I'm currently trying to teach myself VB. I'm trying to automate a web-browser to go to a certain website. I wish to place the script on my desktop. But I keep getting syntax error 800A03EA. Here's my code.
'webbrowser.vbs'
WScript.CreateObject(' "InternetExplorer.Application" "IE_" ' )
ie.Visible = true
ie.navigate("www.google.com")
I am new to vb 2008, but I know how to automate some html elements. The issuse that I running into is that I cannot get my webbrowser1 to auto-click the "Gmail" button at the top left of the page or the "Show me my account" button on the righthand side of the webpage. Here is the webpage that I'm trying to auto click: url...Can someone please view the html source and give a code sample to click either button so that the page can then go on to the following page?

View 2 RepliesIm building a little program to automate downloading of orders for work but having a few problems.One of the pages has 2 Radio buttons on it, One says "download all" and the other "Download orders for selected dates"Now the radio button i can select fine, It goes to the "download orders for selected dates" one nicely but im having trouble putting the dates in on its own.
The "to" date is ok as it will always be the sate you run the program on so have used the "today.date" string and it puts this in ok. But with the from field i need to be able to select this.
I am using a datetime picker box on my form and can get it to put in the date in the box on the website, But to do this i have to click on the datetimepicker and click on the date, It doesnt already select this.
I would like it so i select the date first and then click my Login button, It goes off to the website and fills in all the details and then the next popup i get is where to save the file.So is there a way for the date time picker to put the current selected date in automatically?

I want to code some thing up that logs you into a site and automatically posts to it.
I heard you need to use httpwebrequest but I've seen literally almost every tutorial on the subject and I am still super lost.
Also, is it possible to automate the built in web browser? I coded a semi-automatic program in the past but I want something automated.
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 am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to load a specific game (Kingdoms at war, www.kingdomsatwar.com) into a web browser on my visual basic 2010 project (i dont mind if its a webbrowser, AxWebbrowser or Axshockwaveflash, it just needs to be in my form).
To answer this question you may need to go the extra mile and join the game to try what im asking Ok so details:
I have a few issues when trying this, I create a form with a standard web browser and change the url to www.kingdomsatwar.com , when it runs it will go to the website however when clicking the login button it will go to a black screen with a bit of writing cut off in the top left corner (which i found out was "Page Loaded"), so thats the first issue.
However this can be temporarily fixed by right clicking and going to "forward" or "play". After this you will go to a login screen where you can enter your details, however after this it will load the game with a "cannot connect security" (which may be a game issue, however i need to know how to make the vbwebbrowser work like internet explorer, which will load it).
This game runs in flash, so i need to know if there is any special way to make the vbwebbrowser work properly like the internet explorer version works with the game.
I tried running the game's url itself (using mochigames), which is http:games.mochiad.../play.swf?q=243 , (i have tried this in the vbwebrowser, axwebbrowser and axshockaveflash) and they all won't load the game (they will load the game when not logged in but wont load an account)
I know this is a very specific question and can probably not be solved but if anyone has some spare time, could they create an account and give it a shot. All i need is a form which will load a www.kingdomsatwar.com account on it.
Well i hate Web browser, sometimes I use this code to check if the document completed and it stops there for ever.
PHP
While MyBrowser.ReadyState <> WebBrowserReadyState.Complete Application.DoEvents() End While
Sometimes it stops on that code and I don't know why!!!So is there any other method to read a text from a website, or if the code i am using is wrong, whats the right one ? I use this code to check if the document completed loading.

I have a hidden web browser, two text boxes, and a button. I can add the login information to the forms on the web page, but how do I login? Heres my code so far

Basically I want to grab the ID of the sign in button (the name/id is SI) and click it. I've tried RaiseEvent(Click) and Click() but neither work...I'm not sure about the syntax and how it works in general....I don't even know if I'm doing it right.
So I've made a program in VB 2010, and it has three comboboxes and a button to view. Now lets say my first combobox is "Type of website". The options are "search engines", "social networking" and "news". The second combobox values would depend on what the first combobox value is selected, like if it was "news" the options would be "technology", "uk", "us", and "world".
The third combobox would then use the values in the first and second comboboxes to give even more values, for example if it was "news" and "technology" the values would be "engadget" etc. Then the view button would open the selected website in an internet browser. How would I code this?
The VB.Net desktop app uses the IE browser control to navigate the web. When a normal page loads the document_complete event fires and I can read the resulting page and go from there. The issue I am having is that the page I am driving is written with AJAX, so the document complete event never fires. Furthermore, when you view the source of the page after it loaded a new portion via AJAX, it hasn't change.

View 1 RepliesI am using AdWords for advertising my products. But in a last couple of months number of products have doubled so I don't have enough time to optimize AdWords campaigns for all of them. Some campaigns have thousands of keywords so I am looking a way to automate my AdWords campaigns.
I know about AdWords API and client libraries. I have been investigating them for some time and they are not so easy to use. I want to focus more on optimizing my AdWords campaigns, and not on communication with AdWords server. Does anyone know about some VB.NET library that would allow me to download my AdWords data, investigate it, modify it and then upload modifications back on AdWords server?

View 2 RepliesWorking with dynamic button. So if i have 5 buttons created dynamicly, i can get alot of information from the button click of that button. You click a button on this app, it will show the name of the button.
But now I want, lets say button 4 to click at 4:45 pm today. Normally I would do something like compare a string to "4:45", and when true, then button 4.Perform_Click.
But button 4 is dynamic, so how do I call that button in my code. How can I address it. I know it will be there when the program is running, I just don't know how to get to it in code.
Now I do have the button names in a database, so I can get the name that I want from there. Just not sure how to tell it, "Do a perform click on button 4" The code below is my test bed, so If you click the main button, it will create a button, and a timer. Click the button that was created, and it will show the button name.
