Howdy fellow nerds (I may be speaking for myself here, said my Dad),

I got annoyed when looking at a website and I wanted to know what that cool green colour under my mouse was and if my friends were programming games for bots, and I was the only one with access to the game, they would ask me what the colour was and I had to take a screenshot, then find the colour exactly.

Well frankly, its easier to make this than to do that all the f**kin time (Excuse my language, I'm an English Teenager!)

I made this with a little bonus, which I decided to add when I couldn't see the colours, and I thought my script had broken.

If your mouse is over a black colour then the label with the RGB code turns white and if your over white then the label turns black!

*Applauds*, thankyou, thankyou.

Anyways, without further adew here it is:

Press ESC to escape and Shift+F3 to put the current colour which is under the mouse to the clipboard!

i feel this is a bit over complicated.

simplefyed version

#include <Misc.au3>
#NoTrayIcon
;include misc for the _ispressed fucntion

$gui = GUICreate("",100,20,-1,-1,0x80000000+0x00400000,0x00000008+0x00000080)
$label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("",10,5,80,15,-1,0x00100000)
GUISetState()
$oldcolor = 0
$pause = 0
while 1
    if _IsPressed("1B") then ExitLoop
    if _IsPressed("13") and $pause = 0 Then
        while _IsPressed("13")
            $pause = 1
            sleep(1)
        WEnd
    elseif _IsPressed("13") and $pause = 1 Then
        while _IsPressed("13")
            $pause = 0
            sleep(1)
        WEnd
    EndIf
    $pos = MouseGetPos()
    $color = PixelGetColor($pos[0],$pos[1])
    if $color <> $oldcolor and $pause = 0 then
        GUISetBkColor(Execute("0x" &Hex($color,6)))
        GUICtrlSetData($label,"0x" & Hex($color,6))
        GUICtrlSetColor($label,"0x" & Hex(16777215-$color,6))
        $oldcolor = $color
    EndIf
    sleep(10)
WEnd

to freeze the gui press the break button and esc to exit

ok thats a lot simplier but Secure's shows a lot more info.

I can do signature me.

Nice, thanks :)

its a nice program indeed, but what advantages does it have over other programs out there?

Interpreters have great power!Although they live in the shadow of compiled programming languages an interpreter can do anything that a compiled language can do, you just have to code it right.

Since this topic has been bumped then how about this modification? I think it achieves the same result but in fewer steps. What do you think?

        ConsoleWrite( "Colour: " & $hexcolor & " was added to your clipboard!" & @CRLF )
    EndIf
Until _IsPressed( $ESC , $DLL )

DllClose( $DLL )

Exit

edit: code format

Well, how well are the _timer_init() and _timer_diff() functions for timing the execution speed of code? If they are useful then I think I got from the original execution of 0.6 sec to 0.1 sec.

OK, I just now saw that AutoIt has a time output in its output pane! Duh!

The time that it takes my modification to find the color of one pixel is 0.101

The original takes 0.666.

I have made more modifications to the code.

#cs

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Color.au3>

Global $hexcolor = 0

Local $GUI = GUICreate( "Test" , 175 , 50 , @DesktopWidth / 2 * 1.66 , @DesktopHeight / 4 * 3.50 , $WS_POPUP , $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW )
Local $cLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel( "" , 5 , 5 , 105 , 45 )

WinSetOnTop( $GUI , "" , 1 )
GUISetState( @SW_SHOW )

;~ Do  ; I commented these lines out in order to find the execution time of one pixel.
;~     Sleep( 10 )
    
    $Color = PixelGetColor( MouseGetPos( 0 ) , MouseGetPos( 1 ) )
    
    $hexcolor = Hex(   _ColorGetRed( $Color ) , 2 ) & _
                Hex( _ColorGetGreen( $Color ) , 2 ) & _
                Hex(  _ColorGetBlue( $Color ) , 2 ) 
                
    GUICtrlSetData( $cLabel , "#" & $hexcolor & @CR & "Format: RGB" & @CR & "Press ESC to escape!" )
    
    If $Color = $black Then     
        GUICtrlSetColor( $cLabel , $white ) 
    Else        
        GUICtrlSetColor( $cLabel , $black ) 
    EndIf       
    
    GUISetBkColor( $Color , $GUI )
;~ Until _IsPressed( $ESC , $DLL )
    
If _IsPressed( $F3 , $DLL ) Then
    ClipPut( $hexcolor )
    ConsoleWrite( "Colour: " & $hexcolor & " was added to your clipboard!" & @CRLF )
EndIf

DllClose( $DLL )

Exit

Keep in mind that I not trying to outcode the original poster. I only want to learn as much about AutoIt as possible by using trial and error.
