VB.NET 2005 WebBrowser Control Button Click

[neilkonitzer]

Greetings,
I am now using VB.NET 2005 and have a Winforms application with a WebBrowser control. I am trying to programmatically simulate entering in values on the web form and then following it by clicking a button on the form.

While I have no problem populating the text controls on the form with no problem...

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("username").InnerText = "testLogin"
WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("password").InnerText = "testPassword"

I am not able to find a way to simulate clicking on the form's login button.

Anyone have any ideas?

For instance, WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("login").Click (the method does not exist)

Thanks in advance!

NOTE: I am familiar with using the COM web browser component, but would prefer to handle this with managed code.

1. The "login" is ID or name? I say this in case you saw wrong.
2. Is it in a 'form' container?
3. Do this: WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("login").click()

* I personally have done this thing; i mean to enter credentials and last hit the submit button.


Hope this helps you!

You are correct if I were using the COM component; however, I am using the WebBrowser control that comes part of .NET 2.0.

Of cource you are right! I'm sorry.

Here it is:

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("ButtonID").RaiseEvent("onclick")

NOTICE: The ButtonID IS CASE SENSITIVE !


Hope this helps you.
