Click if an image is visible Topic is solved

[diegg1739]

Hello, I made the following script that should work as follows: If a small image is visible in the toolbar, in the Paint.net window, then by typing Alt Gr + O, AHK clicks on the toolbar and displays a menu. If the image is not visible, then typing Alt Gr + O should do nothing.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
#SingleInstance
Persistent
#HotIf WinActive('ahk_exe paintdotnet.exe')
<^>!o::	{
	found:= ImageSearch(&OutputVarX, &OutputVarY, 70, 70, 100, 100, "F:\Documents\AutoHotkey\Imágenes ImageSearch AHK\Herramienta Formas Paint.net.png")
	if (found)
	{
	click 170, 90
	mouseMove 220,400
	}
	}
#HotIf

The problem is that the script does not work. It's wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me to make it work!

Hello,

"Does not work" does not explain what your script does when you run it. Is your hotkey ever triggered? If so, how do you know? What does the script actually do?

What value does the search return?

Are your coordinates relative to the active window's client area? If not, adjust, or use CoordMode to change the point of reference.

Testing an ImageSearch does not require 13 lines. You can do it in three lines. This will speed your coding and debugging.

#HotIf is not necessary to determine whether your script works. Debugging is easier without it.

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
image := 'test.png'
x1 := 70
y1 := 70
x2 := 100
y2 := 100
found := ImageSearch(&x, &y, x1, y1, x2, y2, image)
MouseMove x1, y1
MsgBox 'Title:`n' WinGetTitle('A') '`n`nfound = ' found, 'Result', 'Iconi'

Thanks for your response, Mikeyww. Regarding my script, these are the answers to your questions:
1) When I run the script, it does nothing. Pressing AltGr + or nothing happens, whether the icon is visible or not visible.
The result I expect is that, when the icon is visible, when I press AltGr + o, the script will click on the toolbar to display a menu.
2) The search does not return any results.
3) The coordinates are relative to the client area of the active window.

Regarding your script, a window appears that says: Result:
Title: Autohotkey - Tablacus Explorer
found = 0.

So I added the image address in your script

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v2.0
WinActive('ahk_exe paintdotnet.exe')
image := 'F:\Documents\AutoHotkey\Imágenes ImageSearch AHK\Herramienta Formas Paint.net.png'
x1 := 70
y1 := 70
x2 := 100
y2 := 100
found := ImageSearch(&x, &y, x1, y1, x2, y2, image)
MouseMove x1, y1
MsgBox 'Title:`n' WinGetTitle('A') '`n`nfound = ' found, 'Result', 'Iconi'

So you added the image. What happened next?

[diegg1739]

When you run the script, the mouse pointer is displayed in the correct position, although this occurs over the active File Explorer window. Additionally, a small window is displayed that says: Result: Title: Downloads - Tablacus Explorer, Found = 0.

[mikeyww]

I would start by capturing a simple static image from your screen as a PNG file, and then using that in your testing to see if ImageSearch works. If it fails, then it typically means that the image is not visible or that the coordinates are wrong. If using default coordinates, then the point of reference will be the client area of whichever window happens to be the active window at the time.

[diegg1739]

Indeed, mikeyww. There was an error in the coordinates and, for that reason, ImageSearch was not finding the icon.
This is the script that works as I wanted:

Code: Select all

#HotIf WinActive('ahk_exe paintdotnet.exe')
image := 'F:\Documents\AutoHotkey\Imagenes-ImageSearch-AHK\Herramienta-Formas-Paint.net.png'
x1 := 60
y1 := 60
x2 := 110
y2 := 110
<^>!o::	{
found := ImageSearch(&x, &y, x1, y1, x2, y2, image)
	if (found)
	{
	click 170, 90
	mouseMove 220,400
	}
	}
#HotIf

Thank you very much for your help!
