why it not found "recycle.bmp" (this bmp file have some transparency 0x000000)

someone tell me about transparency parameter?

Hi, nice project!

And my first question on this forum. There are some identical images on the screen. _ImageSearchArea returns the coordinates of 1st image it recognizes. Is it possible to get array with all the coordinates of identical images (without dll recompiling if possible ^) )?

You can make UDF wrapper which will call this search function from DLL in a loop.

Everytime it find something you must add found coordinates to output array and shrink search area accordingly.

I've written the following to use it in my projects and figured you guys might find it useful, too:

; #FUNCTION# =======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================
; Name...........:  _Wait_For()
;
; Description ...:  Waits for images, symbols or other graphics to be or to not be on the screen according to user definition
;                   This can be done by utilizing three different methods:
;
;   Method 1 ...:
;
;           Syntax ........:    _Wait_For($file, $left, $top , $right, $bottom, $duration, $not, $any_or_all)
;
;           Parameters ....:    $file       - name of the file holding the template
;                               $left       - left coordinate of search rectangle
;                               $top        - top coordinate of search rectangle
;                               $right      - right coordinate of search rectangle
;                               $bottom     - bottom coordinate of search rectangle
;                               $duration   - the duration for the timeout in milliseconds
;                               $not        - "not" or anything else; waits for an object to "not" be present in the search rectangle or to (anything else) be present in the search rectangle
;                               $any_or_all - can be omitted because it's irrelevant when searching for only one object
;
;           Return values .:    Success     - returns 1 if the object was found; this is what you'd want if you go with $not = 0
;                                           - returns -1 if the object was not found; this is what you'd want if you go with $not = "not"
;
;           Examples ......:    $result = _Wait_For("recycle_bin", 0, 0, 100, @DesktopHeight, 10000, 0); waits for the template in "recycle_bin" to appear within the specified rectangle during a 10 second timeout
;                               $result = _Wait_For("recycle_bin", 0, 0, 100, @DesktopHeight, 20000, 1); waits for the template in "recycle_bin" to NOT appear within the specified rectangle during a 20 second timeout
;
;                               Failure     - returns 0 if the function timed out
;
;

This one makes use of my _Imagesearch() interpretation from one or two pages ago, so be sure to stick those two together. Also note that that _Imagesearch() function adds .bmp to the file name passed to it and looks for that in the \pics\ subdirectory of where it's saved to, so you might want to change that part of the _Imagesearch() function to fit your needs.

_Wait_For() worked with the examples shown in the description. I'll run it through more thorough tests today or tomorrow.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

History:

- added $any_or_all for array mode. Why I didn't put this in initially is beyond me... senility perhaps :)

I downloaded ImageSearch zip (which includes .au3 file, ImageSearchDLL.dll and demo.au3) and ran the demo and it gave me an error saying:

imagesearch\ImageSearch.au3 (40) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.:

The code in question is:

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

So I replaced it with:

; If error exit
  If @error Then
    Return 0
  EndIf

This is the correct fix right? Well the problem is that I can't get anything to return anything but error, the DllCall never succeeds in finding anything. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

I tried a few files with different file formats and different small portion of the screenshot and nothing seems to work. I even tried a file that's all white and ran it while displaying blank web browser that has the same hex color white, no dice.

You'd want to check if the value returned is an array. if isarray($result) then ...

Thanks for the response but "Then...", then what?

I tried what you mentioned and the isarray method came back false. it's not an array. Either way if it throws an @error there is something wrong, don't you think?

I'm going to try calling the method directory:

$result = DllCall("ImageSearchDLL.dll","str","ImageSearch","int",$x1,"int",$y1,"int",$right,"int",$bottom,"str",$findImage)

See where that takes me...

Posted (edited)

The point is you can only access a variable like an array if it really is an array. If it's just a string, you get the error you mentioned. To make sure the function proceeds only if the returned value is an array, you need to use "if isarray()". If It's an array, then start doing whatever you want. Without "if isarray()", if it's not an array, you get the error you mentioned, meaning that Imagesearch probably couldn't find what it was looking for.

#include <array.au3>

$result = DllCall("ImageSearchDLL.dll", "str", "ImageSearch", "int", $x1, "int", $y1, "int", $right, "int", $bottom, "str", $findImage)
If IsArray($result) Then
    _ArrayDisplay($result)
Else
    MsgBox(0, "imagesearch returned: " & $result)
EndIf

Yeah, I gathered that... it's suppose to return the x,y of the found pattern.

My real question is, why isn't it working, is there a common reason why this module fails to work that I missed while googling. Sorry if I wasn't clear initially.

Posted (edited)

I don't really have an idea, sorry. Works like a charm for me.

Made you an example. Open the picture file included in the archive with an image viewer that allows for 1:1 viewing (I was using IrfanView), and place it so it isn't covered by any other window. Then run test.au3.

You may want to replace the line

$findimage = "user_green.bmp"

with

$file = "user_green.bmp"
$findimage = "*" & "transblack" & " " & "*" & 30 & " " & $file

to get the transparency of the image recognised by the imagesearchdll.dll. This is to make it work with image displaying programs (like most webbrowsers) that handle transparency properly.

Oh man thanks to both of you I got it working. I had to put the x64 tag like AdmiralAlkex said and Sven's script worked beautifully.

This means what? You can't find the file? It's on the 3rd page: Same page you posted on. You realize it is broken and want to warn everyone else? Then you forgot to mention it is on the 3rd page.

you mean page 4 (posts 63 and 64)

Posted

you mean page 4 (posts 63 and 64)

Actually, your post made me realize that there is a setting that determines the number of posts on each page. For me, the thread has only 3 pages and you mention a page 4. 8)

Better is indeed to link to posts:

I have modified The image search wrapper so the error is shown.

Func _ImageSearchArea($findImage, $resultPosition, $x1, $y1, $right, $bottom, ByRef $x, ByRef $y, $tolerance, $transparency = 0)
    ;MsgBox(0,"asd","" & $x1 & " " & $y1 & " " & $right & " " & $bottom)
    If not ($transparency = 0) Then $findImage = "*" & $transparency & " " & $findImage
    If $tolerance > 0 Then $findImage = "*" & $tolerance & " " & $findImage
    MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber,'Selection:' & @lf & 'Before Call' ) ;### Debug MSGBOX
    Local $result = DllCall("ImageSearchDLL.dll", "str", "ImageSearch", "int", $x1, "int", $y1, "int", $right, "int", $bottom, "str", $findImage)
    Local $err = @error
    MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber,'Selection:' & @lf & 'After Call' ) ;### Debug MSGBOX
    if $err > 0 Then
     MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~' & @ScriptLineNumber,'Selection:' & @lf & '$err' & @lf & @lf & 'Return:' & @lf & $err) ;### Debug MSGBOX
     return 0
    EndIf
    ; If error exit
    If $result[0] = "0" Then
        Return 0
    EndIf

Regardless of which DLL I use, I always get the @error=1 "unable to use the DLL file"

I am running under Windows 7. I am using Auto-IT with out the 64 bit features.

My goal is to find buttons to click on an any application. Especially those where control click will not work, since AutoIt Window Info shows nothing for the control name.

In this particular instance I what to control Fraps.

Thanks in advance
