Automate A Webpage (e.g. Retrieve Page Text & Hyperlink) Via WebBrowser?

Aug 15, 2009

I have seen several threads about automating several aspects of html elements (buttons, textboxes, checkboxes, radio buttons etc...) but I didn't see any specific codes to auto-click "Hyperlinks". How would I invoke a click on any hyperlink located on any given webpage if I needed to?

Click Hyperlink On A Webpage Using Tag ID?

Aug 6, 2009

I am developing a program that will get specific hyperlinks, using regular expressions, from a website. It follows by visiting those chosen links and it loops through each one. Each time it has to navigate to that url to click another link in order to obtain information about that link.

The "chosen" links have been collected in a database. The fields of the database are "hyperlink" etc. and below is a prototype of what I planned on doing. Unfortunately I get this runtime error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." on the line indicated in the code.

For Each Record As DatabaseDataSet.Table1Rows In DataBaseDataSet.Table1
Dim website As New WebBrowser
'Navigate to the "chosen" link found in the field "hyperlink" of record
website.Navigate(record.hyperlink)

Automate A Process In A Webbrowser Control?

Jan 4, 2010

I have been attempting to automate a process in a webbrowser control. When I attempt to fill out the form and submit, I get a false negative response (meaning all the data in the fields are correct but I am getting an incorrect response back from what I should be getting). I have determined that this problem is due to the fact that when I manually type out the data in the input fields a javascript is being fired. I know that you are able to invoke the javascript, but as I have no real knowledge about javascript and the script is rather complex I am stuck.

A temporary solution for me has been to use SendKeys, but this is no real solution at all. If the window loses focus, the entire process goes out the window. I cannot just use the .SetAttribute or .InnerText methods for the elements in the window.

I'm not sure if any of you are familiar with WatiN but I have used it recently while looking for other means to do what I need to do here. Watin works, but instead of allowing me to use an embedded browser object it shells new browser windows. Anyhow, with WatiN I am able to minimize or hide the browser window and the code will still execute. This leads me to believe that there is a way to simulate keypress events in a browser window while making sure that the specific element is the active element.

I have searched all over the internet for this (but am sure I overlooked a few things in frustration) and have yet to find a solution that works for me.

Using Webbrowser To Automate Selecting Items From A Treeview?

Jun 3, 2012

Using Webbrowser, I've managed to automate PDF downloads for several of the websites used by our company. I'm still a beginner at this process.Many of our PDF downloads, however, are from a Wells Fargo service called Wholesale Lockbox Image. The problem is that this Wells Fargo site expects the user to select items from a treeview as part of his query criteria. I don't know how to make Webbrowser select these treeview nodes programmatically.

Although I don't know anything about Java, the treeview is definitely a Java control. I know this for several reasons.(1) The instructions on the website specifically state that the the treeview won't draw until Java is installed.

(2) A standard Java splashcreen appears in the little treeview pane until the treeview actually begins to draw. The HTML code has an <OBJECT> tag which includes this attribute: ARCHIVE = "JWLTreeView2.jar"

Using Microsoft's mshtml library, I've tried looping through the elements on the page but can't find anything corresponding to the nodes in the treeview. I've also tried applying EnumChildWindows to the IE window, but here too I found nothing specific to the nodes. When I hover Spy++ over the treeview pane, it only identifies the pane as a whole, not the individual nodes.Furthermore, even when I select the nodes using my mouse, I don't seem to detect any corresponding alteration of the Webbrowser's HTML document (unless I overlooked it somehow).Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make Webbrowser select the treeview nodes programmatically?Oddly, I noticed that if the user saves the webbpage to his harddrive and then loads it into his browser from there, he can still see the treeview and select items (even without logging in to Wells Fargo), although if I bring the page home, the treeview is gone. I guess this means that IE is storing/caching the java file somewhere on the company machine, although I don't know if this fact would help solve my problem...

VB 2008 - Automate Iframe In WebBrowser Control

Mar 9, 2010

I looked all over the forum posts here and didn't see the answer to a question concerning iframes within the webbrowser control (there were similar issues however). The forum has a classifieds section that allows members to post threads daily. I have a message that I like to send once every day to a forum and decided that it would be best to achieve this programmatically. However, I noticed in the visual basic 2008 webbrowser control, that it doesn't seem to automate the iFrames within the browser using the htmlelementcollection codes.

Automate Login And Navigation To A Website Using The WebBrowser Control?

Sep 4, 2009

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.

Using Windows Hooks To Automate Filling In Webbrowser Control Authentication Dialogues?

Jul 9, 2009

I'm developing an VB.NET application which utilizes a webbrowser control. The browser control needs to navigate to a simple page which prompts the user for their user name and password. However, this prompt is not simply a web form, but it is a completely new dialog window. I need a way to automate filling in the username and password in this dialog by using locally stored credentials, so that there is no interruption in the webbrowser control's navigation. The only information that I have been able find so far that might be useful in solving this problem, involves using windows hooks in the user32.dll to intercept and negotiate with these windows at a low level.
