Hello,

i have a few questions.

How can I detect a button with text recognition and then get the co-ords if I take a print screen of my desktop and there is a button there?

What I mean is that I have a little picture of a button named "Install" which then will compare itself with a picture of the whole desktop to then find the coordinates of the buttons location.

-------

I am also wondering how to do a reboot and then make it automatically open up the application on loading the desktop?

Why i am wondering is because I have to install a software which requires a reboot, and I want to restore the session before I did the reboot so it can move onto its next task, which is system check.

Sorry for bad english.
Kindly Regards,
Zelsius

Hello shakil0304003,

I haven't tried anything, i'm just preparings plans and such.

I looked at the image recognition and it didn't seem like the right thing i am looking for. But i also looked at text recognition and it seemed like you needed Office installed to use the MODI function.

It does look like what i am looking for, but i'm not sure wether it is only for printing text from an image to a word document or not, as i need to recognise the text and then ge the coordinations from them.

About the restore session thing, i don't even have a clue about where i shall begin to look.
Mostly this is because i am new to C# and i don't really have much experience about it yet, but yeah.

Okay i solved the reboot issue, what i did is that the software adds itself into the run on start up registry and then it saves the tasks that has been finished into a INI file before it reboots.

In other words:
Apply changes - Adds it self to run on start up - saves changes to INI file - reboots - starts it self again - moves on to task 2 - apply changes for task 2 - terminates it self - shutdown.

But the only problem i have now is to get the software to recognise a button and then click it.
Can anyone give me a lead on how i shall work around this issue?

Cheers!

kindly Regards,
Zelsius
