ImageSearch Library - Error while trying to search an image - (Moved)

[Prateek]

Hi,

I am New to AutoIT, trying to accomplish a simple task where an image is required to be searched on a web page.

My Code - 

$rectHWND = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
$rectPos = WinGetPos($rectHWND) ;
$found = _ImageSearchArea("example.bmp", 1, $rectPos[0], $rectPos[1], $rectPos[2], $rectPos[3], $x, $y, 100)
msgbox(0,'','the line ' & ' is ' & $found)

If $found = 1 Then
    MouseMove($x,$y, 10)
EndIf

Looks like you are missing the DllCall in the line.

Hi,

I have kept ImageSearch.au3 in "C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include"

And have kept ImageSearchDLL.dll in "C:\Windows\System32"

Also my code and example.bmp are in same folder.

My script is just 

$rectHWND = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
$rectPos = WinGetPos($rectHWND) ;
$found = _ImageSearchArea("example.bmp", 1, $rectPos[0], $rectPos[1], $rectPos[2], $rectPos[3], $x, $y, 100)

If $found = 1 Then
    MouseMove($x,$y, 10)
EndIf

 

Now where shall i put DllCall

On the line in the function _ImageSearchArea where you previously showed the error.

[Prateek]

Thanks, somehow it got deleted by only .....

I added it back there - 

If IsString($findImage) Then
    $result = DllCall("ImageSearchDLL.dll","str","ImageSearch","int",$x1,"int",$y1,"int",$right,"int",$bottom,"str",$findImage,"ptr",$HBMP)
Else
    $result = DllCall("ImageSearchDLL.dll","str","ImageSearch","int",$x1,"int",$y1,"int",$right,"int",$bottom,"ptr",$findImage,"ptr",$HBMP)
EndIf

 

Now i am not getting any output - I just changed my code a bit - Kindly look into it - 

Func checkForImage()
Local $search = _ImageSearch('example.bmp', 0, $x, $y, 0)

If $search = 1 Then
MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
EndIf
EndFunc

No idea. There may be a better way to accomplish your goal. What website are you trying to automate?

[Prateek]

This is just an internal web portal where reports are generated and are stored. Now there is this one excel icon coming on the top right of that website. There is no name or text , just an icon , looks like excel icon...I am attaching it as well. Now since there is no name, nothing, just this image and on clicking it report gets downloaded onto the system, so i am trying to automate this task...all other steps have been accomplished but i am not able to click this image....

 

My complete Code

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

WinActivate("Web Portal - IE Explorer - Citrix Platform")
WinWaitActive("Web Portal - IE Explorer - Citrix Platform")
HotKeySet("p", "checkForImage")

global $y = 0, $x = 0

Func checkForImage()
Local $search = _ImageSearch('example.bmp', 0, $x, $y, 0)

If $search = 1 Then
MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
EndIf
EndFunc

 

example.bmp

Should be able to automate that without resorting to image search. Can you show us the HTML related to this image?

[Prateek]

It is inside Citrix platform, i am not able to fetch its html copy, i am restricted user.....

[Danp2]

Have you checked with the browser's Developer Tools?

[Prateek]

Yes, the portal is on another server.... i m just firing an API....to run my results

Hi Melba,

Can you please help me here? Why is this not working?

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

WinActivate("Web Portal - IE Explorer - Citrix Platform")
WinWaitActive("Web Portal - IE Explorer - Citrix Platform")
HotKeySet("p", "checkForImage")

global $y = 0, $x = 0

Func checkForImage()
Local $search = _ImageSearch('example.bmp', 0, $x, $y, 0)

If $search = 1 Then
MouseMove($x, $y, 10)
EndIf
EndFunc

1. Download ImageSearch LIB from here: 

 

2. Use this code

#include "_ImageSearch.au3"
#include "_ImageSearch_Debug.au3"

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "_Exit")
Func _Exit()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>_Exit

Global $_Image_1 = @ScriptDir & "\example.bmp"

;first, use this function to create a file bmp, maybe a desktop icon for example')
_ImageSearch_Create_BMP($_Image_1)

While 1
    Local $rectHWND = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]")
    Local $rectPos = WinGetPos($rectHWND)
    If @error Then ContinueLoop
    Local $found = _ImageSearch_Area($_Image_1, $rectPos[0], $rectPos[1], $rectPos[2], $rectPos[3], 100, 1)
    If $found[0] = 1 Then
        MsgBox(0, 'Success', 'Image found:' & " X=" & $found[1] & " Y=" & $found[2] & @CRLF & $_Image_1)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite('Image not found. Searching..' & @CRLF)
    EndIf
    Sleep(200)
WEnd
