When I ~lbutton:: CoordMode, Mouse, Window MouseGetPos, mx, my, buttonHwnd and the user clicks on a window other than the active window, the x, y, and hwnd are for the window which is losing focus and not the window which was clicked on. At least sometimes. This *is* what the doc says: "Relative: Co...

Sort of... I put all of my #include at the bottom of my script. Immediately before the first #include, I place "#warn All, Off". It seems to have the desired effect.

When I execute the following code, IE is launched, made visible, and the IE window is ACTIVATED. Is there a way to make it visible without activating it? wb := ComObjCreate("InternetExplorer.Application") wb.visible := true Yuck! It looks like this activates IE too. Is it possible to automate IE wit...

Thank you to both of you. Clearly, calling ControlGet is the right thing to do in this particular case, but knowing how to cast COM objects will definitely come in handy.

I need to cast an IWebBrowser2 to an IServiceProvider, then to an IOleWindow; then call GetWindow on the IOleWindow. I have an IWebBrowser2 object (named win) for an IE tab, but calling wind.HWND returns the handle for the main frame window and not the tab. (This was by design, per Microsoft, for 'm...

CAPTUREBLT fixed it. (CAPTUREBLT = 0x00CC0020 | 0x40000000) It's been a while since I did coding at the level of BitBlt. If I understand correctly, the simplified explanation amounts to Gdip_BitmapFromScreen() will capture the whole screen if you have simple windows Upgrade to Gdip_BitmapFromScreen(...

I saved the PrintScreen bitmap and the Gdip_BitmapFromScreen bitmap to disk. The PrintScreen image shows the screen as I see it on the monitor. The Gdip image is missing the entire window of interest. The window is simply invisible to Gdip!

OK. This is really weird. I switched to using GDIP. The search call looks like this: RET := Gdip_ImageSearch(bmpHaystack,bmpNeedle,LIST, 0,0,hWidth,hHeight) If I set bmpHaystack with this code: send ^{PrintScreen} bmpHaystack := Gdip_CreateBitmapFromClipboard() it finds the image successfully. But i...

I run an ImageSearch with an image plainly visible on the screen, and ImageSearch fails to find it. OK. I must be doing it wrong. But, I can screenprint that same visible image and paste it into MS Paint, and the same Imagesearch finds it. CoordMode, Pixel, Screen CoordMode, Mouse, Screen Image = e:...

Looks like maybe this fixes the code so that Example 1 works:

Hmmm... When I run the first example, I get
I'd really like to be able to sort those additional arrays.

I need to export a bitmap out of GDI into memory. I have a need to save an image once a second. My disk can't keep up, so I can't save the image to a file. Later on, something unusual might happen. It happens infrequently (less than once an hour). IF that event happens, then I need to take the curre...
