At my company we use Auto Hotkey to do screen scrapes, I was wondering if there is a way to do something similar but with VB? Obviously it wouldn't be a win forms app as it's more of using send keys and mouse movements and cutting and pasting from the host software.
View 5 RepliesI wrote a quick web screen scraper in VB.Net. I couldn't believe how incredibly easy it was to do! Now I have all of this HTML that I can parse, peruse, and purge. I have access to this one site in particular. It requires a login and password, both of which I have.
Here is the problem: I want to log into this site programatically, that is, pass the userid and password from my program. Without this, I cannot get to the screens that appear after a successful login is completed.
I am thinking that the way to get around this limitation is to somehow TRAP what the site passes from my browser session to its server. Then I can simulate that action from within my program.Before anyone raises an eyebrow... no, I am not trying to hack anything. I just want to process the screens that come up after I log in!
I am trying to write a screen scraper. I found this code online that returns the html from a webpage. The page I would like to retrieve text from uses javascript, so when I run this on the URI all I get back is javascript and no text.

View 1 Repliescan somebody give ThreadPool example for application thats needs to get information to datagridview from thousands of sources? My application needs to work fast and without freezing and lag, but I cant figure out this threadpool thing. And would be nice if you could add this thing to example that when I set domainupdown value to 25 as example, it sets threads to 25. So its making work 25x faster. I haven't find any good example for this, only some C# examples but they haven't work after i converted those to vb.net.
View 1 RepliesI wanted to make a screen recorder (not screen capture) program, but I am not entirely sure how to get it started. I have seen many videos and things on how to make one, but all of these just take multiple pictures and then don't compile them into a movie file, and I don't want to take many pictures (unless that is the only way possible.) I am using Visual Basic 2010 Express and I have looked at the Windows Media Encoder, but I can't seem to figure out how to use/implement it (yes, I have downloaded and installed it.) Maybe I can use some kind of ActiveX control?

View 9 RepliesI was wondering can you get a program made w/ vb to click on a certain part of the screen outside of the program? and also, can you copy information from outside the program in another window and store it in the program as a variable.
View 1 RepliesBTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
View 11 RepliesI know that when you are working in vb.net, you are using forms, so in conclusion you will have an application with multi-windows. My questions is next: How you can do it, to have all the application screen in a main form. I have an application which assists me to manage the products and the customers. Normally with the forms, if I press on: Add new customer or Add a new product, I will have a new windows pop-uped. I want to have both on the same form. When I press on new custom to see the specific screen and when I press on the new product to see its screen. I tried now using panels and tableLayoutPanels using the property visible, but I'm sure it is not the best way to do it.
View 9 RepliesI am creating a "form1" and adding "WebBrowser1" . Let's say the URL that I put on the WebBrowser1 has a username and password. So that, this will require a on screen keyboard in order to type the username and password. In this case, I do not want to use external OSK (on screen keyboard), what I want is to create some numerik numbers or letters on my form1 with buttons and then type it on the URL.
View 7 RepliesI'm new to developing and I work for a small company. I do have previous Microsoft Access experience and have used VBA code to enhance Access applications. But now I have been asked to develop a form for data entry using VB.NET. Is it possible to create a data entry screen from VB.NET that adds, saves, retrieves and manipulates data without using a database for storing the data. Users will not have Microsoft Access (or any other database) installed on their machines. They will only have the .exe file that I create after compiling the VB.NET application.
View 7 RepliesI would like to create my own custom login screen for windows xp, so instead of typing my password, just put my finger on a fingerprinter sensor and my app will read the fingerprint and see how it is, then make the login itself.
View 6 RepliesMy touch screen keyboard is highly customizable interface and has every component I need except for sending keys, anyone see a problem with this. Originally when I was creating it I was going to use the Forms.SendKeys.Send() but it's a WPF application... no go. For starters VB.Net in its infinite wisdom decided it would not handle default form messages. Go figure.
Or perhaps, this is my real problem, I can't get the WPF application to stop getting focus. I want it to act like the windows touch keyboard, but Every action that occurs in the transparent WPF makes that application the active one. I want events to still occur but I need the active window to be the window you wish to type into, like notepad.
Any Suggestions on what I should do, to make my WPF not focusable and to send keyboard buttons to the focused (or other) window? PS, I'm using WPF in Visual Studio 2010 in Vb.Net (I can use C# Code to!)
I would like to create a login screen with username/password. The login screen should validate username/password before the user is redirected to the next screen.
