[RESOLVED] Question about SendKeys.Send

[Taem]

Hello,

I have a question regarding SendKeys.Send; everything I've read leads me to believe this code should output the text I assign SendKeys at the cursor location in google, but when the program activates SendKeys, webbrowser1 looses focus and there is no output. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? As a polite request, I already know how to do this using html.elements, but I'd like to try it a different way all the same; thank you.

Public Class Form1

   Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
       WebBrowser1.Navigate("www.google.com")
   End Sub

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        WebBrowser1.Focus()
        SendKeys.Send("yahoo!")

    End Sub
    

End Class

try,

WebBrowser1.Document.Body.Focus()
SendKeys.Send("yahoo!")

Nope . As soon as I click the button, the cursor just disappears as if the program focuses on another part of the document and no text is displayed. I should mention that I've tried multiple web sites, not just google.

Humm, I have nooooo idea why it wasn't working! I made a completely new worksheet and just input the code raw, no copy/paste, and now it works?!? Literally, nothing is different than what is in that code. Very strange. Well at least I know it works ! I'll add to your rep.
