What I'm trying to do is load a URL and grab the text from it.The text on the file I'm using is simply a 1, that's all. However, when the messagebox shows, it's empty. I've tried using google.com as the URL and got the same response, so that means it's somewhere in my code here.
I use webbrowser as File Explorer.
If you click folder it opens new folder contents in WB window but if you click html document it opens in EXTERNAL viewer.
How do you get html document to open in WB while exploring ?
I am currently working on some software for a taxi company, and we have been asked to create a webbrowser (only simple) for the users which we allow to use it, to view traffic updates from a website that we already know about.
But...
We dont want them to be able to navigate away from this site via links to google adverts Etc...
Basically we don't want them to be able to surf the net at all, only be able to work!

I need to know how to control an object inside a frame on a web page. Actually, all I need to do is to be able to change the innerHTML of the body of the frame. The frame's id is "content_ifr". I've tried using the "getElementByID" method of the document to get the frame, and then setting that frame's document's body's innerHTML, but it didn't work.
View 1 RepliesI have VS 2008 and am working in VB.Net forms.I have a webbrowser control where I am trying to control input fields that are dynamically created. If a text field has proper handles such as id and name tags there aren't any problems.
For example, I am trying to work with twitter for posts. I know twitter has an API but I want to work with many similar systems and want to avoid the API as its case specific and I want to scale things within the VB.Net form. The login fields for twitter are easily handled, however the posting field once your logged in is just a text area with a class. There is a tagname but I have been unable to post using the tagname element.Any examples of posting to twitter without the API ?

View 10 RepliesI am trying to get the source code from a webpage. The WebBrowser control is giving me the information that I am looking for. However, I want to use HttpWebRequest, but its giving me different source code than the WebBrowser DocumentText. How can I get the same source code as WebBrowser using HttpWebRequest?
WebBrowser Code:
WebBrowser1.Navigate("[URL]" & txtUrl.Text)
textbox1.Text = WebBrowser1.DocumentText
WebBrowser Result: [URL]
HttpWebRequest Code:
Dim request As System.Net.HttpWebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(url)
request.KeepAlive = False
request.Timeout = 10000
Dim response As System.Net.HttpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim sr As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
Dim sourcecode As String = sr.ReadToEnd()
HttpWebRequest Result: [URL]
I was wonder how to submit on this html code <input type="submit" class="button" value="Login">
i have tried using
WebBrowser1.Document.All("Login").Click
but it doesnt work for me?
what I did was, I coded a HTTP web request "Browser". It's not a real browser but it's emulating a browser. It works fine, I'm using it to perform some searches without the clicking sound or audio from the pages (stupid ads).
Then thing is, it returns back the page's source code. There is a tag called "Block1". Now Since it's a string I can't just use str.document.getelementbyid("Block1").getattribute("value")but if the webbrowser can "emulate" then source code sent back from the HTTPBrowser then I can use it.
how can i get the html code via WebBrowser control?
View 1 RepliesBasically, what I'm doing is navigating to a website with a backgroundworker.In the WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted event, I put code to fill in a form and I set the value of a boolean called "formFinished" to true once the form has been finished and submitted. The problem I'm having is that it only posts data to the second website, no matter the order of the websites. I'm wondering how this is possible since I have a boolean in state which only gets set to true once the first form has been submitted. So I have no clue as to why it only submits the second one, but not the first one.

View 2 Repliesthere's an img src=blah on a web page that I am loading with a webbrowser control, and I want to alter it to say img src=blahblah instead ... What I've been doing so far is waiting for the document to complete, doing a .replace, then saving the file to the hard drive, and finally navigating to that local altered version.I was wondering if it's possible to skip the step of replacing and reloading the local page, and instead, just dynamically alter the original source code of the page AS it's loading the first time. Can this be done?
View 2 RepliesI'm trying to get the HTML from a frame in a website which is loaded into a WebBrowser in my application.
I have this WebBrowser so that the user can login easily by putting the username and password on the login form of the page so that i can get the HTML code from the protected page.
However, i have to read the frame code while the WebBrowser being on the main page because if i enter the frame, it redirects me to the main page again so there is no way of reading the frame code by entering it.
So i don't know how to read the frame HTML code of a website[url]...

I'm trying to get a local HTML file to display within a WebBrowser in a VB.NET program. I'm using the code below, however it doesn't seem to work, and I can't figure out why:[code]The first method produces the error "" in the Debug console when I go to run it. If I try it with out the @, I get an empty white page. If I change the address, however ,so I know its a broken URL, I get a 404 message, which makes it seem like it's finding the file but not rendering it?The second method does the same as the first except no error is produced, its like its finding the text but doing nothing.

View 1 RepliesMy code requires the webbrowser to be up so I can sendkeys something onto a website form. For some reason, changing the attribute doesn't work with this website. When I'm doing other task, such as web browsing or something else, the following code works occassionally.
AppActivate("xyz")
WebBrowser1.Focus()
Is it possible to sendkeys to a website form in the background? This would be the ideal solution. What other command do I need to consistently pull up my application into the foreground?
