Hey guys,

I really don't know much about programming, so I thought this would be a good place to ask for help.

Could anyone here write a small program that continuously scans your screen and continuously right clicks whatever is yellow (specifically this yellow #FFD15A) on screen? Maybe with a "Start" and "Stop" button? Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

Well that might be not as easy as it seems...
Scanning the screen might be easy by moving the position of the cursor or the mouse dynamically. But i really don't know how to retrieve the color that is below the mouse pointer...

I was also interested in this some times ago because i wanted to show tooltips under the condition of certain colors.

First, I don't think you will get many bites on people that will do anything for you, myself included. I am here to help people with their problems and work through it with them...not to do peoples work for them.

Secondly, you should be able to do this by making calls to the Windows API's: GetDCEx and GetCursorPos (I saw a C++ article that used these awhile ago, but that app worked like a color picker (think Eye dropper in Photoshop) thus it required the user to click for the pixel color to be obtained.)

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.
Unless, of course, you want to hire me to do work for you.

I agree with dparsons. This sounds like an assignment for a class or a bonus assignment of some sort. However, i would start by looking at control ids for windows.

Or you could go to http://www.donationcoder.com and post a request there. A bunch of skillful programmers will look at requests and point you to either existing software or may even pick up the request and do it for you. (My username is the same there if you have more questions).
