Keying into proprietary IE based application
Keying into proprietary IE based application
(OP)
I am trying to use Attachmate to run scripted entry into a proprietary system that presents using IE. It seems to me that there should be a way to emulate the keyboard type entry to this web style page, and tab through inputboxes, and buttons, to enter the elements required for the assigned task. I can do it with my keyboard, why not with a script?
I can open the window using...
Set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.navigate(sURL)
oIE.visible = True
but am stuck at this point. The first input is a typed in Username and Password with a "Login" button. The page is written in Javascript, but I was hoping for a generic "keyboard replacement" solution that would allow me to navigate throughout this application, something on the order of o_Session.Screen.Sendkeys("A<Ctrl+M>")
Is this even possible?
