How do i detect the color of a pixel ANYWHERE on the screen (not just in a picture or on the form). do i need a dll or something?
(politely) can someone help me write a function that returns the color of the pixel in argb?
for eg public function(x,y) as color ?
I'm trying to figure out some simple code to detect when a single pixel changes color at a location I choose -anywhere- on the screen (ex. 100,100). Maybe with just a msgbox popup when it changes.
The visual basic program will just be hidden and running in the background.
I should be able program the rest of the program around it, I just need the detection part. That is where I am stumped.
The purpose of the code below is to scan a program of mine to detect a pixel color change. It loops through until a change is detected. It works fine for about 10-15 seconds and then I get an ArgumentException was unhandled error. So far this has happened on two different lines at separate times...
Image = New Bitmap(Rec.Right - Rec.Left, Rec.Bottom - Rec.Top)

View 2 RepliesI would like to load a GIF file, and start with the first pixel and check to see if that pixel color is closer to Black, Red, Green or Yellow, then take what ever color it closest matched to and output that color as a number, 0, 1, 2 or 3. So just for a small example a 5x4 GIF would be converted to something like this: 0112223322220111332?

View 2 RepliesHow can I find out the pixel colour of a certain point on a web browser. For instance,WebBrowser1.getPixelColor(0,0) would get the rgb colour value of pixel 0, 0.It doesn't have to be rgb it might be hsl or whatever.The web browser is showing a local web page that is hosted on a network. If there is an error then the screen goes all grey. What I want to do is, if this does happen, display an alert message like - "An error has occurred

View 1 RepliesI have drawn a grid in vb2008 so that each rectangle represents a 15 min period of a day. Time slots are shown by filling in the grid in different colours using the draw rectangle method. No problem so far. Now I want to discover the colour of any given part of the grid to prevent an overdraw.

View 3 RepliesI am creating a custom tooltip label. My problem is auto resizing it (particularly height).The thing to note here is that the label i am using is an infragistics label, and i can have different fonts and formatting inside the label which means i cant just measure the text height based on the font because the label will contain multiple fonts.The only thing i can come up with is to make the label the height of the screen, and then perform a loop which scans the colour of each row of pixels starting from the bottom, decreasing the label height each time until it finds some pixels which <> the backcolor of the label (which would indicate that there is some text there).This is the only reliable way i can think of to make this happen, but im having trouble finding out just how exactly to get the color of the pixel at the given point.I did find one method of getting the pixel color, but the problem was that it when i requested it in the form_load it didnt return the right color because the screen wasn't painted (i guess).

View 2 RepliesI've recently been working on some VB.NET programs, grab the value of the color of a pixel on my screen(Out of my WIN32 Application).
I need this so I can make a little bot that automatically pushes buttons for a online game called "JamLegends"(http:jamlegends.com). Its kind of like Rock Band, and if I can grab the color, then I can simply used 'sendkeys' to press buttons to make the bot work.
Edit: This is for a project in school. We need to make something that will make a program that will make something easier to work with or use(In my case, JamLegends). I have nothing to work with, I've researched a bit but I found nothing that can grab pixel color values.
What I want to do is get the color of a position on the screen. I'd rather not capture the whole screen if I don't have to, just one pixel's color. I was trying to use GetPixel(ByVal hDC As IntPtr, ByVal x As Integer, ByVal y As Integer) As Integer, but I can't figure out how to get the handle to the screen.

View 1 RepliesThis is my first Visual Basic application. I mainly do console applications in C++ and since working with pixels seems to be difficult in C++ I preferred to use VB 2005 for that. What I need to do is to read and save the colors of the pixels of a picturebox located on a form into an array. I then will manipulate the color values and create a new picture. I wonder if somebody could show me how to do that without asking me what my code is. I've struggled the whole day and so far I've realized that to draw a pixel you should draw an ellipsoid like:e.Graphics.DrawEllipse(Pens.Red, 70, 70, 1, 1)in the picturebox_paint procedure.What I need to learn is how to read the color values, and how to initiate creating the new picture by pressing a button (because I don't want the part for drawing a pixel be in the picture_box procedure.)

View 4 RepliesI am fairly new to visual basic and have written this program to detect a change in a selected pixel on the screen. When the pixel changes, a sound plays every x seconds. It works fine but after a few hours of operation a possible memory leak causes it to either crash the program or the PC. I have watched the process and I can see 4k added to it every 4 seconds or so. Where this memory leak is coming from?
Here is the code:
Public Class Main
Public pointx As Long
Public pointy As Long
Public areaselected As Integer
Public TimeToPause, SecondTimer, changefound As Integer
