I have a WebBrowser control that have a webpage loaded in it. On the webpage I have a textarea control, like this:
<textarea name="text" id="textarea_obj">
I know this sounds like a simple thing but I have searched and all examples have not helped. I have been unable to update the textarea at I have gotten the code to work at other sites though.So specifically I want to update the "post a new thread" textarea. If you go toand then signup (you need an account to post a new thread). Then go to any forum and click "NewThread".I then can update the subject field but the textarea (name="message") does not update with the value. I am not sure why it doesn't work when I have got this working on a lot of other sites.

View 1 RepliesI currently have a simple VB.Net WebBrowser program uses webbrowser control, I 'd like to have certain data returned by a sever in the open web page send to the VB.net program, i.e. retrieve the html response from ASP.NET page.
i need to query a database a user's Full Name, when data is returned by the sever side script, it won't do any update on the web page, instead it should notify the VB.net program what users' full name is.

Do I use SOAP or can I just send it using VB? [code]
View 1 RepliesI 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.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to figure out how I can highlight every instance of a search string found in the the webbrowser control. The closest I came was to replace each instance with html code that highlights the text, but that causes problems because it replaces the search string in links and causes problems with text boxes on the page if an instance of the search string is in a textbox on the web page.[code]...

I am looking to create a VB 2008 Express programme which converts a data stream from a picoscope muscle sensor into a power output board which controls a mechanism.In simple terms when the Muscle sensor reaches a value of 0.8 V or higher I want the programme to send a text file to the power output control programme, and likewise when the sensor is below 0.2 V I want the power to be zero.
So 0.8 V > = send text file (0O=100%)
0.2 V < = send text file (0O=0%)
so when muscles being senced move the device turns on and off.I think I am successfully getting the data stream from the Picoscope which is plugged in the usb. I am using codes and examples that the programming guide for the device provided.here is a quick snap shot of the code (ps2000 is the driver used for the device)
ps2000_open_unit()
ps2000_set_channel(ps2000_handle, 0, 0, 0, 1)
ps2000_run_streaming(ps2000_handle, 250, 1000, 0)[code].....
how to get the data to be displayed or how to tell the programme to do something with the data.The device also came with an example of how it can record data to an excel sheet if anyone needs the code to gain a better understanding.
I have a regular application form with a WebBrowser control.I have strung together a .htm file (from a regular text file) which I then assign to the WebBrowser control. In the html file, I have filenames mentioned.I am trying to string together the html in such a way as to give a clickable link or button that will parse into html and open the corresponding file in another WebBrowser control in VB.I have tried using VBScript and JavaScript to put a button in the html.As long as the function or sub I call is also in the same html document, it works, but I really need to transfer the control back into visual basic where I can do the heavy lifting I need to.can I just not do this as a regular VB application? Any way to do it without adding the complication of requiring ActiveX?
View 3 RepliesI 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 am working on a parental control system for my webbrowser (checks if navigated page is on the blacklist). So I was looking for a list of sites to add to the system as default, I didn't find any but my friend did, but the problem is he gave me a list, for example, with lots of lines like this:
http:somename:something@website.com
http:somename1:something1@website2.com
How can I remove everything from the "@" till the "http;" (including http) and remove it all so only the website name stays? I could do it by hand/notepad, but it would take forever as the list has over 2k sites I would like to add in my blacklist! I thought maybe strings could do it?

I have a Webbrowser control on my Windows Form that loads a local page using the DocumentStream property. The page contains an input element of type text. When rendered, users are able to type anything they wish however they are unable to use keys like "Delete" or typical Cut & Paste functions. If it were not for the fact that you can type data and Basckspace to delete the character one at a time. If I load the same page in Internet Explorer, the input box functions correctly.

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?
