    Code:
    COLORREF RGB(37, 124, 244);

    I don't quite understand what you are asking, but what I think you are asking is this:

    "How can I find the RGB color value of a specific pixel on the screen at some coordinate (x,y)?"

    Is that correct? Or are you asking this question:

    "How can I find all pixels with coordinates (x,y) that have the specified RGB value which I know?"

    Whatever the case...I don't think COLORREF is what you want. It just stores some RGB value in memory as a "color". It has nothing to do with (x,y) coordinates.

    >> but I dont know what els to do.

    a book perhaps?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    If you are trying to get pixel x,y from pixel offset:

    Code:
    int pixel_x = offset &#37; (width);
    int pixel_y = offset / (width);
