Parameterizing Regions (images) under Stores in a function

[sameerjade]

Hello,

I am trying to parameterize regions (images) under Stores but it seems to not work. I tried with these 2 methods, 'Region.Check' and 'Region.Compare'. Here is what I have tried:

First workflow:

function ValidateRegion1(myRegion, transparentParam, mouseParam, pixelTolParam, colorTolParam, maskParam)
{
onscreenObj = myAppWindow;
Regions.myRegion.Check(onscreenObj, transparentParam, mouseParam, pixelTolParam, colorTolParam, maskParam);
}

Run: ValidateRegion1(myRegion1);

Result: It fails with error: "TypeError: region.Check is not a function"

Second workflow:

function ValidateRegion2(myRegion, transparentParam, mouseParam, pixelTolParam, colorTolParam, maskParam)
{
onscreenObj = myAppWindow.Picture();
Regions.Compare(myRegion, onscreenObj, transparentParam, mouseParam, pixelTolParam, colorTolParam, maskParam);
}

Run: ValidateRegion2(myRegion1);

Result: It fails with error: Cannot get a picture object from the input parameter. Although I passed the Picture method to my 'myAppWindow' object.

Is there a way to parameterize regions so that I can create and use a function for multiple region comparisons?

I found this link but here they are showing how to parameterize the 'onscreenObj' object but still hard-coding the region object. My onscreenObj object is going to be same but I have several regions to use for comparison, so I want to parameterize the region object.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

It is my guess that you pass string as the value of myRegion input parameter in both cases.

I.e. you call  ValidateRegion1() function like this:  ValidateRegion1('region1', ...)

If my guess is correct, then you should use eval() or evaluate() function depending on what is provided by your script language:

eval('Regions.' + myRegion + '.Check(onscreenObj, transparentParam, mouseParam, pixelTolParam, colorTolParam, maskParam)');

and

Regions.Compare(eval(myRegion), onscreenObj, transparentParam, mouseParam, pixelTolParam, colorTolParam, maskParam);

Does this help?

The eval() function works perfectly! That is exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Yes, you are correct that I was passing string as the value of myRegion input parameter in both cases.
