Text search based on image
Search a text on the screen, the text first will be converted into an image, and then the searching process uses the image to match
the text in the specified area on the screen, then return the X and Y coordinates into the variables for the subsequent actions.
You may use "Text search based on image" to retrieve a string's position and then use "Click mouse button"
to click it. For example, you may use this way to select an item from a list box or combo box. Unlike the instruction "Image search", you just specify a string rather than a bitmap file name.
