Using Webbrowser To Automate Selecting Items From A Treeview?
Jun 3, 2012
Using Webbrowser, I've managed to automate PDF downloads for several of the websites used by our company. I'm still a beginner at this process.Many of our PDF downloads, however, are from a Wells Fargo service called Wholesale Lockbox Image. The problem is that this Wells Fargo site expects the user to select items from a treeview as part of his query criteria. I don't know how to make Webbrowser select these treeview nodes programmatically.
Although I don't know anything about Java, the treeview is definitely a Java control. I know this for several reasons.(1) The instructions on the website specifically state that the the treeview won't draw until Java is installed.
(2) A standard Java splashcreen appears in the little treeview pane until the treeview actually begins to draw. The HTML code has an <OBJECT> tag which includes this attribute: ARCHIVE = "JWLTreeView2.jar"
Using Microsoft's mshtml library, I've tried looping through the elements on the page but can't find anything corresponding to the nodes in the treeview. I've also tried applying EnumChildWindows to the IE window, but here too I found nothing specific to the nodes. When I hover Spy++ over the treeview pane, it only identifies the pane as a whole, not the individual nodes.Furthermore, even when I select the nodes using my mouse, I don't seem to detect any corresponding alteration of the Webbrowser's HTML document (unless I overlooked it somehow).Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make Webbrowser select the treeview nodes programmatically?Oddly, I noticed that if the user saves the webbpage to his harddrive and then loads it into his browser from there, he can still see the treeview and select items (even without logging in to Wells Fargo), although if I bring the page home, the treeview is gone. I guess this means that IE is storing/caching the java file somewhere on the company machine, although I don't know if this fact would help solve my problem...

I have been attempting to automate a process in a webbrowser control. When I attempt to fill out the form and submit, I get a false negative response (meaning all the data in the fields are correct but I am getting an incorrect response back from what I should be getting). I have determined that this problem is due to the fact that when I manually type out the data in the input fields a javascript is being fired. I know that you are able to invoke the javascript, but as I have no real knowledge about javascript and the script is rather complex I am stuck.
A temporary solution for me has been to use SendKeys, but this is no real solution at all. If the window loses focus, the entire process goes out the window. I cannot just use the .SetAttribute or .InnerText methods for the elements in the window.
I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with WatiN but I have used it recently while looking for other means to do what I need to do here. Watin works, but instead of allowing me to use an embedded browser object it shells new browser windows. Anyhow, with WatiN I am able to minimize or hide the browser window and the code will still execute. This leads me to believe that there is a way to simulate keypress events in a browser window while making sure that the specific element is the active element.
I have searched all over the internet for this (but am sure I overlooked a few things in frustration) and have yet to find a solution that works for me.

I looked all over the forum posts here and didn't see the answer to a question concerning iframes within the webbrowser control (there were similar issues however). The forum has a classifieds section that allows members to post threads daily. I have a message that I like to send once every day to a forum and decided that it would be best to achieve this programmatically. However, I noticed in the visual basic 2008 webbrowser control, that it doesn't seem to automate the iFrames within the browser using the htmlelementcollection codes.

I am trying to automate login and navigation to a website using the WebBrowser control. I can successfully logon to the site using the wb control but after that I can't seem to get access to the newly loaded document's elements within the same routine. I check for ReadyState Complete and IsBusy but they don't seem to be working. There don't appear to be any frames being used at all so I can't figure out why this won't work. I know that the wb control is successfully logging in because I can see the page load in the wb control. However, after the page loads I try to access the HTMLDocument for the new page (after logging in) and it is either set to Nothing or it's the previous page's HTML. I've tried putting in a Sleep to wait for the page to finish before trying to access the HTMLDocument on the new page but it still doesn't work. If I create a button on my form that accesses the HTMLDocument and click it it works fine. I can't figure out how to ensure that the entire page has finished loading within my routine. I tried putting a switch into the DocumentCompleted event but that doesn't work either.

I have seen several threads about automating several aspects of html elements (buttons, textboxes, checkboxes, radio buttons etc...) but I didn't see any specific codes to auto-click "Hyperlinks". How would I invoke a click on any hyperlink located on any given webpage if I needed to?

I'm developing an VB.NET application which utilizes a webbrowser control. The browser control needs to navigate to a simple page which prompts the user for their user name and password. However, this prompt is not simply a web form, but it is a completely new dialog window. I need a way to automate filling in the username and password in this dialog by using locally stored credentials, so that there is no interruption in the webbrowser control's navigation. The only information that I have been able find so far that might be useful in solving this problem, involves using windows hooks in the user32.dll to intercept and negotiate with these windows at a low level.

When I select a node from treeview, it correctly shows the child form. However, when I close the child form and select the same node from the parent form, nothing happens.
Private Sub TreeView2_AfterSelect(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView2.AfterSelect
Dim intNode As Int16 = 0

I have a TreeView that I am using for display purposes only. I don't want the user to be able to select any of the nodes. Setting the enabled property of the form to False doesn't suffice since it changes the entire look of the nodes.
I tried canceling the select action in the BeforeExpand event. It kind of works. It selects, then de-selects the item. I'm going to play around with other events to see

I have a simple ASPX page with a listbox and a button. Listbox has about 8-10 items in it. After the user selects an item (listbox is multi-select) and clicks the button, I'm iterating through the items to get the selected one like so:
For Each Item As ListItem In lstLetters.Items
If Item.Selected Then
Dim LetterID As String[code]....
When I step through the code, I select the first item from the listbox. I setup a watch on the 'Item' variable. The code will iterate through each of the items -- but Item.Selected always reads 'False'.I double-check the page, and sure enough my item is selected on the form.What the heck is going on?

How do I express, in the code, all the items in the textbox? So far all I could come up with was this:

But it isn't working.

Should: take items and fill checked list box with possible tours that the company can receive (this is done and working) i.e. for 2012, Titleist gets X, Y, and Z; so there are two checked listboxes for 2012: lvl 1 and lvl 2, username specific Both have lists "X, Y, Z" in that order, lvl 1 and 2 is for the permissions level, 1 is lvl 1 and 2 is alex's 0 marking for full details code goes through and checks if lvl 1 is marked, if so it checks the tour in the lvl1 check box if zero is marked, finds the tour in lvl 2 and lvl 1 and checks both items if a tour exists for company but not for the user, the checkbox exists but neither is checked

I was just wondering weather it was possible to make it so that if I press the first a item on listbox1 then the first item on listbox 2 is selected aswell. For example I would like to have 2 listboxes lst1 and lst2 and I would like it so that when I select the first item on lst 1 then the first item on lst2 is automatically selected and when I select the 3rd item on lst1 then the 3rd item on lst2 is also selected.

I am working on a project for software engineering where we are trying to create a warehouse inventory system. I have created an inventory page where I can add/delete/search for an item as well as access invoices and reorder items... i am struggling on the delete item part. I have my design set up where there are four different lists on my page. One for name, one for serial number, one for RFID number and one for amount in stock. I want to be able to select an item by name and its information in serial number, rfid, and amount also select and have no idea how to go about this..I wanted to use four different lists because I need to be able to delete an item from the list and it remove just one from that stock and not the entire item unless there is only one of that item left in stock.

I have been trying to understand how to make thumbnails that I create from a directory, and place in a flow layout panel, selectable. That is, when someone klicks one of the thumbnails that thumbnail should be selected and, either automatically or by the click of a button, a new window (picture viewer) opens and shows the original picture. This is probably very easy to implement, but I am at a loss for the moment.I've tried to find an answer to this by searching the forums, but nothing good has been found so far.
[Code]...
The above code works perfectly and creates thumbnails from the directory c: emp and whatever subdirectory the user writes in the textbox (textbox2). No problem here, it is how to proceed to the next level that has got me stumped. As stated I want the user to be able to select one of the thumnails to get a better look at it in another window. So in selecting it, the procedure should get the path to the original image, and the rest is magic.

I was just wondering how to get my vb 2008 form to either a)click iFrames button or link or b) enter text into the iframes textarea or textbox. I noticed that a lot of vBulletin forums have the iframe on their Textarea message box. I have a post that I like to do daily in the classified ads on futureproducers.com and was wondering how to get into the iframe so that I can automate a single post in their classifieds section.

I know that I can select an option in a listbox within my HTMLDocument (which refers to a webbrowser control's HTMLDocument) using SetAttribute. For example:
htDoc.GetElementById("lstCountries").SetAttribute("value", "88")
However, I can't figure out how I can select multiple items within the listbox. When I call SetAttribute repeatedly, it always unselects the old one first.

I have a table being imported into my VB application that has 3 columns. I have written code to import the table, and have written code to display on the first column (country) in a list view.
What I want to do now is have the user select / highlight an item in the list view, and have the third column (currency) related to that selected country appear in a text box when a button is clicked.
Here's the code I've written that successfully imports the data and displays the first column:
Private Sub frmCountry_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim dataCountry As New DataTable()
[Code]...
Should I perhaps use something other than a list view?

VS2010 Professional crashes when I select Choose Items from the toolbox context menu (right click). All has been working well since it was installed in March but just suddenly started with this behaviour. I had an issue with one of my apps which caused a total VS freeze at about the same time this issue started but the app is now working correctly.It had stopped me from using VS2010 and I reverted to vs2008 but that has developed a bug which prevents me from creating / accessing any data connections. A bit stuck now.I have removed and installed VS2010. Initial reinstall attempts failed due to unverified msi file (??). However, I have now successfully installed VS2010 back on the machine. Crash problem still remains.

I am trying to sort a treeview, base nodes, which is the first base set you see before you click any + sign's I am trying to sort by alphabetical order, but, for the nodes inside each + view of the tree's I want to sort by number order, the number is currently set to the tag as text version of the number. Anyways, for the nodes in the + view's I need it to be able to skip over numbers if not every number in sequential order is there, so if number 4 is missing for example, still sort 1,2,3,5,6. My full code is pretty big but just retrieving items to display is random & I just add items as they come in, now they don't come fast or even when your not expecting new things to appear so it should not matter how it works really as it wont be updating as they are using the treeview.
