Improvements to image/text recognition commands

[lqn_2003]

Could we add an argument to all image/text recognition commands to specify in which window to look for the image/text? Most of the time, we know exactly in which window to look for.

The need for this is sometimes it pick the wrong image from the desktop or from other windows that looked similar. With the ability to specify which window to look into, the accuracy will be increased tremendously.

Thanks and keep up the awesome work you guys are doing with this product!

That can already be done.

Look at the Google Button Example that comes with Macro Scheduler. It searches ONLY the browser window:

//Get bounds of window
GetActiveWindow>title,X,Y,W,H

//Capture the IE Window to a bitmap
IfFileExists>%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp
DeleteFile>%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp
EndIf
ScreenCapture>X,Y,{%X%+%W%},{%Y%+%H%},%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp

//I used the capture tool to make googlebutton.bmp and saved it in the script folder
FindImagePos>%SCRIPT_DIR%\googlebutton.bmp,%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp,20,1,XArr,YArr,imgs

Notice it is only searching inside the IE window, not the full screen.

Just tried this,

GetActiveWindow returns x,y,height,width.

ScreenCapture needs x(top),Y(top),x(Bottom),Y(Bottom)

shouldn't it be

--------------------------------------------------------------------

GetActiveWindow>title,X,Y,W,H

//Capture the IE Window to a bitmap
IfFileExists>%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp
DeleteFile>%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp
EndIf
Let>W=W+X
Let>H=H+Y
ScreenCapture>X,Y,W,H,%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp

//I used the capture tool to make googlebutton.bmp and saved it in the script folder
FindImagePos>%SCRIPT_DIR%\googlebutton.bmp,%SCRIPT_DIR%\screen.bmp,20,1,XArr,YArr,imgs

Yes, correct. Well spotted. Post updated.
