Automaticaly Click 1

Is there a way to automatically click something?

Hire a monkey.

You can call the click method

button1_Click(button1, EventArgs.Empty);

Yes but you cannot get to it by tabing over and hitting enter.

Is it your website or someone elses?

Typically, a button submits a form to perform a specified action. You could implement javascript to submit the form for you.

Using a windowsapplication (not command line) you could add a reference to mshtml. You can then use the WebBrowser control axWebBrowser1 to capture the document and see if there's a way to use the button from there.

axWebBrowser1.LoadHTML(

http://www.yourplace.com);

//Once loaded (you may have to put this in the documentcomplete event handler)

mshtml.HTMLDocument doc = (mshtml.HTMLDocument)axWebBrowser1.Document;

then you may be able to play with a property in the doc.

This is pulled from my head so it's not accurate!


P.S. Guru7777 - I offer my services but I'm expensive

Is there any way to see the page you're working with?

 

[rstum2005]

Nope it has a password. My console program goes to the site and opens a page. There is then a little toolbar on the page with an Excel icon which I have to click to download the spreadsheet. I could automate it using sendkey() but I cannot get to the button via TAB so i therfore must click it. This website is not my own.

Here's a HACK solution for you:

If the button is in the same location after you maximize the browser window, then you could do a sendClick to the screen.

This is a hack solution though - will work ok if it's just you using it!
