Dear All,

How do you communicate with a web browser and the open web site?

Here is what I want to do:

I have a open web site in Internet Explorer with a FORM (text boxes, scroll
boxes, and a SUBMIT button). It has over 10 text boxes. They all have a
NAME= property. How do I find these and fill them in with text?

Then I want to press the SUBMIT button. How can I approach this?

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Farshad Hemmati

Try...

Dim cntrl as  variant ' or textbox
For each cntrl in Form1.controls 'or name of form
   if typeof(cntrl) is text then
       'put text in textboxes
       cntrl.text="what text you want to put in"  'not sure about this line
   end  if
next cntrl
'press submit button ?
submit.value=true ' assumes button is called submit
'    ............................................................any use?

I am not trying to do anything with my own form. I want to find the hWND of
the Internet Explorer window and then find out the hWND of the dynamically
loaded textbox that they use inside the web browser in the FORMS. Then I
want to change the property and then press the SUBMIT button (also
dynamically loaded for use in the web site.

Farshad,

    What you suggest isn't the right way to go about it.

    What you want to do is get the running instance of Internet Explorer.
Look at Knowledge Base article Q176792 for information on how to do this.

    Once you have the instance you want, you can access the form through the
document property of Internet Explorer, and use the Document Object Model to
get access to the form, the textboxes, everything, populate the values, and
then submit them.
