[RESOLVED] Loop Through HTML Form Elements!

I am using the WebBrowser control. I want to find out what are the different HTML Form elements existing in the web page a user is currently viewing. How do I do that?

Thanks,

Arpan

Re: Loop Through HTML Form Elements!

Reference the MS HTML Object Library

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.vbforums.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=1"
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
If (pDisp Is WebBrowser1.Application) Then
    On Error Resume Next
    Dim wForm As HTMLFormElement
    Dim wElem As HTMLInputElement
    Set wForm = WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(1) 'Note the ONE (its actually the Second Form)
    For x = 0 To wForm.elements.length
        If TypeOf wForm.Item(x) Is HTMLInputElement Then
            Set wElem = wForm.Item(x)
            Debug.Print wElem.Name & ": " & wElem.Type
        End If
    Next
End If
End Sub

Thanks, Static, that's exactly what I was looking out for.

BTW, to access all the hyperlinks existing in a web page, one can use wWeb.Document.All.tags("a") or to access the Forms, one can use wWeb.Document.All.tags("form").Name.

I would like to know like ("a"), ("form"), what are the other tags?

Re: Loop Through HTML Form Elements!

look in the html...
<BODY> - body
<A HREF> - a
<FORM> - form
<TABLE> - table
etc...
it should be any of those < > tags...

Re: [RESOLVED] Loop Through HTML Form Elements!

I'm trying the same thing, but using VS2010. I am getting an error after referencing MS HTML Object Library. The culpert seems to be

WebBrowser1.Application

is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser'

What can I do to avoid this error?

Re: [RESOLVED] Loop Through HTML Form Elements!

Welcome to VBForums :wave:

You are asking in completely the wrong place. While VB6 and VB.Net (VB 2002 and later) both have 'VB' in their names, they are very different languages.

You should post a thread in our VB.Net forum instead.
