Fill in textboxes programatically in ASPX

[Guest]

Thank you in advance for any and all assistance, it is GREATLY appreciated.

I'm trying to programatically fill in textboxes in an aspx page from vb.net
2005 using the Shell command to call the webpage. I would like to know if
there is a way to programmatically hard code textbox information, like
UserName and Password to a specific website. If so, can someone give me some
code sample of how to use the Shell function?

Hi,

You may call Shell() with AppWinStyle.NormalFocus to focus the opened
browser window, then use SendKey to simulate your input.

For example:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim procID As Integer
procID = Shell("""c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe""
""http://www.hotmail.com""", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("someone")
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("{TAB}")
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("password")
End Sub

I hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.

Sincerely,

Walter,

Thank you. With a little modification I have the fields filled in, now I'm
needing the code to programmatically send the {ENTER} key to the website.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your quick update.

I suppose what you needed is a call to:

System.Windows.Forms.Sendkeys.Send("{ENTER}")
