do someone know if is possible to search inside a pbitmap instead searching for the text on screen?

i tried edit here, but did not work :cry:

Code: Select all

    if (id) and !(w<1 or h<1)
    {
      ;hDC2:=DllCall("GetDCEx", Ptr,id, Ptr,0, "int",3, Ptr)
      ;hDC2	    := Gdip_BitmapFromHWND(id)
      hDC2 := Gdip_CreateBitmapFromFile("C:\Users\User\Documents\x.png") ;
      
      DllCall("BitBlt",Ptr,mDC,"int",x-zx,"int",y-zy,"int",w,"int",h
        , Ptr,hDC2, "int",x-wx, "int",y-wy, "uint",0x00CC0020|0x40000000)
      DllCall("ReleaseDC", Ptr,id, Ptr,hDC2)
    }
I think you can replace screen data with image files like this, but I haven't tested:

Code: Select all

/*
  if (hBM) and !(w<1 or h<1)
  {
    win:=DllCall("GetDesktopWindow", Ptr)
    hDC:=DllCall("GetWindowDC", Ptr,win, Ptr)
    mDC:=DllCall("CreateCompatibleDC", Ptr,hDC, Ptr)
    oBM:=DllCall("SelectObject", Ptr,mDC, Ptr,hBM, Ptr)
    DllCall("BitBlt",Ptr,mDC,"int",x-zx,"int",y-zy,"int",w,"int",h
      , Ptr,hDC, "int",x, "int",y, "uint",0x00CC0020|0x40000000)
    DllCall("ReleaseDC", Ptr,win, Ptr,hDC)
    if (id:=this.BindWindow(0,0,1))
      WinGet, id, ID, ahk_id %id%
    if (id)
    {
      WinGetPos, wx, wy, ww, wh, ahk_id %id%
      left:=x, right:=x+w-1, up:=y, down:=y+h-1
      left:=left<wx ? wx:left, right:=right>wx+ww-1 ? wx+ww-1:right
      up:=up<wy ? wy:up, down:=down>wy+wh-1 ? wy+wh-1:down
      x:=left, y:=up, w:=right-left+1, h:=down-up+1
    }
    if (id) and !(w<1 or h<1)
    {

      DllCall("BitBlt",Ptr,mDC,"int",x-zx,"int",y-zy,"int",w,"int",h

    }
    DllCall("SelectObject", Ptr,mDC, Ptr,oBM)

How to use FindText_BindWindow to find the color of x, y in the full-screen temporary image of the background
If it can be combined with getcolor(), from this arcticir article
https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7451
I think I should solve it, thank you @feiyue for creating this program

Code: Select all

    WinGet, OutputVar, ID, A
    FindText_BindWindow(OutputVar)
    FindText_ScreenShot(0,0,1920,1080)
    color := FindText_ScreenShot_GetColor(1615,562)

You can use FindText_GetTextFromScreen(x1, y1, x2, y2)

Hi Feiyue

Great, that You are doing a very good work at this findtext. :bravo:

I try to detect or wait change in some area first i try RegionWaitChange.ahk but not works.

the error message:

Code: Select all

RegionWaitChange.ahk (63) : ==> Call to nonexistent function.
     Specifically: Hash_GetCode(bits, sz)
Maybe some library are missing since i can't get fully the zip file from https ahknet.autohotkey.com /~Titan/dl/RegionWaitChange.zip Broken Link for safety (broken link) so i find another way.

Then from found your post, i try use your code from your answer to post https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=17834&start=138 or 137, but also got error. but as i remember i ever run well this code. But now it fail, but not sure what's happen. :facepalm:

the error message:

Code: Select all

Check_the_regionchange.ahk (22) : ==> Call to nonexistent function.
     Specifically: xywh2xywh(x,y,w,h, x,y,w,h)
I don't know what's wrong with this, hopefully you or someone here could help. :)

system:
The autohotkey 1.1.33.01 64bit (just run it today, formerly used 32bit, change to 64 in order to fix the error but no luck, still not working)
Windows 10 Pro v 1909

Thanks Feiyue the your code now works,

But now, i want to try your code but it cannot get my code work to detect changing, it always get Tooltip status: Wait the screen image still the same.

I still do not know how to make it in one ahk script to test it.

1) send text to find what inputbox area {that the area i want to detect the changing

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance Force
wbk := ComObjGet("e:\web duplikat\fixing kerjaan ariel pada webbaru\link error\temp\replace_data.ods")

^1::
if WinExist("ahk_class Notepad++") or WinExist("ahk_class" . ClassName)
    WinActivate  ; Uses the last found window.

if WinExist("ahk_class #32770") or WinExist("ahk_class" . ClassName)
    WinActivate  ; Uses the last found window.

loop {

;this click is to make sure the window of find and replace (Ctrl+H) of notepad plus is activate not the "writing area of notepadplus" , because it usually go back activating the parent instead of the child window(find replace).

	if (!ok) {

		sleep, 500

}
}


;sending the inputbox long and many text to make sure it always changeing/not stopping with label name "Find What"
;the detecting changing to make sure the sending text all done, before ask the script to run another process
Loop, 20 {
; Gets the value of cell 1, 1 (also known as cell A1) from Sheet1

A2Val := wbk.Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(A_Index, 2).Value
SendInput, % A1Val
Sleep, 1000
SendInput, % A2Val
Sleep, 1000
}

^2::Pause
^3::Exit

;===== Copy The Following Functions To Your Own Code Just once using v5.9 still works=====

2) the second script is to check detect the screen is changing.

Code: Select all

I think the default comparison threshold is too large. You can set it smaller.
I recommend that the range used to detect screen changes is as small as possible.

Code: Select all

#Include <FindText>

WinGetPos, x, y, w, h, A
pic1:=GetPicArr(x, y+50, w, h-50)
Loop {
  Sleep, 500
  WinGetPos, x, y, w, h, A
  pic2:=GetPicArr(x, y+50, w, h-50)
  if ComparePicArr(pic1, pic2, n:=0.001)
  {
    Tip("Change")
  }
  else
  {
    Tip("Not Change")
  }
  pic1:=pic2
}

; Get the RGB value of all the points of the picture to the array

GetPicArr(x, y, w, h)
{
  ListLines, % (lls:=A_ListLines=0?"Off":"On") ? "Off":"Off"
  SetBatchLines, % (bch:=A_BatchLines) ? "-1":"-1"
  FindText_ScreenShot(x, y, x+w-1, y+h-1)
  arr:=[], i:=1
  Loop, % h {
    yy:=y+A_Index-1
    Loop, % w {
      xx:=x+A_Index-1
      , arr[i++]:=FindText_ScreenShot_GetColor(xx, yy)
    }
  }
  SetBatchLines, %bch%
  ListLines, %lls%
  return arr
}

; Check whether all change points in the picture exceed the percentage

ComparePicArr(arr1, arr2, n:=0.3)
{
  diff:=0, diffMax:=Round(arr1.MaxIndex()*n)
  For k,v in arr1
    if (diff+=(arr2[k]!=v))>diffMax
      return, 1
  return, 0

Wow Great feiyue your code works like a charm :bravo: :clap:

Note: my comment is just to make me understand, hope it not wrongly understood of Feiyue code.

Now then i try to modify your tips to show the area for visual checking before compare

Code: Select all

WinGetPos, x, y, w, h, A
xcoord := x
ycoord := y
width := Round(w*0.5)
height := Round(h*0.2)
MsgBox, %xcoord%,%ycoord% w = %width%, h = %height%
FindText_ShowArea(xcoord, ycoord, width, height)

; Prompt Area for assuring the area with visual, just incase need to resize to more specific area. 
FindText_ShowArea(x:="", y:="", Active_width:="", Active_height:="")
{
  local
  if (x="")
  {
    VarSetCapacity(pt,16,0), DllCall("GetCursorPos","ptr",&pt)
    x:=NumGet(pt,0,"uint"), y:=NumGet(pt,4,"uint")
  }
  x:=Round(x), y:=Round(y), w:=Round(Active_width)  h:=Round(Active_height)
  ;-------------------------

This is the full code i use

Loop {
  Sleep, 500
  WinGetPos, x, y, w, h, A
  pic2:=GetPicArr(xcoord, ycoord, width, height)
  ; the default comparison threshold if too large, you can change to n:=0.001
  if ComparePicArr(pic1, pic2, n:=0.01)
  {
    ToolTip, "Change" . %A_index%

    Sleep, 1000
  }
  Gui, _ShowArea_: Destroy
}

The Result, the area created for height is right but the but the problem Width is wrong, showing very long red paralel line from the left and to the right, even i already change the width to 50 percent or 10 percent of width active window.
is use secondary monitor as primary, is it matter??. after trying change the monitor to extended monitor, or primary only at laptop, the problem still the same.

Can you fixed and give the more comments to understand whats your code doing, if you don't mind.
or may be there is another better code is welcome.

Thanks

You just need to debug to find the problem.

Code: Select all

  x:=Round(x), y:=Round(y), w:=Round(Active_width)  h:=Round(Active_height)
  ; MsgBox, % w  ; Debug w --> w:=Round(Active_width), h:=Round(Active_height)

Re: FindText - Capture screen image into text and then find it

16 Aug 2020, 11:37

First time using this library here, I am trying to see how it works for myself by creating my first example.
but am stuck, when I click on "Capture" Findtext is capturing 15 centermetres beneath where my cursor actually is.
I have not modified any of the code. I copied exerything as is and pasted into an empty .ahk file that I named FindText.ahk
Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

Re: FindText - Capture screen image into text and then find it

24 Aug 2020, 23:13

Hi there,

I'm having this really strange issue and I can't figure this out. Hopefully, someone will be able to help me :)

I have 2 laptops and they both have the same resolution (1920 x 1080). They do not have any scaling enabled (scaling in Display settings is set to 100% for both).

The script below only works on one laptop, but not the other.

Code: Select all

		 t1:=A_TickCount, X:=Y:=""
		
		Text:="|<>*194$62.zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzDtzzzzzzzznyTzzzzzzzwzbzzzzzzzzDtzzzzzzzznyS1w7zzzzwzb0Q0zzzzzDtXz77zzzznyMzXlzzzzwzb7swTzzzzDtsS07zzzznyT3U1zzzzwz7wMzzzzzz7lzaDzzzzzssztlzzzzzy0D0Q0Tzzzzk7kDkDzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzU"
		
		 if (ok:=FindText(1125, 754, 1247, 818, 0, 0, Text))
		 {
		   CoordMode, Mouse
		   X:=ok.1.x, Y:=ok.1.y, Comment:=ok.1.id
		   Click, %X%, %Y%
		 }

		 for i,v in ok
		   if (i<=2)
		     FindText_MouseTip(ok[i].x, ok[i].y)	

If I use the FindText to capture the same image in the same location and compare the differences, I can see that they are slightly different.

My question is, why would the captured image be different? Both laptops have the same resolution, so the FindText capture should be identical for both machines?

My 2nd question is, is it possible to do a fuzzy search for the text?

I'm running into a really weird issue...

i'm trying to check if icon A exist. If it does, I would then want to check whether icon B exists. Icon B doesn't always appear, but when it does, I don't want the script to do anything. If only icon A appears, then just click it. This doesn't work for some reason. The clicked location is not correct. It clicks outside of the window/program.

Code: Select all

             if (ok:=FindText(889, 675, 1059, 723, 0, 0, Text))
             {
                
                sleep, 500

                 if (ok:=FindText(924, 617, 1024, 665, 0, 0, SpiralIcon))
                 {             
                    return
                    
                 }else{
                 
                   CoordMode, Mouse
                   MouseGetPos, save123, save321
                   X:=ok.1.x, Y:=ok.1.y, Comment:=ok.1.id
                   Click, %X%, %Y%

                 }

However, if I take out the check for icon B, the click for icon A works perfectly fine and clicks in the correct location:

Re: FindText - Capture screen image into text and then find it

Try:

Code: Select all

    if (ok:=FindText(924, 617, 1024, 665, 0, 0, SpiralIcon))
    {             
        return
    }
     
    sleep, 500
    if (ok:=FindText(889, 675, 1059, 723, 0, 0, Text))
    {
        CoordMode, Mouse
        MouseGetPos, save123, save321
        X:=ok.1.x, Y:=ok.1.y, Comment:=ok.1.id
        Click, %X%, %Y%
        sleep, 100

        MouseMove, save123, save321                                
    }
or to be more consistent with your code:

Code: Select all

             if (ok:=FindText(889, 675, 1059, 723, 0, 0, Text))
             {
                
                sleep, 500

                 if FindText(924, 617, 1024, 665, 0, 0, SpiralIcon)
                 {             
                    return
                    
                 }else{
                 
                   CoordMode, Mouse
                   MouseGetPos, save123, save321
                   X:=ok.1.x, Y:=ok.1.y, Comment:=ok.1.id
                   Click, %X%, %Y%
                    sleep, 100
                    
                   MouseMove, save123, save321                                
                 }
             }
P.s.: For your previous question try: if (ok:=FindText(1125, 754, 1247, 818, 0.15, 0.15, Text)) or the like.
