Dsmoeg999 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Hi guys I am trying to see the color of an inactive or minimized window. I have opened Paint and drawn a circle and colored the inside red. I am using PixelSearch which I understand is for the active window that is to say when it is open it finds the color perfectly but when I minimize it or cover the color it does not see it anymore. Can anyone guide me with any method or way to do this? This is what I have tried $hWnd = WinGetHandle("MSPaintApp") PixelSearch ( 820, 361, 820, 361, 0xEC1C24,1,$hwnd ) If not(@error) Then MsgBox(0,"Information","I can see the color") Else MsgBox(0,"Information","Color not found") EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Could you show me a picture of the real application you are trying to automate ? I'll see if I got a solution for you then...Thanks. “They did not know it was impossible, so they did it” ― Mark Twain Spoiler Block all input without UAC Save/Retrieve Images to/from Text Monitor Management (VCP commands) Tool to search in text (au3) files Date Range Picker Virtual Desktop Manager Sudoku Game 2020 Overlapped Named Pipe IPC HotString 2.0 - Hot keys with string x64 Bitwise Operations Multi-keyboards HotKeySet Recursive Array Display Fast and simple WCD IPC Multiple Folders Selector Printer Manager GIF Animation (cached) Screen Scraping Multi-Threading Made Easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
636C65616E Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) PixelSearch will search based on what is rendered (basically, what is visible on your screen). A minimized window isn't rendered ... Edited April 9, 2023 by 636C65616E Dsmoeg999 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
