We know you need help with code, you are posting in a help forum. Please give your threads a relevant title.

Your question does not make sense. Clicking on a picture does not do anything, it is a picture. Clicking on a button within a website is a different type of area. Which one is it? How are pictures involved?
Take the time to give a full clear response, you want a fast response, we need to know what you actually want help with.

I have to concur with Grimfort. Presumably English is not your first language but your post is fairly incoherent. If we have to spend ages working out what the question is then you're not likely to get an answer. It sounds rather like you're just describing what you want your app to do and then expecting us to explain how to do everything. What have you done so far and where exactly are you stuck? If you haven't done anything then that's your issue. If you have no idea where to start then the project is obviously beyond you at this point and you should either tackle something easier or work your way through a tutorial first. Doing things that push you is one thing but if you're asking us to do everything then that's not really pushing you at all.

Same here... I tried to read it three or four time (or possibly five) and just got even more confused... on one hand it sounded like you wanted something that will look at an image file, then search the screen for it... but then it sounds like you want it to perform a google search and either display the results, or just take the first result... but I don't see what that has to do with an image.

ok i'm sorry i will try to explain as better as i can and thanks for the fast reply ....
lets start with the images...i need the image to specify where the mouse will click
the vb will read the picture and find the same thing on the screen and click it i created a image how will my form be

[Mucker]

Wow, Ia m more confused now than I was after reading your first reply. Try providing detail for detail what each button textbox etc is meant to do. I know its clear in your head, but you need to explain in as much detail as you can. i think your are asking......... i don't know what you are asking, where is your picture box in the form??? without one you cant show image.

ok so i want the vb to read a picture and find it on the screen then click it i found this : http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topi...mage-and-more/
but its not vb...or maybe i can use the library of that program somehow?

[Grimfort]

Ok, so you want to use an image on disk as a template, go looking for the image on the screen (or in this case a game) and then send a click to that position on the screen where the image is found. To use for a trainer type application on a game?

someone understood me xD yeah this is what i mean
is this posible in vb?

[kaliman79912]

Of course it is possible, but as other posters have asked before... what do you have so far? do you want us to develop your application?

i need the code to read the picture and find it on screen and click it only
i have the code for autohotkey i get the code from someone with the same kind of program but i cant convert it to vb

Oh right a game cheat for yourself. Seen many of these released for games like bejeweled etc. Why should any One just make this for you? You clearly have no knowledge of visual basic & i am not even sure if this violates vb forums rules.

i dont want to make a cheat this is just an explenation i added the code to see what i'm trying to do ....i just want the code to find the image on the screen and press it nothing more the rest i will do by myself and yeah i'm not very good at vb i can make simple programs with if or calculations or cmd commands run i can make many tings but now i dont know that code ... find and click ( not coordinates )

[kaliman79912]

I agree with ident. If you do not know visual basic it would be impossible for us to tell you how to do such a complex undertaking. And also, it smells fishy. There is no point at doing an application that searches for a button on google main page and then click on it if you could much easier just use the hyperlink.

I have seen things like this looking for specific colors in a specific area of the screen and not looking for an entire image. But again, if you do not know vb, this is a bit too much.

you think? i'm not profesion at vb as i told before but i can create some programs . so this is a bit hard to make ? i searched in google but i found only the mouse click on coorfinates that's why im asking here the only thing i need to know how to make mouse find the picture in screen

[techgnome]

the script you posted "works" because the foundation on which it was built is designed to that... so the script makes it deceptively easy. VB on the other hand... has no such functionality built into it... and it's not something that would be feasible to do... I'm not saying impossible... just... it's not something a sane person would take on... it's probably not something most insane people would take on... it would be slow, cumbersome and prone to failure.

[kaliman79912]

OK, I have to give you the benefit of the doubt and not assume the worst. The complexity of what you are asking is because you are not searching just for a single value, as it would be if you are looking for a single color pixel. An entire picture as you know is madeup of many pixels, so you would have to store that in some kind of array and then make a sweep of the window you are searching and compare. There should be more advanced, technical methods to do it but this is what I suggest you do. It will make a lot of calculations and comparisons so the process may not be fast. You may find also the problem that the same web page can be redered different depending on various factors so the image may not be identical to the one you have stored on your hard drive and the procedure will fail.

[ident]

It's to much for a beginner to understand.

you think so? uhh and i wanted that bad to make it ..well i have plenty on free time so i will keep trying :P never give up ok so i have other question is possible to use the library that the code is made in vb? ( code is made from autohotkey)

[ident]

Here is a small part of a Bejeweled bot that i know was written that use to work (might still do). I have nothing to do with this project or ever gone through it but does this make any sense to you? I highly doubt it.

yeah i understand that and i know the image is full of pixels so basicaly vg must search those pixels in the screen

[kaliman79912]

You might also look into "Scar Divi", in it you have to know a bit of pascal as it is a pascal like scripting languaje and its purpose is to create macros to be applied to external windows' and it has a bunch of graphic functions. I really hope you are not looking into cheating.

nah i realy dont look into cheating if i wanted to cheat i will use the other program that i send the code coz its ready i just like the vb and i want to learn more things on how to do and what is possible vb to do and its not very hard ...i know a little turbo paskal (case and more ) but i dont like it much ..i created one program in vb that opens the form2 500times+ on all over the screen it took me some time but i did it (the good thing is that the program crashes coz i was bored to close all the windows) :P everyone can make everything they want just never give up and that is it what keeps me going
