ImageSearch 2-nd display

[Siskin]

Hello everyone.

I have a problem with ImageSearch... no matter what I do, it cannot detect a image on the second extended non-primary display. It works flawlessly on the main display though. I reduced the code to a basic working example that should work but doesn't. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

Code: Select all

SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% 

CoordMode, ToolTip, screen
CoordMode, Mouse, screen
CoordMode, Pixel, screen

SysGet, VirtualScreenWidth, 78
SysGet, VirtualScreenHeight, 79

SysGet, VirtualScreenLeft, 76
SysGet, VirtualScreenTop, 77


	ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, VirtualScreenLeft, VirtualScreenTop ,VirtualScreenLeft+VirtualScreenWidth, VirtualScreenTop+VirtualScreenHeight, *50 testpic.bmp 
	if ErrorLevel = 2
		MsgBox Could not conduct the image search.
	else if ErrorLevel = 1
	{
		MsgBox Image not found
		ExitApp
		Return
	}
	MsgBox %FoundX% %FoundY%
ExitApp
Return

Test image used (opened in image viewer, original size no zoom, is detected on primary monitor but on secondary) https://i.gyazo.com/914d4233f85fb45a5ae ... c82163.png

If you are trying to look ONLY on the second screen, then I can't help you. If you want to find it on any screen then just Window spy to find your largest x and y number on either screen, then just do and image search to the largest x and y number.

ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0, 0, largest x, largest y, testpic.bmp

that is what I use with success.

Choosing the corect search area is not the problem my friend. The problem upon further tests seems to be that the imagesearch function does not like high numbers. Looks like a bug. If I make the other monitor primary and the virtual screen starts at negative coordinates, leaving only the second screen with positive coordinates, it works.

Run this:

Code: Select all

SysGet, Mon2, Monitor, 2
MsgBox, Left: %Mon2Left% -- Top: %Mon2Top% -- Right: %Mon2Right% -- Bottom %Mon2Bottom%.

Here is how i tested which works fine:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
CoordMode, Pixel, Screen

SysGet, Mon2, Monitor, 2

ImageSearch, foundx, foundy, Mon2Left, Mon2Top, Mon2Right, Mon2Bottom, test.png
MsgBox % ErrorLevel

ExitApp

My setup is Monitor 2 primary, leftmost. Monitor 1 extended desktop smaller and to the right of monitor 2, aligned at top. With your code it works on monitor 2 (primary), which works with any other code sample as intended. But once I move the picture to monitor 1 and change "SysGet, Mon2, Monitor, 2" to "SysGet, Mon2, Monitor, 1" again, it doesn't work.

The problem seems to be that ImageSearch doesn't like it if monitor 1 is not primary. I cannot change which is 1 and which is 2, 1 is laptop screen, 2 is hdmi cable connection to external monitor.

Strange i cant get it to not work. My primary display is monitor 2.
