WebBrowser Control - Possible To Fill Forms And Stuff
Jul 2, 2009
If a "web page" is more of a "Web App", meaning it is more of an "application" in a web browser, is it still possible to fill forms and stuff? I have come across a pretty huge hurdle in my fight for automation and it involves filling in a "service ticket" submission thing that is browser-based. I can view the source code of the page, but it doesn't look like normal HTML and the first screen of it has a username and password box, but there is no mention of either in the page's source code.

1. Is there any way to disable refreshing in such a way that the button can still be used for stuff like flash on the page still? All my methods have blocked using the button in the flash which is loaded on the page....
2. Is there any way to get the new scrollbars of IE10 or metro style scrollbar or what not into the webbrowser like the desktop version of IE10 does in Windows 8 Consumer Preview?
3. Is there any way to allow the close window called from javascript to be detected & actually close the window in my program?
4. Is there any way to make it so when new window is called it will open a new window with my application in a new instance? stopping me now is it seems to want to open in the same window if I use the event NewWindow to cancel the event from happening but it gets script errors....is there any way to retrieve the link to what it needs to open so I can handle this properly? Or at least tell it what else to use? besides the default browser....I want it to open inside my own program & not IE.

In the past, I used the code below to fill out a form field using the webbrowser control in VB.Net. The page I am working with doesn't have name field for the inputbox, so my code doesn't work. How would I fill out the input box defined at the bottom of this post in bold?[code]...

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>
[Code] .....
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
The webpage [URL]

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 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?

I am writing a program that will search the hard drive for particular files. Once it's done, I'd like the results to display like a folder. For example: If I looked for log files in c: and c:Windows, I would want to put those files in a 'virtual directory' and be able to manipulate them -- as you would in Windows Explorer.
The only thing I can think of that is similar is the search companion, but this software must be compatible with Windows 7.
I know it is possible to display a real folder (i.e. c:windows) in the webbrowser control, but can you have your own virtual directory and only view files that you want in it?

I know how to InvokeScript so my VB form can call a javascript function in the Webbrowser document, but does anyoe know how to do it the other way round - ie javascript calling a vb function in the containing form? Why do I want to do this? Well I've got a table of telephone conversations. Some conversations are longer than others and they look silly in a grid with fixed row height. So I put them in an html document and display them in the webbrowser control. There's a hyperlink on each subject title, and I'd like the hyperlink to open an 'edit conversation' dialog box in my app.

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).

But why can't I figure out how to get one of any number of created WebBrowser controls to navigate to a website?I have a FORM a BUTTON and TWO TEXTBOX controls at design time. I run the program and it creates a random number of WEBBROWSER controls named WebBrowser1 to WebBrowser whatever.textbox1.text = a number, 1 - max number of created webbrowsers, determined in whatever way it is. but what if textbox1.text could equal 35, or 1, or whatever. HOW DO I REFERENCE IT'S ASSOCIATED WEBBROWSER CONTROL?!?!?I've spent a few hours researching this and I find page after page on creating controls, but I can't change the data of a control determined at run time, and I can't find how to anywhere.

I am trying to access a browser control in one of my forms from a module but keep getting an error. I attached a screen capture showing the code and the error balloon. The subroutine is public, and I am addressing the browser correctly. If I copy that same code into the "Main" form, and it works perfectly.

I cannot seem to successfully send the Enter key to a webbrowser control using .net. I can succesfully send postmessage Tab key and it tabs through the links and controls, but it does not click on the link when I send Enter key.The website I am opening has frames, and due to the cross frame scripting policies microsoft forced into the IE control , I cannot retrieve the links from the IFRAMES on the page. So my alternative thinking is to use Tab keys to get to the link and then press Enter.

I am attempting to fill the zip code through on Target Mobile Find in Store and click the GO button. However the button does not have an ID when I look at the HTML. I am able to fill the zipcode text box using:
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("zipcode").Inn erText = txtZip.Text
but I cannot figure out how to click the button. I've tried using sendkeys.send("{enter}") but that doesnt seem to do anything.How can I either send the enter key after filling the zipcode or click the button?

I have created a VB.NET project that includes WebBrowser control. The web browser control navigates to html page that embedes a flash movie. Everything works fine except that when I want to exit the fullscreen mode of the video by pressing (Esc) key, it doesn't exit. If I view the html page with any other browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, ...) it works perfectly. You can download the project from the link below. The files are in the Debug folder.

Not desired.Vista IE7: embeds PDF properly if you navigate to same URL, as desired.I am using Acrobat 9, where there is a preference setting under Internet to bring up PDF embedded in browser -- works fine directly in IE7, but not in webbrowser control.

I'm working on a pretty simple project, just a WebBrowser app which is tailored for Webmail. I'm working on an OWA portion, and OWA normally doesn't allow the textfields on the Login page to be auto-filled. Is there a way I can force this? Search through the OWA login page code, find the fields, then fill in the fields with preset/saved data?

I created a Windows Form application that used a Webrowser control to automate the process of entering data into a website. One of the tasks included selecting a server name from a dropdown menu (SELECT tag). I was able to get a collection of all of the OPTION tags and use HTMLElement.SetAttribute("selectedIndex","indexVal ue") to select the server I needed.The website recently went through a redesign and now there are no OPTION tags. It appears that the values for the SELECT tags are added by JavaScript dynamically. I have tried using HTMLElement.SetAttribute("selectedIndex","indexVal ue") directly, but I am unable to select what I need.
