I checked the documentation and you can get screen dump (screenshot of a window) saved in your pc and I guess that is possible even if the window is the background. That should make it possible to get any coordinate color in that window as well but I don't see the option in the documention. Is that possible?

There are options for that. Relative coordinates are limited to the window and absolute coordinates are based on the entire screen. So you can use relative coordinates for specific windows.

For example, if you wanted to click on a coordinate relative to window you would look under mouse and use one of the "relative" instructions (found here: viewforum.php?f=168):
Mouse.Click at coordinate relative to window("250", "500", "left", "nameOfWindow", "yes")

If you need help calculating relative or absolute coordinates, look under "window". You can find instructions like: Window.Calculate relative coordinates("Untitled - Notepad", "yes", "300", "300", "varForX", "varForY")

Yes but I believe this only for the x and y coordinate. My question is, is it possible to test a coordinate color of a window that is in the background? For example I have the game open in the back ground and I am browsing in chrome maximised, is that possible? or does the coordinate next to be visible?

To check a color coordinate, pixel pattern, or image it does need to be visible. You can click on a location using send keys to windows but not to check.

If you need to check a minimized window you should use memory addresses instead. Use a program like cheat engine to get the memory addresses. There's instructions/criteria in BEM to use the addresses once you find them (to do the checks via the memory addresses instead).

I have a question about the screendump command for "window.". Is it able to take a screenshot when the window in the background? also about sendkeys is it able to send keys when its in the background?

If the answer is yes for the first one then it should be able to get coordinate color even for window that is not visible just like it is able to take a screenshot

Don't think you can take a screendump for an individual window. However, you can freeze the screendump cache and use it while the window is minimized. But anytime you need to update it you will need to show the window...unless you use memory addresses like I suggested.

Yes, you can send keys to any window whether minimized or in the background.

As far as I know, only if you have froze screendump cache.

I've noticed that OBS and other recording software are able to record games even when they are in the background. That should mean that it is possible to at least capture games when they are in the background, is that something you would look into implementing into blueye macro? that would take this program into the next level.

The developer has a list of features that he wanted for updates. I'll point this out to him; see if he wants to add it.
