Hi,

I want to use the SendKeys Methode to send keystrokes to a Webbrowser Control. Think about a form with the Webbrowser control and a button.

If you click on the button the key "a" should be send to the webbrowsercontrol. So i have informed myself and found the SendKey Methode. (the current code)

webBrowser1.Focus();

SendKeys.Send("a");

Now my Problem! This is working but only every second click. So assume you click on the button the first time, then this wont work. When you click again on the button the a appears in the Webbrowser...

I also used webBrowser1.select(); and Sendkeys.Sendwait("a");

Any suggestions how this could be?

Thanks

Shlomi

Hi,
If you know the id of the tag you can use below given code

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("submit").InvokeMember("click")

if you dont know the id you can follow this code
foreach (System.Windows.Forms.HtmlElement html in WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("a"))
{
if (html.InnerText == "YOUR TEXT")
{
html.InvokeMember("click");
}
}

Hi,

Well, there is improvement but in order the webbrowser will get the command I need to click on it.

Once I click on it, every time I sendkeys it is ok.

How can I send "click" to webbrowser ?

Thanks

Hi,

Instead of
webBrowser1.Focus();
Try this
webBrowser1.Document.Focus();
