Hello All,
I'm developing an app and want to capture menu title (from main menu
bar and status menu bar)along with selected menu window. So far i'm
able to capture the selected menu window but couldn't quite figure out
how to capture the menu title.
Method that I tried to capture menu title is:
1. Capture the entire desktop as an image on selecting a menu .
2. From the image, read the color value from the pixels just above the
selected menu window, comparing it with the color value from next
pixel along the width of the menu bar.
3. If the color matches or if the difference between the colors is
marginally very less then repeat step 2 incrementing a counter to
keep track of no. of pixels scanned.
4. capture the menu title considering counter value as the menu title
length.
But this method results in partial or no menu title being captured
since the color components vary due the gradient effect of menu bar
color.
Am I missing anything here? If anybody in this mailing list has tried
out something similar to what I'm trying to achieve your inputs are
much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Cauvery
