 |
|
As the title suggests, I want to know whether its possible to do an imagesearch on a minimized application.
I searched a lot with different keywords for this before posting this. I couldn't find anything relevant in the search results.
As far as I know, I can Click and Send keys to a minimized application via ControlClick and ControlSend, but I need to search for an image before I send the clicks. Only way I know of doing this is if the window is focused or at least if the part of the window with the image is visible on screen.
Any suggestions? Is it an impossible task or something too hard to do? |

I don't think you can.

| As the Manual wrote: | | The region to be searched must be visible; in other words, it is not possible to search a region of a window hidden behind another window. |
But to have the window (visible) on a second monitor, it should be possible, even if the monitor is virtual.
But how to make Windows believe there's a second display (when there's not), that's the question!

Been a while, I'm still thinking how this could be done. I've messed around in Linux a bit and found out that making virtual displays is not a big problem there. Is it possible in windows as well? |
