I am creating a program that will help in upload files to a website. One of the things that the website uses is the "Upload File" button. When you push it an "Open" dialog box opens (like OpenFileDialoge). What I want the program to do is auto fill in the direct file location for the website. So that the dialog box won't open or won't need input.
Hope this isn't confusing.
you'd have to post the HTML of the "upload page"
from there, it's just a matter of finding the input box's ID or Name and set the value of that attribute to your own filepath in string format
then you just invoke the click method of the Submit button (again, look for its ID or Name attribute)
I am also having the same problem, I need to populate a input box without opendialog popup and call a javascript function to upload that image file. Below is the screenshot and html code. If anyone can help will be highly appreciated.

Most of these type of HTML objects (as far as I know) Require the dialog to be opened, just try typing manually into the textbox next to the "browse" button, nothing happens right? You can't manually change the value, only the dialog sets the value. I would take a guess that, if this were possible, you would need to simulate the dialogbox's return result somehow. When faced with this kind of thing I usually just opt to push the "browse" button programmatically, most people prefer a dialogbox anyway.
Hi, thanks for your reply. Is there any way I can manipulate the opendialog's return path?
