[Resolved]Entering text into a webbrowser field.

Hi, I want to make it so I have a form and a button and a web browser.

The web browser will automatically load to a website that has boxes to fill in.

In google chrome when i right click on the text box i can find the element or whatever its called.

I am just wondering how I can make it so when I press the button it will change the text of the textbox on the website to whatever I want.


Also how to make it press a button on a web browser as well.

(All of this while the browser is invisible)

Thanks for the help! :)

can you tell me the url you're talking about?
it'll help to see the html, because no 2 webpages are the same

I'm actually trying to make a form that has many different text boxes.

It signs you up for a game so you can make multiple accounts quickly.

the link is

Code:

---

http://passport.nexon.net/Registration/Signup.aspx?nexonTheme=Maplestory

---

and this is what my form looks like:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/869809/Phot...cgenerator.bmp

I remember making something similar to this before and it had to do with the element name of the text box I wanted to enter something in.

For example, the first textbox on that site for Account ID is "txtAccountId"

EDIT2: And if possible after I get my application working, I would like to add to check if the name is available like it does on the website.

I also don't want it to just show the website in a web browser because it is cleaner this way and there would be no point in even making the program in the first place.

EDIT3: Also I am going to make it show the captcha image in that space with the gray lines. The captcha image id is "captchaFS_Image"

try this:

vb Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://passport.nexon.net/Registration/Signup.aspx?nexonTheme=Maplestory")
        Do While WebBrowser1.ReadyState <> WebBrowserReadyState.Complete
            Application.DoEvents()
        Loop
        Dim el As String = ""
        For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
            el &= element.Name & Environment.NewLine
        Next
        MsgBox(el)
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtAccountId").InnerText = "AccountId"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtPassword").InnerText = "Password"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtPasswordConfirmation").InnerText = "PasswordConfirmation"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtEmail").InnerText = "Email"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtEmailConfirmation").InnerText = "EmailConfirmation"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtFirstName").InnerText = "FirstName"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtLastName").InnerText = "LastName"
        For Each element As HtmlElement In Me.WebBrowser1.Document.All("ddlBirthMonth").GetElementsByTagName("option")
            If element.GetAttribute("text") = "January" Then
                element.SetAttribute("selected", "True")
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        For Each element As HtmlElement In Me.WebBrowser1.Document.All("ddlBirthDay").GetElementsByTagName("option")
            If element.GetAttribute("text") = "1" Then
                element.SetAttribute("selected", "True")
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        For Each element As HtmlElement In Me.WebBrowser1.Document.All("ddlBirthYear").GetElementsByTagName("option")
            If element.GetAttribute("text") = "2001" Then
                element.SetAttribute("selected", "True")
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rbGenderMale").SetAttribute("checked", "true")
        WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rbGenderFemale").SetAttribute("checked", "")
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtCaptcha").InnerText = "Captcha"
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("chkNewsletter").SetAttribute("checked", "true")
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("chkTermofuse").SetAttribute("checked", "true")
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("btnSubmit").InvokeMember("click")
    End Sub
End Class

EDIT2/ pass
EDIT3/ pass

that leaves you with something to research + find the answers to. if you search this forum i'm sure there is something about webbrowser images

WOW! Thanks so much.

Okay this is what I have so far.

Code:

---

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtAccountId").InnerText = TextBox1.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtPassword").InnerText = MaskedTextBox1.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtPasswordConfirmation").InnerText = MaskedTextBox1.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtEmail").InnerText = TextBox2.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtEmailConfirmation").InnerText = TextBox2.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtFirstName").InnerText = TextBox6.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtLastName").InnerText = TextBox7.Text
        If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then
            WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rbGenderMale").SetAttribute("checked", "true")
        Else
            WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("rbGenderFemale").SetAttribute("checked", "true")
        End If
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("txtCaptcha").InnerText = TextBox3.Text
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("chkNewsletter").SetAttribute("checked", "false")
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("chkTermofuse").SetAttribute("checked", "true")
        WebBrowser1.Document.All("btnSubmit").InvokeMember("click")
    End Sub

I'm just not sure how to make it select the same birthday that is chosen in the program.

Also, I'm not sure how to make the captcha show in the program where that gray box is.

EDIT: Also, the years on my program selection aren't the same as the websites ones, mine has much less.

i told you how in post #4

I'm still having trouble with it.

when i do:

Code:

---

For Each element As HtmlElement In Me.WebBrowser1.Document.All("ddlBirthDay").GetElementsByTagName("option")
            If element.GetAttribute("text") = "1" Then
                element.SetAttribute("selected", "True")
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

It sets the day to 1.

I am trying to make it so you can choose the day using my ComboBox2 which has all numbers 1 through 31 in it.

I really don't know how. =/

If element.GetAttribute("text") = "1" Then

yeah I tried adding more of those, but it still sets it as 1 no matter what i choose in my combobox. I just don't know how to associate the browsers box with the forms combobox.

vb Code:

If element.GetAttribute("text") = ComboBox2.selecteditem.tostring Then

wow.. i feel so stupid LOL

Thanks so much for that I got the days working :D
