    Question Get browser control field accessed

    Background:
    Hi everyone! I was looking to possibly build a Windows app which could instead monitor my current actions on a website (in a real-time manner), and produce from these actions, a report in a step-by-step format, which could then be later be used for testing. Please note that I'm not looking to write a test automation tool here. Similar to the following:
    1) From the web browser, navigate to http://InternalServer/WebApp1
    2) Click the "Logon Name" textbox located in the top right of the webpage
    3) Enter the text "alex_read" into this textbox
    4) Click onto the password textbox located just beneath... etc. etc.
    Question:
    I'm not really too sure what to ask here or any terms for this to lookup in MSDN, but would anyone have any advice or tips on how I might go about this please??

    I know if I was evaluating a Windows app, I could evaluate the mouse co-ordinates and use FindWindow, EnumWindows etc. to grab the control clicked on, but I was after this app to allow me to navigate to, and interact with many different internal web applications, each with their own layouts and controls.

    I've never used a webbrowser control in a project, and have heard it exposes a webage's DOM, but could I achieve the above using this - picking up which control upon a webpage has been clicked, and (if any) what text was input into this please.

    If not the webbrowser control, is there a better method of going about this, has anyone written anything similar to this before? Thanks!

    Edit: re-worded to try and explain this scenario a bit better.
