This is a semi continuation off of "WHY DOES THIS NOT WORK". I recieved wonderful help off of that my questions where answered exactly. But i have another q. Is there a way to get the pixelcolor of a pixel on the currently active screen without taking a bitmap? How i am utilyzing this i need to save hardrive space. I am trying to set-up a deleteing loop so i can run the program longer but this would be so much more simpler.


TY:D

Are you talking about getting the pixel color of an active form at a certain location (x, y)?

yes witout taking a screenshot then analying it, i just want to go to strait analization. I ahve the other type working so i have a little understanding in that process area but not with real-time stuff.

Hmm...I guess I still don't get what you want. You should be able to get the form's backcolor using Me.Backcolor. Is there something else you want? Can you give a few more details?

yes i am declaring constantant of color in the startup of the program. I then am taking a screenshot of everything scanning it for that color then clicking where that color is(off the form). My specific problem i belive after further testing is that each screenshot i take fills up the clipboad more. I cant seem to unload it or eampty it and when its full the progrma crashes. I have temperaily and crudly solved it by haveing the program start itself after 20 screenshots then exit. This disposes everything even the clipboad then starts the process all over again. I wish i could find a way to eampty the clipboard, disasociate the pictures from it in the program, or not even take a screenshot but still scan the pictures without compying anytihing into the clipboard.

I have not tried it, but I think to clear the clipboard you use:

Clipboard.SetDataObject(New DataObject)

Now, you have to realize that this will clear everything from the clipboard so you might irritate some users if you clear their Word document (or something else), so you should warn them before you do this.

sadly i can say it doesnt i wish it did. Everytime i take a screenshot with my app my mem usage goes up by 8mb and after every ss i try to clear the clipboard like that but to no avail
