I haven't learned vb yet, because I don't want to spend the $100+ on the software if I won't end up being able to make a program that does what I want it to do. I posted a couple months ago with a similar question, and the response was basically that it would be rather complicated to do what I want to do. But I have thought of a way to make things much more simple for me, if I make a program.

My question is, if I learned vb, would it be a complicated or somewhat basic task to make a program that could detect the color of a specific pixel on my monitor, and react to it if it's the right color? The pixel wouldn't be showing up on the program I make, but on a webpage.
