coordinate color variable dont work if it is set as variable!

[Daka]

I find it very weird:
if I run like this:
     Local $aCoord = PixelSearch($posX, $posY, $sizeX, $sizeY, '0xFF455E')

works fine!

If I run like this:
    Local $metaColor1 = '0xFF455E' or like this Local $metaColor1 = "0xFF455E" or Local $metaColor1 = "'0xFF455E'"
    Local $aCoord = PixelSearch($posX, $posY, $sizeX, $sizeY, $color)

it doesn't want to work! So something with variable is not working and yes if I print it out like this:
ConsoleWrite(@LF & $posX & ":"& $posY & ":"& $sizeX & ":" & $sizeY & ":" & $color&@LF)
771:80:833:151:0xFF455E

So I dont see the problem, maybe some of you people?

Maybe you should use $metaColor1 instead of $color in the PixelSearch?

If that was a typo, then try it without the quotes, because it's a number not a string.

[Daka]

I was hoping for typo, but it is not. Next code calls function:

Local $metaColor1 = 0xFF455E
   ;check if meta therapy button is availible, visible?
   If ControlCommand("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", "", "[CLASS:"& $btn_meta_class &"; INSTANCE:"& $btn_meta_instance &"]", "IsVisible", "") Then
      dump("$btn_metaVisible is visible"&@LF)
      $btn_metaVisible = True
      ;if meta therapy button visable, then check if meta therapy button is green and red if good connection is with headphone
      $image_path = "images\meta-therapy-green-red.bmp"
      $text = "meta therapy button not green"
      ;dump("this is text"& $text & @LF)
      $buttonActivated1 = ifButtonActivated("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", $btn_meta_class, $btn_meta_instance, $metaColor1, False, True, $image_path, $text)
      dump("Activated meta button: " & $buttonActivated1)

And in that function, I call: PixelSearch and if I set the sting in this function like:
$metaColor1 = 0xFF455E and set that then it works, but if I set it before when calling function it doens not wont to work. This is weird. And if I Consolewrite it, string (number) is there

Func ifButtonActivated($window, $button, $instance, $metaButtonColor, $click = True, $msgBoxShow = True, $image_path = False, $text = False, $litoPhyto = False)
   ConsoleWrite(@LF & "function ifButtonActivated: " & @LF)
   ConsoleWrite("$window:" & $window &" $button: "& $button &" $instance: "& $instance &" $color: "& $metaButtonColor &@LF)
   ConsoleWrite('$image_path: '& $image_path & @LF)
   Local $buttonActivated = False
   Local $buttonCanceled = False
   Local $buttonNotActivated = False
   ;because even if you bioconnector is inbetween time connected the red button will not appear
   ;so we need to loop again
   Local $litoPhytoActivated = False
   ConsoleWrite($window & @LF)
   ConsoleWrite($button & @LF)
   ConsoleWrite($instance & @LF)

         $aPos = ControlGetPos($window, "", "[CLASS:"& $button &"; INSTANCE:"& $instance &"]")
     ConsoleWrite("$aPos[2]" & $aPos[2] & @LF)
     ConsoleWrite("$aPos[3]" & $aPos[3] & @LF)
         $sizeX = $aPos[0] + $aPos[2] + 72
         $sizeY = $aPos[1] + $aPos[3]
     $posX = $aPos[0] + 72
     $posY = $aPos[1]


         ConsoleWrite("$posX:" & $posX & "$posY:" & $posY & "$sizeX" & $sizeX & "$sizeY:" & $sizeY & "$color" & $metaButtonColor &@LF)

         ; Find a pure red pixel in the range 0,0-20,300
     ConsoleWrite(@LF & $posX & ":"& $posY & ":"& $sizeX & ":" & $sizeY & ":" & $metaButtonColor&@LF)

     ConsoleWrite($metaButtonColor& @LF)
     ConsoleWrite(Int($metaButtonColor)& @LF)
         ;Local $aCoord = PixelSearch($posX, $posY, $sizeX, $sizeY, $color)
     $metaColor1 = 0xFF455E
     ConsoleWrite($metaColor1& @LF)
     ConsoleWrite(Int($metaColor1)& @LF)
     Local $aCoord = PixelSearch($posX, $posY, $sizeX, $sizeY, $metaButtonColor)

This is very weird, if I pass it to function the number is there, but Pixelcoordinate dont want to accept it!

How can I see what really get the pixelcoord? Because if I print out the string it is there!

[Daka]

I did also like set direct to function the string:
 

$buttonActivated1 = ifButtonActivated("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", $btn_meta_class, $btn_meta_instance, 0xFF455E, False, True, $image_path, $text)

or

$buttonActivated1 = ifButtonActivated("[CLASS:TFormResearchGR]", $btn_meta_class, $btn_meta_instance, Int(0xFF455E), False, True, $image_path, $text)

I find it very weird

[Daka]

O now I found somewhere i overwritten then

from function metacolor:16733290
from function metacolor:16733290
local metacolor:16729438
local metacolor with int:16729438

 

[Daka]

if I set it as Global then it works perfect, but hen I dont pass it to function.

But I can't let go how can it be that passing it to function gives different results, this is not possible!

Understand you like to understand why, but it would help when you post some sort of script that is runable and demonstrating the issue.

Also, it looks like you are trying to check a control. You may be able to get the control state and keep things much simpler.
