Image Search Library

[ProgAndy]

Hey. Great library. I just made some chages, so i can search any HBitmap, too ( _WinAPI_LoadImage, _GDIPlus_BitmapCreateHBITMAPFromBitmap)

ImageSearch.zip (659.4K) Number of downloads:

//Edit: added speedshare mirror as requested by mortelrdv: http://www.speedshare.org/download.php?id=5B284B0413

Now it is here: Download for mod

Hello! Any idea on how this works while looking for an image? I'm experiencing difficulties while looking for a certain cursor image.Does it look at the cursor while searching or behind it only?Thanks!

[ProgAndy]

No, i don't know, how this works...

but i think, it looks behind the cursor (like _ScreenCapture_Capture, where the cursor is only added if you want it)

//Edit: so you could use _ScreenCapture_Capture with the modified dll and the cursor would be there)

Yes, I guess I could do that, but it would probably be too slow for my purpose.I need to look for an object in an area.And the object is dynamic, its graphic changes, so the only way to look for it in an area is move the cursor and look at its shape, because it changes shape while over that object.Capturing the image, saving it, and looking through that image for every let's say 5 pixels in a pretty large area would probably take too long...Maybe there's a different way I could look for the cursor though...

Anyway, thanks for the fast answer!

Hello

Can you put ImageSearch.zip somewhere other than http://trashbin.nfshost.com ? because i can't get it.

Thank

I've been working with ImageSearch for a few days on a project and thus far I've had great success until I tried to make it find a small image on a side monitor. It seems that imagesearch by default only searches on the primary monitor. Is there a way to expand it to look on all monitors?

Thanks.

Hello! Came across an issue with imagesearcharea().It seems that even though I specify a search rectangle, it still looks at the whole screen, or at least at the full part of the screen that's to the right and down of the screen starting from the initial coordinates.Any ideas why?

Thanks!

I have got error :

!>13:53:19 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:-1073741819

on example code. Any solution ?

EDIT: Yay didn't change dll file. Sorry

EDIT2: Script is working fine! Great job for me.... But it would be brilliant if it could return array of all items found with ...coords of course. .

Hi there

Well I have an issue and I was wondering if any of you had ideas or answers.

Let me explain you. I've been using ImageSearch.au3 UDF and it works like a charm on my Windows XP. However the script I made is for someone under Vista and I suspect this is the problem here since for her it simply doesn't work (from what I understood the script doesn't even start).

So here are my thinkings, is there anything to do to make an autoit script compatible with Vista (I don't have Vista and don't even own a copy so I can't test :-( ) or is due to the ImageSearchDLL.dll not working on Vista ? and any idea how to make this work on Vista? the question has been asked in the thread but no answer yet

Thank you!

Hallo,

I use the ImageSearch function ang it works

But I want use the ImageSearchDLL.dll for my Pythonproject and in this case i must register the dll. I try to register this file with the regsvr32 command but i get the error: "ImageSearchDLL.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found. This file can not be registered."

It is possible that the author of the dll file modify this file?

[ProgAndy]

ImageSearch is a Win32 API DLL, not a COM-Dll. So you have to use ctypes

[Neelix]

ok

i have the follow code:

from ctypes import *

mydll = CDLL('ImageSearchDLL.dll)

imgSearch = mydll.ImageSearch

and now, how can I use the function?

When i type:

result = imgSearch("img.bmp", 1, 0, 0, 0) i get a WindowsError: exception: access violation reading 0x00000000

[chogan]

ok

i have the follow code:

from ctypes import *

mydll = CDLL('ImageSearchDLL.dll)

imgSearch = mydll.ImageSearch

and now, how can I use the function?

When i type:

result = imgSearch("img.bmp", 1, 0, 0, 0) i get a WindowsError: exception: access violation reading 0x00000000

This works for me.

from ctypes import *
import win32api

ImageSearchDLL = windll.LoadLibrary("ImageSearchDll")
ImageSearch = ImageSearchDLL.ImageSearch
imageFile = 'myImage.bmp'
searchReturn =  c_char_p(ImageSearch(0,0,1024,1024,imageFile))

print search_return #shows c_char_p representation
print repr(string_at(search_return,21)) #shows string representation, need to fix the 21 to some sort of str_len function

ImageSearch.au3 not work under Windows 7 x64 if AutoIt3_x64.exe used!

ERROR

Line 40 ...ImageSearch.au3

if $result[0]="0" then return 0

if $result^ ERROR

Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable

If run under AutoIt3.exe - all ok!

#include <ImageSearch.au3>

$x1=0
$y1=0

$result = _ImageSearch("recycle.bmp",1,$x1,$y1,0)
if $result=1 Then
    MouseMove($x1,$y1,3)
    MsgBox(0,"Found","Found a recycle bin with stuff here...")
EndIf

$result = _ImageSearchArea("recycle.bmp",1,0,0,200,200,$x1,$y1,0)
if $result=1 Then
    MouseMove($x1,$y1,3)
    MsgBox(0,"Found","Found a recycle bin with stuff in top left corner")
EndIf

The reason to that only this is working, is that

While 1
Sleep(1000)
WEnd

will make the bot sleep 1000 MS all the time, which means it doesn't get to do other things. Why did you add it in your code in the first place? Completely useless

Btw. Thanks, will try this out!
