Popup message

Post by HSEIVANE » Sun Jan 12, 2020 1:19 am

I have the following problem, on one site, a popup message appears ramdomly, and I don't know when, is there a way to leave a routine checking that if that message appears, take an action and then continue with the macro from where it was

OnEvent sounds like a good place to start, if it's a window that opens. If it can be tracked by pixel color in a specific location, there's also that option too.

Does it always pop up in the same place? If so, can you use OnEvent to watch for the pixel color. However, that blue could inadvertently be present in that location if you were scrolling, so in the subroutine I'd suggest using Image Recognition to click the button, followed by any actions you wish to perform in the SRT.

Something like this :

Code: Select all

//Watch for pixel colour
OnEvent>pixel_color,1942:1239,11564288,ClickUpdateButton

//Replace this with the rest of your script.
label>start
wait>1
goto>start

//Click the Update button
SRT>ClickUpdateButton
  FindImagePos>%BMP_DIR%\image_1.bmp,SCREEN,0.7,1,XArr,YArr,NumFound,CCOEFF
  If>NumFound>0
    MouseMove>XArr_0,YArr_0
    LClick
  Endif
END>ClickUpdateButton

Sorry, it does not work...

What I should use in order to get the pixel colour and coordinates?

The wizard does not return that.

Thanks, the only problem the solution to copy to the clipboard is not working. I've pressed left and right buttons at the same time but nothing happened.
