Manipulate/Change/Form Fill data in webpages using the Webbrowser control - Page 7

kleinma · Dec 14th, 2007, 11:12 AM

the fact that a given link may be inside a set of <form> tags should not exclude it from the links collection. However if the page has frames or some other structure to it, then that can cause the issue.

First thing to do is identify if infact this is a frameset page or not..

Thanks, sorry I said forms earlier, but I meant frames... I'm not sure how to identify the frames on a page... (I am using IE Developer toolbar to identify all the other elements but can't see the frames).

If I right click on the area in IE and go to 'view source' I can of course see the html (below), but I don't see any frame tags exactly, there is a mention of myiframe, is this this the frame (what's the best way to idenify a frame - sorry I don't know much about this!)...

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Billing</title>
<META http-equiv='Content-Type' content='text/html; charset=UTF-8'>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/ivechangedthis.css">
<script language='JavaScript'>
function dyniframesize()
{
  if (document.getElementById)
  {
     //begin resizing iframe procedure
     var dyniframe = window.parent.document.getElementById('myiframe');
     var newHeight = 800;

the easiest way to determine actual frames is using the IE dev toolbar like you mention you have.

the webbrowsers document property is the highest level document in the page. In the case of a frames page, this document generally has little more than the outline of how each individual frame will be displayed (ie where it will show up) and also what the source URL is for each frame.

Being that each frame has its own URL, it also has its own document. So EACH frame contains a document object, and that is where the HTML you want to get at is.

Now if you know the framenumber (by index) or the frame name/id (if it has one) then you can access frames by those values. If not, you can also loop all frames, and inside that loop, loop all links in each frames document.

it would look like this:

Code:

        'LOOP ALL FRAMES OF THE MAIN DOCUMENT
        For Each frameWindow As HtmlWindow In WebBrowser1.Document.Window.Frames
            'LOOP EACH LINK IN THE CURRENT FRAME
            For Each element As HtmlElement In frameWindow.Document.Links
                If element.GetAttribute("href").Contains("Call_Detail_Records") Then
                    element.InvokeMember("Click")
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next
        Next

note that the exit for that is called only will exit the inner loop. You might want to put this code in its own subroutine so you can call exit sub once the link is found and clicked, to avoid the routine looking through the rest of the page when it does not have to.

See this screenshot. I found a random frames page example on the web, then using the IE dev toolbar, I can see that the main document is a frameset, and has 2 frames, and you can see each frame has its own document object which we can access.

JFitz · Dec 17th, 2007, 05:03 AM

That's excellent. That worked. But why it worked is still a puzzle.

When I only use the code inner loop (For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser.Document.Links) then, as I say, the three links in the centre of the page (which are perhaps in another frame) are skipped.

Now, when I include your outer loop and loop the frames (For Each frameWindow As HtmlWindow In WebBrowser.Document.Window.Frames) the three links in the centre of the page are now included in the inner loop BUT it looks as though there is only one frame because the outer loop only does one pass (there is no second framewindow to loop).

Does that make any sense to you? By looping the frames, the three central links were included (whereas before they weren't) but it still appears that there is only one frame as the outer loop only does 1 iteration. Why does the code work?

Comparing the html from the ie developer toolbar there is only

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<BODY>

and no mention of framesets, so I'm getting the impression there is only one frame on this webpage? Well, either way it works now so it's not a problem but I'd be interestd to know what's going on there?

Thanks a bunch!

kleinma · Dec 17th, 2007, 12:32 PM

even if there is only one frame, the page will still have the frameset page, and then the encapsulated frame which has the HTML you want to get at.

So it makes sense that it works with my outer loop even when there is only 1.

Without that loop of the frames pages, you are still only looking in the main document, which has nothing but information about the frame that will fill up the window.

JFitz · Dec 18th, 2007, 03:52 AM

Ah ok great.

Can you help me with one final question, eh, well can I be greedy and ask for two!?

I remember reading somewhere here the mention of being able to gain control of a pop up window but don't remember seeing how to do it. I have a window which pops up and loads some text. I then want to save this as a .html file. Can I do it?

And also, I have scoured the web trying to find out how to do a 'save target as', you know, instead of simply clicking a link and bringing up an IE dialog box prompting whether you want to save or not, I would like to simulate a right click 'save target as' event so I can save straight onto my hard drive. Is it possible? I get the feeling it probably isn't?

Thanks for you help! JF

kleinma:
I have tried your example and it seems to work in VB2008 but if I start from scratch and just copy in your code for a button to my project it doesn't work it seems to have something to do with the windows form genertated code. The error I get is on the 3 webBrowser.Document.forms.item(, 0) lines and the error is overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Item' accepts this number of arguments. How do I make it generate the windows form code for my own project?
Also I tried using a URL of https://www.harrahs.com/MyHarrahs.do with:
webBrowser.Document.forms.item(, 0).elements("accountId").value = "15701390709"
webBrowser.Document.forms.item(, 0).elements("pin").value = "1234"
webBrowser.Document.forms.item(, 0).submit()
but it comes back with a totally blank page instead of an error page, the ID and password are fake, or the correct status page with correct login info.

My code that generates the error is:
Imports System.Web
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.harrahs.com/MyHarrahs.do")
End Sub

Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).elements("accountId").value = "1234567"
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).elements("pin").value = "1234"
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms.Item(, 0).submit()
End Sub

End Class

here is my html sample
I'm trying to simulator automate filling of data to the webBrowser:
<html>
<head>
<form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get">
Username: <input type="text" name="user">
<br><input type="radio" name="sex" value="male"> Male
<br><input type="radio" name="sex" value="female"> Female
<br><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike
<br><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car
<br><input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Airplane">I have an airplane
<br><input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</head>
</html>

using vs2005, vb.net
FwebBrowser.Document.GetElementById("sex").SetAttribute("Gender", "male")
FwebBrowser.Document.GetElementById("vehicle").SetAttribute("Cartype", "Bike")

I had resolved text boxes, button click events, drop down list but coming to radio buttons and checkbox, I failed.

I couldn't understand how do I set the rdo btn o chkbox to "checked"
can someone guide me

I have a little bit of a problem. I did not see that it was covered previously, if it was I apologize.

I am attempting to create a password manager that automatically saves username and password information from a web page and fills it back in when you revisit the same web page. My dilemma is accurately finding the "User Name" element and "Password" element for each web page. Since every page can have different names, tag-names, etc.

I have been playing around with a couple of different methods, sometimes they work, with some pages that have multiple "input" elements and I cannot correctly identify the correct elements. My thought process so far has been to find an element on the page who’s type is "password", then find the element right before that that is a standard "input". Does anyone know if there is a way to get this information, and fill it back in accurately with any web page?

This is the source code that I am playing around with right now. Any ideas? Thanks.

HTMLDoc = iE7.Document
iHTMLCol = HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("input")

For Each iHTMLEle In iHTMLCol
If Not LCase(iHTMLEle.type) = "hidden" Then
Debug.Print(iHTMLEle.name & " [" & iHTMLEle.type & "]")
Debug.Print(iHTMLEle.value)
Debug.Print("")
End If

'For iForm = HTMLDoc.forms.length - 1 To 0 Step -1
'For iElem = HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.length - 1 To 0 Step -1
'Debug.Print(HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).type)
'If HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).type = "password" Then _
'HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).value = "password"

'If HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).type = "input" Then
'HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).value = "User Name"
'End If
'Next iElem
'Next iForm
Next

I tried the paypal example and it worked fine with paypal but my form at https://www.harrahs.com/TotalRewards/Login does not have IDs only names. How can I get it to work w/o the IDs?
Thanks for any help.

kleinma · Feb 13th, 2008, 03:50 PM

ok guys. I have been real busy recently, so I wanted to just let you know I will address your questions individually soon when I have some free time.

I also plan on doing a full port of this code including some changes and enhancements over to 2008 pretty soon.

ed08724 · Feb 14th, 2008, 01:10 PM

I got my previous example w/o IDs to work with the following code but I can not figure how to click the Sign In button. Could someone please check the source code from the website https://www.harrahs.com/MyHarrahs.do and let me know how I can click the Sign In button. Just doing a submit for the whole form does not work.
Thanks.

For Each element As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input")
If element.GetAttribute("name") = "accountId" Then element.SetAttribute("value", "157013907069")
If element.GetAttribute("name") = "pin" Then element.SetAttribute("value", "1234")
Next

Because your have elements all named the same thing (vehicle and sex) there is no way to simply grab one like you are doing and set a value. Trying to grab just one will just give you the first matching element. You need to grab them all, and loop them until you are on the element you want, then take action on it.

Radio buttons and Checkboxes often have the same name or id properties, so this is approach needed often when dealing with these.

First I use this subroutine to check/uncheck a radio or checkbox.

Code:

    Private Sub ToggleHTMLCheckOrRadio(ByVal Checked As Boolean, ByVal CheckboxOrRadio As HtmlElement)
        Try
            If Checked Then
                If Not Convert.ToBoolean(CheckboxOrRadio.GetAttribute("checked")) Then
                    CheckboxOrRadio.InvokeMember("click")
                End If
            Else
                If Convert.ToBoolean(CheckboxOrRadio.GetAttribute("checked")) Then
                    CheckboxOrRadio.InvokeMember("click")
                End If
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MessageBox.Show("Error occured toggling checkbox/radio: " & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub

Then you need to call this code like so:

Code:

        For Each RadioButton As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.All.GetElementsByName("sex")
            If RadioButton.GetAttribute("value") = "male" Then
                ToggleHTMLCheckOrRadio(True, RadioButton)
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        For Each RadioButton As HtmlElement In WebBrowser1.Document.All.GetElementsByName("vehicle")
            If RadioButton.GetAttribute("value") = "Bike" Then
                ToggleHTMLCheckOrRadio(True, RadioButton)
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

Notice how I grab all elements that match the given name/id. Then I loop them till I find the one with the correct value. Once I find that, I pass that element to the routine to check the checkbox or select the radio by invoking a click on it as if the mouse has clicked it.

HTMLDoc = iE7.Document iHTMLCol = HTMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("input") For Each iHTMLEle In iHTMLCol If Not LCase(iHTMLEle.type) = "hidden" Then Debug.Print(iHTMLEle.name & " [" & iHTMLEle.type & "]") Debug.Print(iHTMLEle.value) Debug.Print("") End If 'For iForm = HTMLDoc.forms.length - 1 To 0 Step -1 'For iElem = HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.length - 1 To 0 Step -1 'Debug.Print(HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).type) 'If HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).type = "password" Then _ 'HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).value = "password" 'If HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).type = "input" Then 'HTMLDoc.forms.item(, iForm).elements.item(, iElem).value = "User Name" 'End If 'Next iElem 'Next iForm Next

How can I get it to work w/o the IDs? Thanks for any help.

I have been real busy recently, so I wanted to just let you know I will address your questions individually soon when I have some free time. I also plan on doing a full port of this code including some changes and enhancements over to 2008 pretty soon. __________________ Using VB.NET 2008/.NET 2.0/3.5 * Please mark you thread resolved using the Thread Tools above PLEASE INDICATE WHAT VERSION OF VB YOU USE!!!!!!!!!!! * If you found a post useful then please Rate it!

Could someone please check the source code from the website https://www.harrahs.com/MyHarrahs.do and let me know how I can click the Sign In button. Just doing a submit for the whole form does not work. Thanks.
