Programatically Fill PDF Form Fields In Browser Control?
Feb 4, 2012
Basic scenario is that I need to programatically fill out a PDFs text fields that resides on a webserver. The fields will be mapped and filled out with data contained in a CSV. The PDF must be opened in the browser (browser control or ie/ff/chrome/etc) and edited in place. Cannot be downloaded, filled out, and uploaded (it must be filled out and submitted using the submit button in it; I've tried editing the buttons submission path to no avail).Thus far I've put a web browser control on a form and made it navigate to the website, login, and load the PDF file. How do I interact with the PDF file thats open in the web browser control? Looking through various PDF libraries, they seem to mainly interact with a closed pdf located on the harddrive, make the modificatio

I'm getting spotty results trying to build a procedure that queries Yahoo finance, retrieves a stock quote and then passes the HTML body contents to a text variable. Using a WebBrowser control, it works in a 2 step fashion, using a textbox to input the symbol and a button to trigger navigation. After the WebBrowser window fills, I can pull the contents out of the browser window. In this case, it's just one number to keep things simple. The working code appears below:

I have a page open on Internet Explorer, the site uses the Server.Redirect method which basically keeps the page reading "sitename.com/default.aspx" even when you move to different pages.. so with that said I really can't load it within a web browser on my form application.
I need to auto fill out the fields on an external Internet Explorer, not really in need of actually processing the page.

experience on how to create an engine using C# (VB.NET is okay too) that is generic enough to handle most cases of MS Word text fields I need to fill with data I'm getting from a database? In short, I'm about to embark on this little Office automation excursion and I'm hoping a little bit of feedback here.

I have a spreadsheet control on a windows form that I would like to populate with data from an existing worksheet (myworkbook.xls, sheet1). The best solution for me would to be to actually open the workbook on my form (not sure that is possible?), the next best solution would be to fill the spreadsheet control.

I have an ASP.NET page with a Wizard control containing several pages of form fields. The data is collected and inserted to a database from the code behind page. I need to set this form up so you can not only insert, but edit a record as well. Since the form is long and complex, I would rather use the existing one and not make a duplicate one for editing, especially since I want to keep both forms exactly the same and any edits would have to be made to both. But it looks like this is what I need to do if I'm going to databind it. But this would also involve putting the Wizard inside of a FormView, and then I'd have to use FindControl to access any of the fields which would mean altering all my already-existing code (which of course would be time-consuming). So should I manually enter all the values from the code behind instead of databinding it? Which is better, to use a FormView and have duplicate forms (plus have to go in and redo the way I access the fields), or to do everything from the code behind?

The problem is ... it won't accept the Clients in (ClientDS.Clients). ClientsDS is the existing dataset I've created and to which the controls are bound..

Just suppose that I define a structure, and an array such as
Structure Person
Dim First_Name as String
Dim Last_Name as String
[code]....
Can I fill in my list of people using a single line of code for each record? Something like this, it doesn't work, but this shows the sort of thing I mean.
My_List(0) = {'John', 'Smith', 24, '555-1234'}
My_List(1) = {'George', 'Jones', 31, '555-8123'}
My_List(2) = {'Tom', 'Green', 40, '555-3434'}
It's easy enough to fill it in line by line. I could do that without problem. But I want to be able to look at the code and see the contents of each line. Doing it as above would make it easier to read.I could make it a multidimensional array of strings, rather than a structure.If it makes any difference I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

Is there a way to have a desktop vb application take control of an already open browser window? For example, have it mouse click certain coordinates in the window or check if the window contains certain elements.
I've looked at using Microsoft Internet Controls(shdocvw) and MSHTML(IHTMLDocument2) but I am struggling on how to access elements of the browser window (e.g. body.innnerHTML).

I'm trying to create a table in Word using data from a table in Access. There are four fields in the access table that I need. 3 fields are text which I can populate the Word without any issues. However the fourth field is a memo with >255 characters.I'm struggling to come up with the proper code to allow me to populate the Word field with the memo data that has more than 255 characters. The code I have so far is listed below. But when it hits the memo field, it crashes on the line I marked with **. I know it's not text, but I've tried many different field types, but nothing has worked so far.[code]...

I am using a WebBrowser-Control to fill in a webform and then click at a button, this currently results in a standard Download File Dialog (you get these if you download a file using internet explorer), but instead, I have to catch this file and save it automatically with a by me defined name to a specific folder.I am trying to code a little application in vb.net which download the Export-file from my wordpress-blog, and I want to do this completely without user-interaction.Currently everything works, except the downloading of the file.I tried to catch it with the event System.Windows.Controls.WebBrowser.Navigating(ByVal Object, ByVal System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs) but I don't see where to download the file from?

In onw of our application, we have some reports that need very specific margins that are dependant of the printer the user have. It is used to print into preformated paper with blanks to fill and depending of the printer, the printing is off by some margins. To make things worse, we don't actually control what printer is used because it is not an internal application.
The only solution I could think of is to let the user configure the margins somehow. I though I could just dinamycally change the report margins like I did with datasources and actual report ( I have one control that is used to display every reports from my application and it works alright), but I can't seem to find that damn property to do so. There is a margin property on the report viewer but it's for the form display so it doesn't cut it.What I was thinking to do is to define the margins before the user loads the report, i.e. when he clicks on the report button, I load the report, set the margins (or vice-versa is necessary) and then display it.
Before someone mention it, I know the user can, once the report is loaded, change the page setup to fit his needs, but this has two drawbakcs. First one is that it is not saved each time and I need it to be 'saveable' and by users. The second one is that Report viewer seems to have some bugs when the regional setting aren't set to what it's expecting and we can't force the users to changes their setting to accomodate one application.

After taking a few years off from programming, I decided to start learning vb.net. I have created a user control that contains a picture box. I added some custom properties to the picture box that will hold general string data from a database.
My problem is that the user control is programatically created during run time, and during this time a DoubleClick event handler is added for the picture box that is within the user control.
I need to be able to set the custom properties for the picture box during the creation of the user control, so that when the control (picture box) is double clicked I can read these values but am unsure on how to access them.
The picture box is the entire size of the user control, or I would just add the custom properties right to the user control and add the DoubleClick event handler to that. However, double clicking needs to be done on the picture box since it takes up the entire user control, unless anyone has an idea to trigger the DoubleClick event of the user control when the picture box is double clicked.

If I need access to the value of a user control's property BEFORE PreRender, would I need to base the custom control off of one of the preexisting data controls (repeater, listview,etc.)?One of my user controls features a gridview control that is configured based on the user control's properties on which it resides. Several of the key properties alter the SQL Statement for the underlying recordsource. I'm now in a situation where the property that sets the WHERE statement for the SQL Statement needs to tied to a value in the user control's parent FormView. Think of the formview as displaying a customer detail record. The user control takes the customer's account number and then displays data from a related table such as Customer Contact Names. Since the gridview is created before the control's prerender event, working within the prerender event doesn't seem efficient.

I have managed to automate the following page: https://post.craigslist.org/atl/S/msg/none/x and even click the "Continue" button, but I noticed that my vb 2008 program is creating an infinite loop and tries to click "Continue" buttons on following pages. I only want my program to click the continue button once, fill out more data on the next page and then click another continue button on a later page. But I need the following code to end on the first page before I can continue coding for the following pages so that the web browser doesn't go crazy.Here is the code that I am using and not sure if this is called an infinite loop, but that is what it seems to be doing:
theElementCollection = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("button")
For Each curElement As HtmlElement In theElementCollection
If curElement.GetAttribute("value").Equals("Continue") Then[code].......

I am wondering if anyone has any idea how to make the controls stack and fill up the available space left by a control if the control is hidden or removed from the UltraGridBagLayoutPanel.
Example:
[Textbox 1]
[Textbox 2]
[Textbox 3]
[Textbox 4]
[Textbox 5]
If I hide [Textbox 3] as of now, it will disperse the space left equally and pad the remaining text boxes with the space. However, I would like it to do this...
[Textbox 1]
[Textbox 2]
[Textbox 4]
[Textbox 5]
Where all the text boxes will move up and [Textbox 4] will completely consume the space left by [Textbox 3].

I have successfully added textboxes to a form at runtime. I have also succesfully added an event handler to these same textboxes. What I'm having trouble understanding is how to refer to these textboxes programmatically after they have been added. Specifically, how do I;
1) Retrieve user data entered in those textboxes without an event handler
2) Find a specific one of those textboxex later (is looping thru all controls of type "textbox" the only way)?
purpose of find is so that I can set the value of the corresponding textbox programatically, based on some criteria Here is the code (all within in a for loop, where intvararycount is incrementing to a set limit) I have used to add the Textboxes to a Panel on a Form;
