Hello.
My computter broke down so I haven't been on this forum for over 1 week.
Today I saw that nobody have replyed to this post.
I don't know why but I'll make this more clear and hope that somebody will reply here soon.
I want to make my own E-mail "reader".
So I make a two text boxes. One for the username and one for the password.
And then a button.
Now when I press the button I want it to go to www.hotmail.com and that the textbox 1 is the email address and the textbox 2 is the password and that it presses "Sign in"
Anyone?

this guy was doing what you wanna do...

basically u need to get the field / form names...
then set them... then on the button... ".click" even makes it go to the login...

ie@: open ie webbrowser control should b good... - most likely hidden im guessing?....
then when its completed...

ie document complete...
if url = locationurl and url = "whatever you want it to be like" then
webbrowser1.document.all("name of what you wanna set").value = text1.text
"" """ """ .all("Password").value = text2.text
""""""".all("Login Button").click
end if


of course this needs doing properly [what its not in code tags]
but hope that helps?

OK thank you. It helped a bit.
But Im still wondering a bit how to do it:
Have can I know what the button has fore name (inte the link you posted it was "con")
Like lets say. I make this code:
[HIGHLIGHT="Private Sub Command1_Click() Shell "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE + text1.text" End Sub"[/HIGHLIGHT]
and then I want it to write in "Visual Basic" on the google search and press "Search".

i tried to login to hotmail for someone else, but i was unable to do so, as the usual form methods would no work on that site

[wpearsall]

also it would be easier to add reference to the internet explorer
create one, and then control it directly...

if you shell an ie, you would need ALOT of api coding to control it... im assuming you want to control this IE for a while, yes?

Yes.
I did just shell it to show you.
What would be the easy way?

[westconn1]

try like this

Set wb = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
wb.navigate2 "www.hotmail.com"
Do Until wb.readystate = 4
DoEvents
Loop
wb.Visible = True  'optional if you want to see the window
Set ele = wb.document.forms(0)
    ele.all("login").Value = "[email protected]"
    ele.all("passwd").Value = "pass"
    ele.submit
wb.Quit
Set wb = Nothing

Set wb = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
wb.navigate2 "www.hotmail.com"
Do Until wb.readystate = 4
DoEvents
Loop
wb.Visible = True  'optional if you want to see the window
Set ele = wb.document.forms(0)
    ele.all("login").Value = "[email protected]"
    ele.all("passwd").Value = "pass"
    ele.submit
wb.Quit
Set wb = Nothing

There comes an error on the:

"Set WB = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")"

"Wrong number of argument or invalide property assignment"

[westconn1]

if wb is a webbrowser control this line is not required or valid

[wpearsall]

when u use createobject you dont need to set reference do u~? its only when dim ??? as ???, correct?

im not sure if i forgot to actually post my last post on here, but it doesnt seem to be here... but i would recommend using the WebBrowser control [in the components list its Microsoft Internet Controls - ieframe.dll]

it will give u more working easier

and also...

Dim WB as Object

before the set WB =

that may fix it

[westconn1]

when u use createobject you dont need to set reference do u~? its only when dim ??? as ???, correct?

if you have a reference then you can declare your variable as the correct type, even if you use createobject
if you want to use latebinding, then do not use reference and declare variable as object

sometimes easier to add reference while writing code, then remove reference before compiling, to avoid compatibility issues for users

i was working with an instance of internet explorer, but the op may be using a webbrowser control, most of the code will work fine, but if WB is his webbrowser it will error when trying to assign an instance of internt explorer to the control

[worqy]

Now thats working.
BUT there comes and error on ele.All("login").Value = "[email protected]"
Run time error "91"
Object variable or With block variable not set

[westconn1]

you could try replacing

Set ele = wb.document.forms(0)
ele.all("login").Value = "[email protected]"
ele.all("passwd").Value = "pass"
ele.submit

with

With wb.document.forms(0)
    .all("login").Value = "[email protected]"
    .all("passwd").Value = "pass"
    .submit
End With

if you still get error it would appear that the page has not loaded correctly
i tested the code here and it was working correctly

There comes and error (424) but I think I know why. Because when I press the "Start" button to run the program and its open www.hotmail.com it comes to this site http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=w...4855&mkt=fi-FI , then finish login site. (Because I live in Finland) so can this be the reason it comes the "error 424 Object required"?

[westconn1]

when i go directly to the finnish login page it all works
wb.Navigate2 "http://mail.live.com/default.aspx&lc=1035&id=64855&mkt=fi-FI"

 Olet yrittänyt kirjautua sisään liian monta kertaa käyttämällä virheellistä osoitetta tai salasanaa.

Thats says: You have tryed to many times to login with a wrong Username/Password. Login with a diffrent account.....
But I was wondering why mine didnt work. Beacuse when I enter www.hotmail.com it jumps to the finnish login page and maby the ("login") and the ("passwd") isn't the same in finnish? Can we please take one more example? Lets say this site: www.gpro.se that site is allways in english. And I have a question more: How do I tell the program form example to press the login button on that page? Isi't like Press ("Login") ???

[westconn1]

if it is input submit button, you can just submit the form, as my example
most times submit buttons do not have names or ids, so the only way is to loop through the elements to find some property to match then click the element

when you navigate 2 hotmail the site must redirect, after the browser readystate ha been reached, so the next page has not loaded when your code runs (guessing here)

Set wb = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
wb.Navigate2 "www.gpro.se"
wb.Visible = True
Do Until wb.readystate = 4
DoEvents
Loop
 
Set ele = wb.document.forms("form1")
    ele.all("textlogin").Value = "[email protected]"
    ele.all("textpassword").Value = "pass"
    ele.submit

on this site the button does have a name and id, but it is not common for input buttons to have name

OK but how do I who what the buttons have for name? And for example how did you know that the place where to input the username is "textlogin"?The code doesnet work beacuse I think that you must have the name of the button and not jus Submit

[westconn1]

i assure you it works as i tested it, i ran the code exactly as posted, i was redirected to a page the says i must login first, as my username was invalid

OK but how do I who what the buttons have for name?

read the page source code
or loop through all the input elements in debug mode to check out all the properties

for each ele in wb.document.getelementsbytagname("input")
      if ele.type = "submit" then msgbox ele.name
next

How do I get to see the source code?

[westconn1]

open the page in your default browser, right click > view source

[worqy]

ok thank you.
And one last question:
what does the "ele.all" mean?

[westconn1]

in this case ele was an object for forms(1)
ele.all is all elements in form1

[worqy]

ele.all is all elements in form1

Ok thank you. Is there some other commands that I need to know.
For example how do I getdata from a site. Lets say www.gpro.se
If I want to print the time on the timer (next race.... in 1day 10h 20min 58sec) into a textbox

[westconn1]

you need to find the element that contains the timer, then read the appropriate property, which may be value

on looking at the source

				<font class="normal11" color="#FFFFFF">Season 16&nbsp;-&nbsp;Race&nbsp;14&nbsp;-&nbsp;<a href="TrackDetails.asp?id=34">Melbourne GP (Australia)</a>:&nbsp;October 6th 2009&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

					</object>

it would appear that the countdown is a movie so i have no idea about haw to display that in your form

if you can get the start time for the race it would be easier to calculate the difference using a timer

OK but lets take something else:
The top 16 Elite standings after race 13 of 17.
How do I inport that to my form and view it in a textbox of something

[westconn1]

try like this

Set es = wb.document.getelementbyid("table10")
For Each ele In es.getelementsbytagname("tr")
    For Each td In ele.getelementsbytagname("td")
        msg = msg & td.innertext & " "
    Next
    msg = msg & vbNewLine
Next
    MsgBox msg
