Hi. If you GetPixelColor of things, such as in a game, instead of moving the window and then getting the colors there, is it possible to let it not matter where the screen is. I thought you had to use the ADD> command to do this im just not sure? Example please? Thank you.

Regards,
Mark

You have to get the X Y position of the window, and then add those X Y values to the X Y values within the window where you want to get the pixel color

If X and Y are the coordinates in the window of the pixel for which you want to get the color

GetWindowPos>MyWindow,WX,WY
Add>X,WX
Add>Y,WY
GetPixelColor>X,Y,PC

Sure. If the pixel you want to check is at 100 pixels across and 50 pixels down (you need to replace "MyWindow" with the actual name of the window)

GetWindowPos>MyWindow,WX,WY
Add>100,WX
Add>50,WY
GetPixelColor>X,Y,PC
Message>PC
