Use SendKeys On Webbrowser Control?
Apr 15, 2010
I am using sendkeys because I believe a webform I want to fill possibly use javascript to detect whether someone submits the form. My code doesn't seem to do anything,
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(1).GetElementsByTagName("INPUT").Item("selectorReconnect").SetAttribute("checked", "-1")
Dim textArea As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.All("greconnect")
[Code].....

At the moment I have this to change focus of an element:
SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
Instead of using that I was wondering if I could do something like this:
WebBrowser1.Document.All("id").InvokeMember("click")
But to get focus to the next element in line, like the next one from the current focused item.

I was hoping you would be able to help me out. I want to automate a process on a website, through my program.I want to do sendkeys to a web browser component, and also be able to focus on links and click them.Here is what I want:the browser is by default on page 1.there are a bunch of links on page 1, but i want the program to automatically click the link with inner html that says "Link 3". Next, i want the program to wait for the next page to load, then find another link. Finally, I want the program to focus in on a textbox, type some data, then click a submit button, which takes the browser back to page 1. I want this process to keep looping over and over again. Can anybody help me with the functions involved in waiting for a page to load then finding a link based on its html?

My code requires the webbrowser to be up so I can sendkeys something onto a website form. For some reason, changing the attribute doesn't work with this website. When I'm doing other task, such as web browsing or something else, the following code works occassionally.
AppActivate("xyz")
WebBrowser1.Focus()
Is it possible to sendkeys to a website form in the background? This would be the ideal solution. What other command do I need to consistently pull up my application into the foreground?

In the process of testing of old (XP compatible) applications with Windows 7 we have xperienced a problem, that our major application Clarify (based on VB engine) does not work properly with turned on UAC (SendKeys and DoEvents do not work). Having turned off UAC, works our application error-free. Due to the corporate policy we cannot turn off UAC but we are looking for a solution, how to turn off UAC (not prompts) only for our application or how to het to work an application based on VB with turned.

What is the difference between SendKeys.SendWait and SendKeys.Send?Send obviously will just send they key immediately, but does SendWait actually wait for the message to be processed or does it also send it immediately?The function's name itself is just confusing. Which one should I use if I want to send keystrokes to a 3rd party app immediately, or is there no difference? To me, a few milliseconds is a big difference.

I have tried to control another application to automate a process we do 100 times a day. It is simple enough, a few key strokes is all but I have been foiled in all attempts

This isn't really a VB specific question. It's .Net in general... if you have ideas in another .Net language, let me know... I know most of the .Net languages (I don't know that foxtrot or what not weird ones). Furthermore this isn't a 'I don't know the method on some class I should be using' kind of question, it's a design/problem solving kind of question.I'd like to know how you'd approach the problem with in the boundaries set.

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
CheckBox1.Checked = True
While CheckBox1.Checked = True
SendKeys("{END}")
End While
End Sub
That is the code, the error is "SendKeys is a type and cannot be used as an expression."

I use webbrowser as File Explorer.
If you click folder it opens new folder contents in WB window but if you click html document it opens in EXTERNAL viewer.
How do you get html document to open in WB while exploring ?

I am writing a few web based apps which will require a webbrowser extension. I have already used the IE webbrowser control that uses the trident web rendering engine. I believe this is MSHTML.DLL? Anyway, some of the users of my programs have complained of a few things. Particularily,
1. It seems to be a slow browser, at least compared to other rendering engines out there (webkit and gecko are 2 known ones).
2. On the developer side, it seems to be low in features. The features are sufficient in most cases, but there are some "special" things that I need.
3. It has VERY low HTML (and especially HTML5) compliance.
My question is, how much work would it take to use a different engine (such as webkit .net, which I HAVE heard of) and be able to distribute it easily. Or, if you guys feel ambitious, we could try writing a brand new engine ourselves. I know how big of a job it is, and frankly, I have no clue where to begin. I would just like your thoughts and opinions on the matter.

I'm looking for the underlying Win32 API call that the DotNET Framework invokes on a SendKeys.Send or .SendWait call, or a Win32 API Equivalent to SendKeys. I've already experimented with SetKeyboardState which seems like the way to go, except that it does not raise any kind of keyboard event that causes the set keystates to register with an active application or the OS (at least not until another key is pressed; for example I can meddle with the keyboardstate before events process on a natural keystroke, but I can't invoke a keystroke programmatically).

Ive tried to edit option on the webbrowser control, example javascript enable/disable. but found out that it uses IE's option and cannot be changed.So my question is: Is there a way to do a "webbrowser" without using the WEbbrowser control that is based on internetexplorer? If it is, can i change option example flash and so on?

I have a VB.Net 2.0 application, on my form I am using a Component ONE PDF reader control.I am trying to send to this control a F4 keystoke to close the navigation panel when it opens the PDF file. It is not working or not accepting the sendkey.I put focus on the control first. Code below:
Me.PDF1.Focus()
Me.PDF1.Select()
My.Computer.Keyboard.SendKeys("{F4}", True)
I have tried different variations of the Sendkeys with no success.

I am trying to send keys to a control on my form. But I am getting a NullReferenceException and I don't know why. The code is about as basic as it gets: [Code] The error reported is object reference not set to an instance of an object but Send is a shared method so doesn't need an instance. Strangely if I ignore the error it works fine and F4 is passed to the control. I know there was an issue with sendkeys and UAC but I thought this had been solved (I am using 4.0 framework).

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?

I have a webbrowser control, where I show images (bmp files, that the program creates), and I want to add some UserControls to setup the images (as showing layers, or choosing colors to display). Is easy to do appropiate UserControls on VB.NET, and I know almost nothing about HTML, so, I would like to add standard VB.NET UserControls near the images.

So I've got a button that adds a tab using the tabcontrol object.
TabControl1.TabPages.Add("Test")
How would I add a webbrowser to that since i dont know what the tab page # of it will be specifically?
Each tab will have the same components, but might goto a different url.

I am writing a VB.Net WPF application that needs to display HTML content and websites. I am doing this using the webBrowser control. The application takes a significant performance hit running under x86 and I would really like to keep it set to Any-CPU. However the webBrowser controls need to be 32bit so they can run flash. So is there any way of achieving this? Running the 32-bit webBrowser in a 64bit process, or some alternative control that will manage this and allow me to load HTML from a string and a URL?

The Msgbox comes up as soon as you click the button and is empty, No page source.

I'm having an issue loading one of our work websites in a WebBrowser control. In IE, it works fine, but in the wb control, it does not seem to process correctly.There is a frame, "mainframe" which when you click "result", goes back to the "to do list". However, i get a blank page in the frame, and then when i hit refresh, it comes up with a scripted error "Page Already Sent" which i'm not sure what it is triggered by.The pages are JSP pages, and i don't know if that might have some effect, but i'm more confused as to why they would work perfectly in IE, and then not work in WebBrowser control.

I'm running a webbrowser control with a custom user agent.when I try to load google with it, there are a number of 'script errors' in the website, which I've hidden by setting 'Scripterrorssupressed' to true. Now however there is still an 'object error' which pops up when i try to load google.Every other website that I've tried loads fine, and when I click 'ok' google runs fine. I'm quite sure its something to do with google 'location services' trying to locate my browser, because it thinks its a cellphone (due to the custom user agent).

I have this code in VB.NET :
Having:
1 TextBox
1 Button
with this code:
Code:
Public Class Form1
Dim m As String()
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
m = TextBox1.Text.Split(Environment.NewLine)
[code]....
it navigates only to the last website [URL] i think that's because the for loop is faster that navigation process?

I've downloaded and installed the control from here, but I can't get it to work! I've added the component so it appears in my toolbox, but when i try to draw it on a form it isn't visible. It size can't be changed from 0,0 or anything! I can't see a 'URL' section in its properties either, why is that?

In my program, when the user clicks a button, a new tab is added to my tabpage and a WebBrowser is added to the tab. I want to be able to access the WebBrowser in the tab without having to give it a name when I add it.
