Helpfile/webhelp _WinAPI_SetWindowDisplayAffinity() is missing an option, $WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setwindowdisplayaffinity /edit hmm, appears it's not even included in autoit, the function say it requires atleast win7, but WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE requires win10.

Now we are getting somewhere, updated version, got rid of gdiplus, no more bitmapcreatefromHbitmap or bitmaplockbits. Though I couldnt get screencapture_capture to work with it, need to experiment some more, so made my own. (I can only guess but I think there's something wrong with screencapture_capture function, the same problem i had earlier where I had to use bitmapclone) ;Be sure $posx and $posy is pointing at the correct spot!

I'll write up a walkthrough later, meanwhile, have you seen the update of the getnumber() func I made, it's shorter and slightly faster now...

Completely agree, it was just for sake of the example, i just picked something fast, It's not what OP needed so he wont be using it, only the button part he needed, but nice call, I'll edit the example if someone else should read it and use it.

Do what i wrote, find the correct spot, comment out that line that gives error and run the script again, then you'll see the test image, and while the script is running press printscreen on your keyboard to take a screenshot, open that screenshot in an image editor and point the cursor at the spot on the picture i posted and note down the coords, those are the coords for $posx and $posy. When you found the spot and got it running please post your screen resolution and your posx posy result so others with same resolution can use your result so they dont have to do the same. It could ofcourse be made so it checks automatically, it's autoit, but not now, sleep now, yes. 🥱

@Nine fixed that earlier, now we are just playing around, OP has gotten above 15k, and is probably having his computer running for days now with no time to try out our new examples, we may probably come up with a solution that would finish faster than the script he has running now. Just like Voyager 1 will be surpassed by spaceships we build later.

Yes, but you are supposed to skip those second ones, and only read the needed ones, i'll see if I can mock up an example later using pixelgetcolor, dinner time now. 😛

@Nine How so, they are unique so how can they give a false positive? You check both the lit and unlit pixels. We could store them in one byte each, they are 7 pixels tall (yes, i know they are actually taller but we only use those we need), and 7 bits fits a byte they would become (reading from top to bottom in little-endian)... 0 = 62 1 = 0 2 = 35 3 = 34 4 = 12 5 = 114 6 = 30 7 = 64 8 = 54 9 = 48

Doesnt matter, it'll work fine as the numbers are always 3 digits with a leading zero when the number is less than 100, like "......043......", as per his other thread where he posts examples of numbers.

You dont need to check the whole pattern, the first column in each digit is unique...

Could you post a screenshot of Tools.exe, so we can see what it looks like. (blur out any secrets). Shouldnt be necessary with all the screengrab, files and color conversions, or checking for the whole pattern of each number, instead of just a small unique part. But please, screenshot of tools.exe.

As per forum rules...
