I am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...

View 1 RepliesI have a datagridview with a bunch of columns, one of them being an Image type (DataGridViewImageColumn).What I want to do is basically check to see what the file path of the image in one of those cells is.
I've tried doing like:
If (DataGridView1.Item(7, Number).Value.ToString = "some path" then
'do stuff here
End if
but it always says DataGridView1.Item(7, Number).Value.ToString is just "System.Drawing.Bitmap", instead of the actual file path of the image in the cell.I've also tried the above, without the .ToString, but I get an error saying System.ArgumentException was unhandled (Argument 'Prompt' cannot be converted to type 'String'.)

I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.

docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)
this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.
I want to list all open Windows Explorer windows with their active path in a ListBox. The app should refresh the ListBox if the explorer window is navigated to a different path.
For e.g. two explorer windows are open. One is navigated to C:Windows and the other is navigated to D:Stuff. When the app it run, it adds C:Windows and D:Stuff to the ListBox. Then, the user navigates to a different folder in one of the open explorer windows like C:Windowssystem32. The app should then refresh the ListBox and list C:Windowssystem32 and D:Stuff instead.
