I've been trying to figure out the ID of a button on a webpage in the VB webbrowser, but as VB uses an outdated web browser so the webpage loads differently to chrome so I can't figure out what the ID of the button is.
Is there any way I can get the ID of a focused element with some code?
Or alternatively, what web browser does VB use, so I can do figure it out manually.
Thanks!

In VB.NET, I have a windows form where I have a WebBrowser component. I am using proxies to navigate to pages and some proxies are dead/too slow so I want the program to switch to another proxy.
My question is, how can I detect if the WebBrowser has been trying to load the page for a set period of time e.g. it has been 5 seconds since it has been trying to load the page fully?
I am using HTML elements to automate the web browser btw, not sure if this is relevant information though.
Is there a way to use VB.NET to close MessageBox controls created by JavaScript in VB.NET webbrowser?
I do not want to disable JavaScript in the webbrowser, just to close the MessageBox controls (like clicking their "X" button). I could not get help from search engines. Help appreciated.
Vb.net is serverside and rendered before javascript as the javascript is client side and rendered on browser. So there is not such way closing alert pop up via server side code.
Neither it is possible via jquery on client side
I have a piece of code that opens a web page in my default browser (IE10).
Dim url As String
url = "http://www.google.com"
Process.Start(url)
How do I then pass a value to the text box on that page. I am using google as an example. I am using VS2013, VB and asp.net
Thanks
This video should give you all of the information that you need. It is a tutorial on creating an automatic yahoo login from vb, but it will show you how to pass values to a textbox on a webpage, as well as working with other webpage controls.
NOTE: You will need to navigate to the page and view source to get the id of the controls
I am opening a web site in a vb.net 2008 webbrowser control. I want when I open the 3rd page of the web site then after the page is loaded , control focus programmatic-ly by Triggering TAB keypresses automatically by my code . Please tell me the solution to shift the focus control ?
I don't know if I have understood your question right, but you could try the following,
Keep track of whether you are on the third page in your web-browser control. If you are, you can execute a JavaScript function, which changes the focus of the text-fields.
Page.ClientScript.RegisteredStartUpScript(GetTypeOf(), "function_change_tabs", script, True)
I use a webbrowser control (in C# - latest version of visual studio and .NET) to allow me to read and write data to a specific web page. Everything is OK until I reach the point that the page attempts to open a pdf document in a new window (the page contains javascript code).
The new window opens OK on my IE. But nothing appears when the webbrowser control opens the new window...
I've tried setting firefox as my default browser to see if it makes any difference but no good came out of it. The webbrowser control still opened IE.
I've tried catching the event of the new window and refer the url to another webbrowser control... no success again!
How can I get the pdf document? And why would the new window open but not display the pdf?
