Webbrowser And Right Click Code Issue
Hi all,
I made some code to right click and it works... except when i try to use it for for what i want, which is inside the webbrowser.. can any one see why this code doesnt work ?
Do i have to supress the ie right click some how in order to get my code to run ?

Code:
Private Sub WebBrowser1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

If Button = 2 Then
MsgBox "here"
frmRightClick.Show
frmRightClick.Left = txtTmpH.text * 15
frmRightClick.Top = txtTmpL.text * 15
Else
DoEvents
End If
If Button = 1 Then
Unload frmRightClick
End If
End Sub

Webbrowser DocumentComplete Issue
I have created a program where I can automatically fill up form and submit, but there are times that I got an error when the program tried to fillup the web form adn submit it.

I have put the code to fillup the web form inside the webbrowser documentcomplete event

e.g. Private Sub web1_DocumentComplete(ByVal pDisp As Object, URL As Variant)
'Fill up form
with web1.document
.all("UserName").value=text1.text
.all("pass").value=text2.text
.all("Submit").click
end with
End Sub

this code work sometimes and sometimes get an error saying Object variable not define....

I guess the computer or program work faster than the loading of the webbrowser document...

Is there a way to do this like doing some loop until the webbrowser completely loaded?

WebBrowser Control Issue
Hello!

I'm developing a application which will display some menus made in HTML with WebBrowser control.
I made everything, including translating clicks on links in HTML to VB events. But there is a thing that I can't do:
I don't want my users to freely modify my HTMLs. I rename it for xxxxx.dat, but anyone can click with button 2 and choose "View Source", modify the code, save and **** me... =(

My question is:
There is some way to make the menu doesn't appears when user hit the button 2 of mouse in the WebBrowser control?

WebBrowser Control Issue
I created an ActiveX which views currently just TIF and HTML files (giving a number of custom-designed functions). To show the HTML, I include a WebBrowser control, and display the image in there.

I need to show PDF files now, and would like to do so in the WebBrowser control (Acrobat must, of course, be present on the system). Problem is, while it works fine with Win 98 and IE 5.0, it doesn't in Win 2000 and IE 5.5 or 6.0. The problem seems to be IE - as backing up to IE 5.0 on Win 2000 solves the issue.

Has anyone heard of any problems with the WebBrowser control in IE 5.5 or 6.0 (and being used inside of a custom ActiveX control)???

Thanks for any help you can render.

Listview Click Issue
Basically here is my issue.
I have a listview populated with large icons that make up the navigation of a certain part of my application.
When someone clicks one of the icons the code fires in the listview_ItemClick
before the mouse button is released.
So when someone is dragging one of the navigation buttons to re-sort it the event is firing in mid-drag.

At first I wanted to just disable dragging which appears to be impossible.
So now I am trying to find out how I can wait to fire the click event until after the user takes their finger off the mouse button (mouseup).
And if they just dragged the icon I wouldn't fire the click event since they were dragging and not selecting.

Thanks in advance

Issue With The Webbrowser Control, And Frames.
Specifically I am trying to access an HTML frameset with the WebBrowser control, I want to automate some parts of a web application while still allowing user interaction with the web application.

In one of these frames data is loaded (I believe from JavaScript, but not sure).

There is a username and password box that I need to fill in from my application and then submit the form.

Basically I am having troubles accessing the underlying code that is there...

If I open the site in IE and Right-Click > View Source I can see the HTML form just fine. However, I am having trouble accessing any source other than that of the framest.

Any ideas?

The URL in question is https://watson.t-mobile.com/watson.html

Thanks to anyone in advance

Webbrowser Control Timing Issue
Any ideas on how to determine when a page is fully loaded in the webbrowser control before proceeding?

I have tried using .busy = T/F? and it doesn't seem reliable to me. If a website loads the page THEN loads an ad/banner, then the webbrowser control becomes busy again for a split second.

I've created a global variable that is switched to "done" or "loading..." in the NavigateComplete2 and BeforeNavigate2, respectively. This, too, will not work 100% with what I am doing for some reason and is not reliable.

I want the program to wait until two certain input fields come up on the page then I want to fill those fields with text. Then I want it to hit the submit button. All of my code works fine when the page is already loaded and sitting there on the webbrowser control. However, if I try to put them in the same sub using something like "doevents" after the .navigate command, it tries to find the input fields too quickly before the page loads. Here is my code example that doesn't work 100% of the time (only works if the page loads extremely fast!)

Code:
WebBrowser1.Navigate "http://www.website.com/somepage.html"
DoEvents
While WebBrowser1.Busy = True
DoEvents
Wend

WebBrowser1.Document.Forms("MessageForm").elements("subject").Value = "This is a subject"
WebBrowser1.Document.Forms("MessageForm").elements("body").Value = "This is the body"
Eventually, I would want it to submit to my webpage then wait again (in the same subroutine) for the return page to come back saying the website got the message I just sent to it. Then from there, click another button and wait once again. So you can see why I'm needing to have it know EXACTLY when the ENTIRE page has loaded.

It gives this error about 10% of the time:
Run-time error '91'
Object variable or With block variable not set

Now, I could make an "on error goto" kinda deal and make it loop back up but that's tends to lead to ugly/inefficient/unreliable code as well

Any thoughts?

WebBrowser Control Memory Issue
First yes I know there are better ways of doing this but this is the way this project had to be done.

App visits 10k different pages.

So after it checks one it goes to the next to check it. The problem is the memory usage just keeps on increasing. It starts out around 13k by the time its done with the 10k pages it's over 600,000k so after the first few thousand pages it starts slowing down and down and down.

I have been googling and searching here. Only solution to the leak was to set it to Check stored pages every visit to the page but that won't help me since they are all different pages. It only clears when I restart the project but then the cycle of mem usage starts to build right back up.

I'm assuming caching each page in memory so is there a way to have it not store the pages or to clear them out every so often? Any solutions out there?

WebBrowser Control Sound Issue
Hello there!

We are thinking about adding something similar to a forum in our HTML help (Which is going to be a WebBrowser control that will navigate through local and external pages). However, the WebBrowser control refreshes every certain time and a "click" is heard whenever this happens.

My question is... Is there a way to mute this "click" in the WebBrowser control? The goal of the program is not to mess with the sounds of the system nor force the user to turn it off or anything like that. Could anyone please help me?

Thank you very much

Webbrowser Control Refresh Issue
Is there a method to force a webbrowser control to download a fresh copy of the navigated page? (rather than a cached copy).

Here's what I'm doing:

I'm downloading an html page that loads a 1MB picture into a webbrowser control. I'm timing the the load time so I can approximate the users actual connection speed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Harold

WebBrowser Object Scrollbar Issue
I am a "newbie" with respect to VB 6. My issues is, the scrollbar appears on right side of WebBrowser Object and I wish to remove it. Is this possible? If not, does anyone have a suggestion on how to hide it (i.e. underneath another object)?

Thanks for any help!

Right Click Context Menu Issue
I have a project that displays several data items within a frame, and in a number of text boxes within that frame.

I have it set up to respond to left and right mouse clicks anywhere within the frame, and need it to respond identically no matter where within the frame and no matter what control the mouse is over when clicked. ( ie want only one mouse click function for the entire area ).

The left click works fine and the right click works fine unless over a text box, where I get the standard context menu popup.

In forums, I find the 'best' approach of subclassing the text boxes to kill the menu. I have tried placing a transparent label over the entire area and setting its zorder to insure that it is on top. Why does the top label control not catch the mouse click, rather than pass it thru to a text box below??

Issue Loading Pages With WebBrowser Control
Hello All,

I'm using the WebBrowser Control to load a web page and parse the HTML in my app using the MSHTML class. But I'm having an odd fluke that happens when I set the browser to load a page.

Here's the code:

Version 1

Code:
oIE.Navigate "http://www.website.com"
Do While oIE.Busy
DoEvents
Loop

Dim oDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Set oDoc = oIE.document

'code
'code
'....

Version 2

Code:
oIE.Navigate "http://www.website.com"
Do While oIE.readyState <> READYSTATE_COMPLETE
DoEvents
Loop

Dim oDoc As MSHTML.HTMLDocument
Set oDoc = oIE.document

'code
'code
'....

For Version 1, sometimes when I load the page, the loop would not wait for the page to fully load before continuing on to the rest of the code, which caused all kinds of errors. In Version 2, it seemed to wait until the page was loaded but then would hang on occasion. Is there something here that I am missing? The basic idea is just to wait until all the HTML comes in for the page so I can parse it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Postmessage VS Webbrowser Issue (experienced Coders Only (I Think!))
I have a bug... Actually, not a bug, but I suspect something is missing in my code... I'm using a postmessage statement to send a click to a webbrowser - and it partially works. Very odd. More details to come.

I am pasting my current code so that people can use it:

I am first browsing to a web page and then getting the webbrowser's HWND.

Code:
Private Sub cmdNavigateUrlAndGetHwnd_Click()
frmMain.Webbrowser.Navigate "http://www.google.com/"
Call proWaitUntilWebPageFullyLoaded()

webhwnd = GetBrowserHandle(Me.hwnd)
End Sub

(tell me if you need the GetBrowserHandle procedure)

Now I click this command button which will send tons of click to the webbrowser (google.com), at random x,y positions on the page.

Code:
Private Sub cmdClickThePage_Click()
Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To 1000
Call PostMessage(webhwnd, WM_LBUTTONDOWN, 0&, ByVal MakeDWord(Int(Rnd * 1000), Int(Rnd * 1000)))
DoEvents
Call PostMessage(webhwnd, WM_LBUTTONUP, 0&, 0&)
DoEvents
Call proWaitUntilWebPageFullyLoaded()
Next i
MsgBox "ended"
End Sub

I don't even need to use Winspector (or any other app) to check if the postmessages reaches the browser: when I click that command button, I can see the google page links (and buttons) flashing and getting focus one after the other. The problem is that they seem to only get focus without being clicked at all...

I've been trying to debug for some time now and I have no idea what to try next... Is sending a WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP enough? Must I use some sort of WM_MOUSEMOVE or something I don't know of?

I know this is a tough one. If you feel you can help, feel free to post.

(btw, I'm simply trying to master this postmessage method for clicking the mouse in a webbrowser. I know that a simple line of code (like this one: frmMain.Webbrowser.Document.Forms(0).submit.Click) could make a button click easily).

Thanks in advance, fellow programmers.

WebBrowser Control And Document Objects Lookup Issue In VB
Hi, there

I have tried to use WebBrowser Control in VB for some automation.

The problem I have is with the Document Objects lookup.

3 syntaxassume the form name is "abc", VB string variable FormName="abc"

msgbox WebBrowser1.Document.Forms("abc").Name
msgbox WebBrowser1.Document.abc.Name
msgbox WebBrowser1.Document.Forms(FormName).Name

the first two syntac works fine. but the third one never works...

I wonder what cause this and how to fix it.

The reason why I need to use a string variable is because I won't be able know the form name before runtime, and I certainly don't want to go through all Forms() collection to compare one after another to find the right now.

Another issue is that it seems there is no way to establish VB to VB callback style sub or function, right?

thanks in advance,

edmond

VB6 WebBrowser Object And The Open In New Window Issue [Cracked It Anyway]
I have a custom web browser that is nothing special jsut the browser object and a few basic controls (stop, refresh, back etc). It is used as part of a bigger project and works very well for my needs in all respect but one.

Some links open in a new window and IE6 is used... that kinda sucks as it undoes the whole reason for using my program.

How can I best deal with these links?

Ideally I'd like to find a way to open them in a new form within my project. I use a MDI and the "browser" is an MDI Child.

I've Googled on the subject but so far without success.

[VB6]Webbrowser && Right Click On A Link

[VB 6.0] Click Buttons With Webbrowser
I'm trying to make a program to upload images at deviantart, but i ran into some problems with choosing the category. It is a button where it says "Choose...", which i have no problem clicking, but then it opens a javascript (i guess) menu where you can choose from different categories, and finish with "OK" button to get back to the upload site. Look at the attached images to get an idea of what it looks like.

This is the html code which is changed when choosing a category:

Code:
<input type="hidden" name="catDesc" value="Please choose a category" id="catDesc"/>
and its the value property which is changed to i.e.: value="3D & Fractal Art, Fractal Art".
I can by using this code: MsgBox (WebBrowser1.Document.Forms("Form1")("catDesc").Value) get the text in that "label" on the website in a msgbox, and also see the changed category when i choose a new one, but if I for instance make this code: WebBrowser1.Document.Forms("Form1")("catDesc").Value) = "test" then nothing happens, which of course is understandable because I don't have authority to change in the label.
So this means I have to do it the hard way by going through the javascript popup, and that way choose the the category, but how could I do this?
(I've also attached the html code if anyone would need to look at that).
Thx for any help

Webbrowser Drop Down Click
The drop down box has 2 options:

Football
Basketball

Basically I check if the value is football, if it is i select basketball, and the page refreshes to the basketball options

This is the code that used to work:

VB Code:
If (web.Document.Forms(0).Item(8).Value = "0:FOOTBALL") Then web.Document.Forms(0).Item(8).selectedIndex = 1 web.Document.Forms(0).Item(8).Click End If

for some reason now, after the wbP.Document.Forms(0).Item(8).Click it just goes back to the football option,

anyone have any ideas?

Click Buttons With The Webbrowser-component?
The form looks like this:

<input name="submit" type="submit" value="New" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Load" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Save" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Open" />

As you can see all the buttons are named the same but with a different value.
I can't just use:
web.Document.All.submit.Click
To click on the "Open"-button for example.

How should I do to send a click from the Open-button?

Webbrowser - Unable To Click Button
I have a problem concerning clicking a button in a .asp webpage.

I really hope someone is able to help me.

Webbrowser Find And Click Hyperlink
Yes, I know you're thinking I just found this site and am posting this question without bothering to do a search for my answer. But believe me I've searched every tutorial on these forums and can not find the answer I am looking for.

I am trying to find a hyperlink in source code of a webpage and click it. This link has no id tags, no name tags, is not an image, and the tail end of the url always changes digits.

ccount</a></li><li><a href="http://umassd.facebook.com/privacy.php">Privacy</a></li><li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/logout.php?h=98bed71dbefecf99116ec43e21">Logout</a></li></ul></div><div id="page_body" class="pagebody fbframe"><div id="content_shadow"><div id="content" class="clearfix">

That is simply what I want to be clicked. Anyone please help! I can't get Regex to work and I believe there is an easier way. All I need is a loop that goes through the html looks for the word 'logout' or even 'http://www.facebook.com/logout.php' and get the whole url with the numbers and clicks it.

The link will always begin that way, and will always have the word 'Logout' right after it if that helps with the loop.

I'm not very lucky on forums with getting responses. But I appreciate ANYONE that can do this.

Webbrowser Javascript Link Click Help
I'm trying to "click" a link on a webpage using a vb program and the webbrowser control. I have searched this site and many others but with no help. I know how to click a standard link but the one I'm working on now is javascript.
