GetPixel in windows api seems to work fine, but it just takes ridiculously large

  • 0

GetPixel in windows api seems to work fine, but it just takes ridiculously large amount of time (several minutes) for a screen of resolution as large as 1920×1080. I am suspecting that it is the GetPixel function, which probably takes several centiseconds to process, is lagging the whole thing behind. I was wondering if directly accessing the memory map could solve this problem? Or is there a better approximation method? What i’m hoping to achieve is searching less than 5 seconds.

    You could take a screen shot of the current screen, and search with the bitmap you receive. That way, you’ll be accessing your own memory, and it’ll be much faster than calling GetPixel() 2073600 times.
