I am having one heck of an issue with a webbrowser control I am using. As part of my job, I am working on creating a tool to automate an older system that we still use. The part that is being automated is web-based, and the group running the automation does not have access to any automation tools like QTP. In order to give them something they can use, the idea was to build an application just for them. In this application, I have everything working perfectly, with the exception of the most important part: the entry of a policy number. The policy number goes into a textbox, and then the user presses a button. A part of the automation sequence involves the use of a timer.
If I manually navigate to the appropriate page and put the .SetAttribute statement in a button action on my form, it works perfectly fine. However, if I put the .SetAttribute statement anywhere that is being controlled by the timer ticking, it does not work.So, this works:
Private Sub btnTest_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTest.Click Me.wbPrestige.Document.Window.Frames("WORKSPACE").Document.GetElementById("policynumber").SetAttribute("value", "1234567") End Sub
but this does not:
Private Sub timerLoad_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timerLoad.Tick Select Case currentStatus Case Status.wait_for_retrieving
[code]....
As a note, I do not have the Select statement in the Tick action; I have it in its own little sub. However, since it functions the same way no matter where it is, and to save space, I combined everything here. Also, at the time of the timer firing and setting things into motion to enter the policy number, the page is already fully loaded, so I don't think it is an issue with that, though I could be wrong.
It does not throw an error. The "1234567" above is passed in as a string, and doing a watch on it at run-time does show that the value is actually in there. It just seems like the .SetAttribute is not registering on the textbox. I have tried a few things ranging from "what-if" all the way to "that-is-so-dumb-it-just-might-work." Nothing seems to do the trick. I have tried sleeping everything for a few seconds just to see if there was an issue there. I have tried issuing the .SetAttribute command a few times in a row thinking it just wasn't taking the first time. Since setting .Focus() didn't seem to work for it, I even went so far as using SendKeys to move focus to the textbox on one attempt and API calls for mouse clicks (to click inside of the textbox) on another attempt. As a last crazy attempt, I had the Select statement doing a .PerformClick on btnTest (which works if I navigate to the page manually).
I did this before but I completely forgot how I did it... I have a website that has a 'div id', I want to get that text and put it in my textbox on my app.
I think it was something simpe like the following; TextBox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("IDname").GetAttribute("value") = TextBox1.Text
I want to set Set position of text in textbox.. Example. ----------------------------------- set "5" to x=25 in line of Textbox ----------------------------------- Is it possible?
I am binding a textbox's text value setting to my a variable in my configuration file. I only consider the input from this textbox to be valid if it's an integer number bigger than 1. Right now what I was doing is letting the user write whatever he wanted in the box, and I'd only let him save the settings after calling a validation function. The problem seems to be that my binding variable in the Settings class seems to be being updated as soon as the textbox is being edited, and that's a behaviour i'd like to skip. How can I do this?
As some of you are aware of, I am fairly new to VB.NET. I am trying to learn as much as I can. I have a textbox which is set to multiline. It's setup to accept a maximum of 500 characters (10 lines of 50). First of all, since it's size is fixed, how can I remove the right bar on the left as im not using it (the scrolling bar).
#2, once a user click on a button, I disable the textbox and display the text. I can set the background color, however it looks like when the textbox is disabled, text is gray and can't be changed. A fix I found is to use a label and hide the textbox, but are there any easier way ?
I have a label in the webbrowser. called "R_Email"
i know how to write text from the textbox to the web, but i need the opposite, hwo can i read the "R_Email" [its a textbox in the web].. how can i read the R_Email to my textbox.
for example. lets assume in the R_Email textbox. i typed: "Hello!"i want to click a button. and then the textbox1.text will be "Hello!" ((or whatever i wrote on the R_Email text))
ok so I am already able to send certain text to the webbrowsers textbox on pageload. NOW I want to add text to it if I push button2. basically I want my program to add more text to the webbrowsers textbox only in certain cases.
here is the code I have to add to the textbox in the webbrowser (it doesnt have a "name" so I have to do it like this):
vbcode Dim HTML4 As HtmlDocument Dim HTMLI4 As HtmlElement HTML4 = WebBrowser1.Document
[Code].....
for my testing I am doing the above on a button1.click. So HOW could I successfully add text to that textbox in the webbrowser if I did a button2.click? For example, if I wanted to add the text: "Billy loves to play baseball". does that make sense?? I tried putting the same code in a button2.click command and all it does is erases and replaces the text into the textbox. I want to add it to the text that is already there.
When I press Button1, I want to get some text from my website that is loaded in Webbrowser1, in a textbox. The text is: "Have a nice day". It doesn't have any nametag in it, just in a <p></p> tag. How can I do this without using the name= stuff?
okay so in webbrowser1 is there any way to grab text from it's textbox like say i go to google and type something in the textbox hit send can i grab the text from that textbox ?
I am attempting to send a string to a textbox in the webbrowser control and the page I am trying to do this with has random name= and value= fields which makes it difficult to use the typical methods for placing text in the textbox. I have spent quite a bit of time searching and attempting to figure this out and I'm stumped.
i have a textbox a button and a webbrowser What i need is when i hit the button whatever info is in the text box will be inserted into the webbrowser text area. Website that the webbrowser goes to[URL]..
<label>Just write or copy and paste your proxy IP addresses and ports to then click in <span>Check Proxy</span> button!<br><em>(one IP:Port per line)</em></label> <textarea name="proxylist" class="textarea defaultTextActive" cols="22" rows="11">
I am currently trying to be able to set the HTML in a WebBrowser control. The bit that I am having the trouble with is that when I go to put the HTML in the WebBrowser control on Form.Load or Form.Activated the WebBrowser1.Document.Body is Nothing. This means when I try to do; WebBrowser1.Document.Body.InnerHtml = value I'm getting an exception as I am trying to use it.I have also tried setting the HTML on the DocumentCompleted event for the WebBrowser control, but that event doesn't fire when I load the form (to be honest I didn't think it would but it was suggested somewhere on the Internet).
I'm setting up a program that displays a website that has a FileUpload object.I wanted to have my program set the default path for the FileUpload object but I can't seem to get it to work.[code]It doesn't seem to be working, however.Does anybody how I can get my desired result?
I have a simple exe that loads a page from my site in a webbrowser where users need to enter login details to get on a secure page. Now everything works ok, except I have to use php for this and yeah cookies. So, I want to know if it's possible to set a special location for the cookies, since as some members report, they clean the cookies daily and this makes my exe "forget" that they are logged in. Any way to store cookies on same location with the exe so it won't get deleted by 3rd party tools like ccleaner or so.
I have a WebBrowser control in a VB.NET WinForms app. I am able to set the default printer from code and print without prompting the user. However, there is also a print button that shows the PrintDialog. If this action is done first the page will print.Then if I try to programmatically print later (again setting the default printer to some other printer) the it will print to the last printer selected in the PrintDialog box even though I am resetting the default and see the default printer being changed in Windows.It works fine unless ShowPrintDialog has a printer chosen first. Once that occurs it seems to always use that printer no matter what I do.
For Each strPrinter In PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters If strPrinter.Contains("My Printer") Then wScript.SetDefaultPrinter(strPrinter)
Form1 shows form2 and form2 shows form3. From form2 I can change the value of the textbox in form1 but from form3 I can't change the textbox value in form2.Please can you look at the application and correct it so I can change the value in the textbox of form2 from form3.
I am not going to explain my whole project or why I want it do this...Ok... so for example my myfile.txt file would contain the word "hello"ashuming this would work (which it didnt):dim myfile as String = application.startuppath("/myfile.txt")on form1 load: textbox1.text = myfileunfortunately instead of it sending the value of the file it sends to file location.
This is the only way I know how to obtain the info I need for this equation but if generated again with no input from the textboxes I get an error. Is there anyway to bypass this if its generated a second time with no inputs?
I'm doing an application for a school to help them keep track of student attendance and because I'm rather new to VB 2008 .NET I'm sure I'm missing something simple.see the screen shot and attached sample application showing the problem I am having.
The screen shot shows 3 open forms. I'm not able to get the value from the 3rd open form into the Student ID textbox of the 2nd form even though my messagebox shows a value is really in there.The attached application has 3 forms similar to the production application I'm writing which also includes 3 forms. Could you look at the application and tell me what we are missing to get the textbox data in the 2nd form to show up?
