Launch IE and input data

Launch IE and input data

• Dennis_K

  Hi,

  I have been working for some time on this without success.

  I am trying to make the Process.Start method work. (The webbrowser control, I think, is not what I need)

  The specific method that seems that would work is:

  Process.Start Method (String, String, String, SecureString, String)

  I would use something like

  Process.Start Method ("iexplorer.exe", "www.mywebsite.com", "user ID", "SecureString for password", "domain String")

  Two issues:

  1. How do I input a SecureString with my password

  2. What do I use for domain string if I am in a network without a domain

  Can anybody show a code sample of how to do this

  Thanks,

  Antonio

  ok, i think I hope I am getting closer.

  I believe I can now generate the secure password.

  I get error with the domain, I am within a workgroup and I have tried the name of the workgroup or blank

  Public Sub main()

  Dim ss As New SecureString()

  ss.AppendChar("p"c)

  ss.AppendChar("a"c)

  ss.AppendChar("s"c)

  ss.AppendChar("s"c)

  Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "http://login.yahoo.com/config/login", "userid", ss, "")

  End Sub

  I don't think I'd doit this way at all. I would not attempt this with IE itself.

  The best way to proceed is with the WebBrowser control.

  Have it navigate to the url.

  In the Naigated Event handler after ascertaining you are on the right page...

  There are a couple ways you could proceed. The easiest is to use sendkeys.

  The more elegant way to to use DOM programming or MSHTML to find the input elements representing the username and password input element and writing to them them firing it's OK button.

  The webrowser control is actually a sibset of IE. The control will do almost everything IE will. However, it's not going to help you with IE :(

  Hi Renee,

  Thank you for your help.

  I know how to use the webbrowser control to create my own browser and navigate with it.

  However, I do not want to create my own browser. I want to stay with IE

  Can the webbrowser control be used with IE

  Thanks,

  Antonio
