[Rwp] HotSpotClicker

[Jim Snowbarger]

This image matching capability of AHK is something that HSC does not do.

I don't know about specific AHK solutions, but Autohotkey can do quite a
lot. |You can of course perform mouse clicks at specific screen coordinates.
The coordinates can either be absolute or relative to the active window.
Than you can directly interact with controls in a particular window as long
as AHK is able to find these controls via their handles. Sadly, in the case
of applications that do not use standard controls, this is often impossible.
Furthermore, you can search the screen for text or specific colors.
Than there is a function called 'imagesearch' or something like that.
You give it a path to an image file, basically a kind of screenshot of what
you want to find on the screen and if the image is found, AHK will return
the screen coordinates at which this image begins. AHK can do a lot more
(like execute programs and call functions from DLLs), but I'm not a pro at
it and not a programmer and so I don't know what else you'd be interested to
know about it. You can even create entire GUIs with it, but in this case
this is not too relevant, I guess.
Hope that helped at least a little.
