I have two web browser controls on my form. I also have several buttons like bold, underline, etc. My probem is the gotfocus of the web control is not working correctly. If I click on the web browser control to add text the gotfocus is not fired. If I click on a text box first and then click in the browser control it is fired. I need to know which has focused so the bold etc know which control to work on.
View 1 RepliesI know that with the Command Button, you can utilize the PerformClick option. I would like to know how you would go about doing something similar for a Combobox.What I am looking to do is open the Combobox within the GotFocus method.

View 2 RepliesSo, I'm trying to make a spiffy little program that lets you search for flash games, and it will automatically display the flash game within the program. (by writing document text to a webbrowser control) Unfortunately, the site I use to get the games from uses iFrames from Custom Google Search to house the search results. I know how to deal with frames in a webbrowser (WebBrowser1.document.window.frames("frame name here").document.so on and so forth), however it seems as though iFrames are different. When I try
WebBrowser1.document.window.frames("googleSearchFrame")
, it doesn't recognize that it's there. Same thing if I replace the name with the index of the frame - it's not there. Using

I have a pretty good understanding of VB.NET. Basically I'm trying to fill in the password to login to a school website, but for some reason it won't fill the value in. The closest that I've come is getting the password to appear on screen, but it's not masked with asterisks and when I click login it says invalid password. It's almost as if it edits the label right before the text box for the password.
Here's a section of the html code from the login page:
HTML
<FORM ACTION="/pls/PROD/twbkwbis.P_ValLogin" METHOD="POST" NAME="loginform" AUTOCOMPLETE="OFF">
<TABLE CLASS="dataentrytable" SUMMARY="This data entry table is used to format the user login fields">
<TR>
<TD CLASS="delabel" scope="row" ><LABEL for=UserID><SPAN class=fieldlabeltext>UID:</SPAN></LABEL></TD>

The textbox that has the NAME="PIN" is the value I wish to change. Here is some of the code that I have tried where webMain is a WebBrowser VB.NET control. This doesn't work, but does display the unmasked password:
Dim passwordTextBox As HtmlElement = webMain.Document.GetElementById("PIN")
passwordTextBox.InnerText = txtWingsPIN.Text

I am writing a program which allows me to log in to my favorite forum, and displays me my fav. threads, and automatically refreshes current thread every 30 seconds or so.For this, I first need to login to the forum page. Fortunately, the forum allows to login during posting a new message, and it's a public forum so browsing threads is possible without login. Therefore I can directly jump to the "edit article" page without login, fill in login information and write the post, and then send it altogether. Here is an example link for that:

Here comes my problem. I have searched for autofilling values and my code is like this:

Dim mynickname As HtmlElementCollection = mydoc.Forms("f").GetElementsByTagName("input").GetElementsByName("nickname")
Dim mypass As HtmlElementCollection = mydoc.Forms("f").GetElementsByTagName("input").GetElementsByName("pass")
If mypass.Count > 0 Then

I guess it doesn't set the value attribute, at least during debugging the 'outerHTML' property stays like this:
"<INPUT class=form_input type=password value="" name=pass>"
This is how my form design looks like: now after entering the url in the textbox,when i click the go button then the site corresponding to the url opens in the webbrowser control.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click WebBrowser1.GoBack() End Sub Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

I want to disable the on screen web browser control I have until the user clicks on a button. I tried using the designmode but then when I reference it it says it is equal to nothing. It seems to clear it down. Here is my code to show my data from the database to the browser control.[code]
View 6 RepliesI have several web browser controls on my form. I don't want to have in the content any styling like font etc because this is controlled by my css in my dynamic website.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to automate the download of a .CSV file from a password protected website. This file is updated every 15 minutes, but I could get by downloading it 2-3 times a day. I would love to find a way to download this file without any user interaction.
The problem is that there is no direct URL to access the CSV file. There is a webpage with a submit button that initiates the file download. The usual File..Save As Dialog box appears, you click save and then specify the location through the second dialog box.
Looking at the source of the main webpage, I found the form containing the download button, hoping that I could simulate the POST using the HTTPRequest/Response objects, but I couldn't get them to work. The form contains three hidden variables, one of which is called "Key" with a 20 character hexadecimal string. Im assuming this key is regenerated regularly, so this may explain the constant errors I received saying "...press the back button and resubmit the previous page".
Then I decided to try the WebBrowser control. I was able to figure out how to pass the authentication through the URL and the download page appears in the browser control window. Clicking on the download button brings up the same Save As dialog as the main browser window.how to automate this process. I just need to get this csv file (which, by the way is approx 25MB) downloaded so that my scripts can use it to update our site database.

I want to load some HTML into a webBrowser control, then operate a particular bit of code when it has finished loading.The code operates fine as long as I pause to wait for it to finish loading. If I just run the code without pausing, it sometimes messes up the display. webBrowser.Document Completed doesn't run after Document.write.I don't want to use webBrowser.DocumentText = "..." because that makes an annoying click sound every time it refreshes. A lot of people are annoyed by this. There are countless threads asking how to turn off the click, and using .write seems to be the only solution that doesn't require hacking the registry.

I've got the credentials, the script can pass the login page but when trying to navigate to the second page within, the page is being redirected back(to the first page after logging in). The second page I'm trying to get to retrieves the data from a database and displays some options for the user to select in order to prepare a report which can be downloaded after the fields selections.

Is it possible to load HTML content into the HTMLDocument object without having to use the WebBrowser control? I have an html file stored locally that I want to parse in order to find out which checkboxes are on and which are off.
All of the examples I've found use the Webrowser. It just seems convoluted to have to use the WebBrowser in order to get to a DOM object.

I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

I use to be a VB6 developer before migrating to .NET.
I am looking for a way to do something (as in, call a procedure) whenever a textbox gets focus in ASP.NET but I couldn't find my way out. I am using VB.NET.
I am looking for a way to tell when a tab has taken focus. I tried the gotfocus call but it doesn't seem to get called when I click on the tab. Did a quick search on google but can't seem to find the answer.

View 6 RepliesI have a mdi and 3 child windows.The program start with an empty mdi.With a menu you can open each child window once.When i open for example 2 windows. And close the one on top. The one left(the window under the one i closed) should get focus. How can i manage this?
why i need this?each childwindow has a event gotFocus. Depending on the focus my menu should change.
Private Sub frmMain_gotFocus(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.GotFocus
I can't seem to get the Form.GotFocus event to fire.I have two forms - a main window and a debug window.The debug window will always be shown with the main window. But, I don't want the debug window to appear in the task bar - it's unnecessary.While my program is running, when I select another program, my main window and the debug window are placed behind the program that I selected. From the task bar, I can bring my program back to the front by clicking on it in the task bar. The problem is, that now my debug window is behind the other program.I have code that will "DebugWindow.BringToFront", and it works. But I need some way to run do this when the main form gets the focus.I do not wish to make any of my forms Modal. At least not permanently. If the solution is to change the modal property of the form temporarily, then that wouldn't be a problem.
I tried Me.Enter, Me.Activated, Me.Click and a few other events. Me.Click only works when I click within the Form window, not the form's title bar. Me.Activated caused problems - The code ran, but it would always end with the focus on the Debug window. When I tried to click on the main form, the Activated event would fire again, sending the focus back to the debug window.[code]
I just added a gotfocus and lostfocus handler for all of my textboxes. Below is my routines to call on gotfocus/lostfocus.
[Code]...
Now, my issue is that this works great if you use the mouse and click around in the textboxes. However, if you hit the TAB key to move around on the screen, the LostFocus event doesn't seem to work. All of my textboxes backcolor remains lightblue. What did I do wrong? What do I need to do to fix this problem?
In vb.net I would like to set all numericUpDown (NUD) controls to select their value when they receive focus, like a text box does. Do I need to write a GotFocus handler for each NUD? I know I can use widthBox.Select(0, widthBox.ToString().Length) to do the selection I just need to be able to apply this to all NUD GotFocus events.
