Filling ASP fields from VB 1

[KarMac21]

Hi all,

I have a simple question (I hope). Is it possible to fill fields on an asp page from VB?

For example:

There is a website I visit daily and want to be able to enter my ID and Password in my vb program and have that prefill the webpage with the same info.

If this possible?

Thanks for your help,
Shane

Yes this is possible, you should post this msg though in Visual Basic forum.

You'll need to use visual basic's webcontrol, then access the document from the webcontrol and input your userid and password programtically.

I can see how you would need to use the webcontrol for this, but still, how would you reference the document from your webcontrol?

Could you give us an example in code of how you would go about doing this?

Ok here yah go:

Create a new project in VB, add the component "Microsoft internet controls"

Place the web control on the form. Name the webcontrol wb1 . Add a button to the form, place in the buttons onclick event the following code:


wb1.Navigate "

http://www.ireland.com/services/email"

Dim GWB As WebBrowser
Dim objUserID As Object
Dim objPassword As Object

Set GWB = wb1

Set objUserID = GWB.Document.getElementsByName("username&quot
Set objPassword = GWB.Document.getElementsByName("password&quot

objUserID.Item(1).Value = "myurerid"
objPassword.Item(1).Value = "mypassword"


You will need to find out what name they use on your specific website and change the getElementsByName above, also you'll need to check if the collection returned by getElementsByName which position in the collection your specific input falls but it works.

Change the navigate from the onclick button to inside the webcontrol itself or onload of the form.

And there you have it.

Enjoy!
