = 1 And $i = 0 ) Then
        ControlSend($GameHD, "", "", "G")
        Sleep(2000)
    EndIf
WEnd

This is ImageSearch code :

No when the image you searching isn't on screen ImageSearch could find it because there is no image.
