Hi,
here is a trial for something I saw in the "wish list"

Code:

^w::
Mousegetpos,cx,cy,
pixelgetcolor,pc,%cx%,%cy%
ny=%cy%
loop
{
   ny-=1
   pixelgetcolor,npc,%cx%,%ny%
   if npc<>pc
   {
      sy=%ny%
      break
   }
}
ny=%cy%

loop   
{
   ny+=1         
   pixelgetcolor, npc,%cx%,%ny%
   if npc<>pc
   {
      fy=%ny%
      break
   }
}
clipboard=
mouseclick,,%cx%,%sy%
MouseClickDrag,L,%cx%,%sy%,%cx%,%fy%
Send, ^c
if clipboard=
{
   return
}
MsgBox, %clipboard%
return

^q::
exitapp
return


I know it's not perfect as I want it to be ...
please try it and feel free to edit and please share the result.

thanks

It seems like a good way to work around the fact that "ControlGet, Selected" tends to work only with basic edit controls.

Thanks for sharing it.

All the time I asked myself why this works? I discovered that the script works, in this manner, because it sends a doubleclick... or am I wrong here?

Quote:
mouseclick,,%cx%,%sy%
MouseClickDrag,L,%cx%,%sy%,%cx%,%fy%


I think that the "pixelgetcolor,pc,%cx%,%cy%" has no effect. Sad

So the script below does the same:
Code:

^b::
clipboard=
MouseClick, left, , , 2
Send, ^c
if clipboard=
   return
MsgBox, %clipboard%
return


But the question is, how to detect text under the mouse, using the pixelgetcolor function Question

Hi,

well, The idea here was a trial to find the start and the end of the text under the mouse by detecting the color pixel by pixel ( both directions starting from the mouse pointer's initial position ).

mouseclick,,%cx%,%sy%
MouseClickDrag,L,%cx%,%sy%,%cx%,%fy%


;mouseclick,,%cx%,%sy%
I'm sorry, this line has no effect , I forgot to remove it!

MouseClickDrag,L,%cx%,%sy%,%cx%,%fy%
this line is used to select text between the start and end pixels.!

I thought this could be a good way to detect the text..!
sure it's not the best. but that what I could try..!

thanks for the comment.
