How can I simulate a click on website loaded in WebBrowser control? Note that the link don't have id element, so the code must recognize it with the anchor text or href element.
I have searched the forums a bit in search of ways to find out how to prevent Internet Explorer to open when you click on a new window link in a WebBrowser control. I came across a topic with this code:
how can i make my webbrowser open up a new link in my same webbrowser or in another form? basically what im saying is i dont want it opening links in internet explorer.
I have a problem with WebBrowser control and cookies.First of all what happens when one navigates in a normal Web browser (IE9 in my case): open page
I enter my username / password,
I leave the checkbox "Stay signed in" unchecked and click "Sign in",
IE9 opens my GMail page with all my mails listed. That is OK.
1.2. At the top of GMail page there are a lot of links like "Calendar", "Documents", etc.
When I click the "Documents" link, my documents page is opened in a separate tab in IE9. No additional login information as name / psw is asked. This is fine too.Now, what happens when I repeat all that in WebBrowser control (I have created a very simple VB.NET application with single WebBrowser control in it).
2.1. In form load event the following code is executed:
Private Sub MyForm_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Me.MyWebBrowser.Navigate("http://www.gmail.com") End Sub
2.2. I enter my GMail login information (name and psw) in WebBrowser control,
2.3. When I click the "Documents" link, a new instance of IE9 is opened,
2.4. Instead of showing a list of my documents, Google asks me to login again in an IE9 window. Why? Why I have to enter my credentials again?I think there is something wrong with cookies and they are not set correctly in a step 2.2.
What would be Simplest code for me to click a word which is link in website?Simplest.I tried: WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("Images")But it just says that the whole code is wrong.
I'm new to visual basic & have learned many new things in such a short period of time from being on the MSDN forums. I have learned particularly in the subject of automating web browsing control using the getattributes etc., but I have tried everything that I have seen in the forums to auto click the "Settings" link in a created gmail account and then have the browser automate the "Forwarding" to another gmail address. I haven't found a solution anywhere to accomplish this.
So here is an account to try out in which this should only take a few mins to a veteran coder:

I want to make a code that let you make a google.com/url etc. link with the users link in it (their input). When they click Button1, after a few seconds the text in TextBox2 is their own link with a valid google.com/url hash etc. I've managed to come this far:When I delete the timers and click on the button and manually on the link in the WebBrowser, it will work. But when I add timers and stuff, it will not click the link in the WebBrowser. And when 1 timer is done, TextBox1.Text displays about:blank
I have a vb app with a webbrowser, and I am trying to search a page with about 1,000 links to click on the right one. Hereare some links from the page source:

I want to be able to find and click on a link in the page based on its name, like "ING LifeStyle Moderate Growth Portfolio - Service Class" for the first one. Also, I want the second link in each block, with the onClick=notesWindow function. How can I do this?

I have an application that loads a web page then allows the user to edit that page by setting the Webbrowser control to EditMode.What I am trying, so far unsuccessfully, to do is trap when a user right clicks on a link already on the web page. The problem I have is that although I can trap the right click using MouseDown and GetElementFromPoint, if the link that is clicked is nested within a higher level element then the higher level element is returned by GetElementFromPoint not the nested element.[code]When the user right clicks, say, the link with test2.html my current code returns the DIV element not the A element. How can I understand which of the A elements the user clicked.[code]

Set URL And Click Link In IE Window, Not Browser Control
I was wondering if I had IE open, how can i set the URL within that browser? I do not want to use webbrowser control.

Let's say my browser goes to a page similar to this one below ..
Picture Is Here
On this page there is a hyper link called 'Click Here' .. when I click it, it opens another window with things in it.
How can I click this hyper link in vb.net automatically without me clicking on it with the mouse, and how do I open the window in a second web browser ?
We can assume that the first browser is called (WebBroswer1 ) and the second one is called (WebBrower2).
I know how to perform buttons clicks and do raise the 'OnClick' Events, but I don't know how to do it with a hyper links.
I have 2 webbrowsers. Some links will cause a new window to open, I dont want that. How would I get new windows to open in the 2nd webbrowser instead of the first?
How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.
