how to manipulate controls on child window from an internet explorer using VB
That is a an Extremely, hugely, massively, VERY broad question. Please provide more details.
Hi HanneSThEGreaT ,
I am going to narrowate my question to the following, I wrote a smiple program to automate certain actions on an internet explorer window. I got to a point when a click on a textbox fires up another instance of IE named Calander , it has on it 2 dropdown boxes and links. The 2 dropdown boxes are to select the month and the year. The links are to select the day. Once one of the links is clicked on , the Calander instance closes , and the textbox on the previous window gets populated with the date.
Now my question is how to set an object to IE Calander to manipulate both dropdown boxes and links ??
thanks for help
Here is a picture of how the Calander looks like
Looks like an ONLINE reference to someone else's calendar. Correct?
Is what I am asking about very hard to do ? I have not seen interests in my question.
dglienna : I am just doing my work. It is a project I have to complete. thanks for your post anyhow ...
I can't be of much help as I have never saw a need to automate an internet explorer window. If I were to have a need to automote a web site I would write a browser for it.
I want to automate the task of fetching data from data base and populating the same data into a web application. So I need to find a way to control and manipulate popups/child windows. If there is a way to attach Hwnd of a child window to an object like ( set ie_obj_window = ie.hwnd ), I believe I am almost done .
That's one of the reasons that IE6 is being killed off. Browser security is supposed to prevent the bad guys from changing the user's browser
I am not sure why some one is trying to make me feel asif I am doing something wrong.
