Manipulate/Change/Form Fill data in webpages using the Webbrowser control

[kleinma]

I am not aware of any easy way to auto fill content within frames.

I also didn't find anything that looked promising in my searches.

If I do figure out a way to manipulate content in frames, I will update this example code accordingly

Ok... this should be easy, but I'm having a terrible time...

kleinma, I've looked over your sample and still can't get this to work:

All I'm trying to do is fill in the info on the paypal website and log in. The email field is named "login_email", the password field is "login_password", and the submit button is named "submit.x"

I've scrapped all of my repeated attempts, because I haven't been able to get anything to work.

I've ended up with this, even though I know it's not exactly how you coded your sample, I ended up straying away because I couldn't get yours to work.

        If IsBrowserBusy(WebBrowser1) = False Then
            Dim HTML As HtmlDocument
            Dim HTMLS As mshtml.HTMLInputButtonElement
            HTML = WebBrowser1.Document
            HTML.All.Item("login_email").InnerText = "***"
            HTML.All.Item("login_password").InnerText = "*****"
            HTML.All.Item("submit").Click()
            For Each HTMLS In WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
                If HTMLS.type = "submit" And HTMLS.value = "Log In" Then
                    HTMLS.click()
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next


        End If

IsBrowserBusy is just a function I made to return whether or not the browser is busy. With this code, the textboxes were filled in, but I can't get it to submit, before even compiling i get this error:

"Error 1 'Public Event Click(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElementEventArgs)' is an event, and cannot be called directly. Use a 'RaiseEvent' statement to raise an event."

Ugh, this is frustrating! Hopefully you have some time to lend a hand-
