Check every 10sec _ImageSearch()

[Zag8888]

Hi, I want to check every 10 seconds (using _ImageSearch) If the image is found.  I hope someone can help me, thanks!

#include <_ImageSearch.au3>
#include <_ImageSearch_Debug.au3>
$Image = _ImageSearch("Seach_2.bmp",10,True)


While $Image[0] <> 1 ;The script just sleep, instead of checking every 10 seconds.
   Sleep(10000)
WEnd

Your imagesearch needs to be inside the loop, it only checks it once before going into the loop as written.

Now it works! But the while loop will not end also if the image is found...

You know that every functions returns some indication telling you that the function endet successfully or that an error occurred? Depending on this indication you have to check for the image again or leave the loop.
The rest is pure AutoIt

Why do you need to search for an image every 10 seconds? why not just hook into the control and get it's state?

Only if you are willing to share what you are doing exactly or else it is guess work.

That's the full code, I just want to try this function, because for me it never worked.

 You are lucky that I have seen your topic !

=======

First of all, you shouldn't use the ordinary image search function...as it is not good because it requires that the image appears on the screen, so you can't do any other thing while the script is running

,so you need  the ~:{:}{ImageSearchEX}{:}:~ function

by it,you can search for the image in a specific window...and the function don't require that the image appears on the screen >> only it should appear on the window

,so this function run in the background

=======

Image Search EX Topic  : https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/196542-image-search-inactive-window-but-not-minimized/

=======

note that :

1 : This function doesn't run on X64 bit ,so you have to make the script run on 32 bit by using :

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=NO

2 : This function requires the window to be shown ,not minimized or hidden.

,so if you want to hide the window  : just move it to (-X , -Y) Position that is out of the screen

======

Eventually : Here is the code you need :

#NoTrayIcon
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=NO
#include <imageSearchEX.au3>

Global $imageSearchEX = imageSearchEX
Global $_Check_Image  = _Check_Image

$Your_Window = "";your window
$Your_Control = "";your Control
$Your_Image = "";your Image

While 1
$Coords = $_Check_Image($Your_Window,$Your_Control,$Your_Image)
If $Coords <> 0 Then
    ;Do Something
    ExitLoop
EndIf
Sleep(10000) ;Sleep 10 Seconds
WEnd


Func _Check_Image($Window, $Control, $Image)
$Hwnd = WinGetHandle($Window)
$Control_Pos = ControlGetPos($Hwnd,$Control)
$Coords = $imageSearchEX($Hwnd,$Image)
Return $Coords
EndFunc

Sorry,the code is not complete ..i didn't revise it 🤒

Also, there is no (Edit) Button 🙄

Here it is :

#NoTrayIcon
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=NO
#include <imageSearchEX.au3>

Global $imageSearchEX = imageSearchEX
Global $_Check_Image  = _Check_Image

$Your_Window = "";your window
$Your_Control = "";your Control
$Your_Image = "";your Image

While 1
$Coords = $_Check_Image($Your_Window,$Your_Control,$Your_Image)
If $Coords <> 0 Then
    ;Do Something
    ExitLoop
EndIf
Sleep(10000) ;Sleep 10 Seconds
WEnd


Func _Check_Image($Window, $Control, $Image)
$Hwnd = WinGetHandle($Window)
$Control_Pos = ControlGetPos($Hwnd,$Control)
$Coords = $imageSearchEX($Hwnd,$Image)
$Result = $Coords
If $Coords <> 0 Then
    Local $Image_Pos[] = [ $Coords[0] - $Control_Pos[0], $Coords[1] - $Control_Pos[1] ]
    $Result = $Image_Pos
EndIf
Return $Result
EndFunc

I am just helping him, which is not against forum rules!. 

[El-Masry]

Also, I have suffered from his problem.. And that took many time and effort of search.. Because no one helped me 😒💔

[Jos]

Ah ... the victim role.  I am not shedding any tears as you know that you were not banned because nobody helped you.
You will be on a very short leece so 1 single "mistake" will get you banned.
