I have a win-form application that generates passwords that I would like to send directly over to a web page textbox like input as apart of a new user sign up. I found a similair question. (Fill Form C# & Post Error) But I dont think I am after the same goal. Is it possible to do this without using a macro or manually copy n pasting? The above post is in C# however I will ever using vb. If there is a answer on here please link, but I have gone through the forum.

How can I submit error reports to the developer (me) when coding in VB.NET?
I have made a Google Forms response form here. Is it possible to use the WebBrowser Control functions to paste a string into the TextBox in there and then click the button to submit it, all automatically?
Would it be better to use a different submission form service than this? I know that it uses complicated JavaScript to code everything. If it would be better to use a custom HTML website, how would you interact with that (I can probably figure out how to code the HTML itself)?
All help welcome!
OK, this was my solution: use System.Net.Mail and MailMessage and SMTP Credentials to send an email to the developer.
Someone at work asked me if I could implement an easy system for him to send out Outlook template-mails based on a few parameters he could enter.
An example would be a message like this:
"Hello,
Please be informed that system **Parameter1** is current down.
Regards,"
I was thinking about making a Form in Outlook VBA that would dynamically look for the amount of times a string styled like a parameter (e.g. ##parameters##) was found in a certain template and subsequently create a editbox in the form for each found parameter.
The problem is that I obviously would like to add an box for the recipients. I would need to find a way to make the call the Outlook Addressbook and make it behave like one. This was less intuitive than I had hoped. So far I have only managed to do the following:
Dim snd As Outlook.SelectNamesDialog
Dim displayLL As Boolean
Set snd = Application.Session.GetSelectNamesDialog()
snd.NumberOfRecipientSelectors = Outlook.OlRecipientSelectors.olShowTo
snd.AllowMultipleSelection = True
displayLL = snd.display()
As you can see, this only pops up the addressbook and allows me to select an few addresses. But I'm stumped on how I can actually make some fields that will actually act like the "To:" and "CC:" fields in a regular Outlook mail.
Not sure how relevant this is, considering I eventually took quite a different route, but I thought I'd still add this since no-one answered.
I simply created a form that would list all templates by searching through the templates folder in the %AppData%. I would then loop through the entire mail looking for parameter-styled strings and ask for the desired value each time I would encounter such a string (through a simply inputbox). Instead of adding a custom "recipients" box, I simply opened a new mail with the parameters filled out correctly.
The user could then simply add recipients to the mail like he usually would, and he was fine with this. That way, he was also able to double-check if the mail indeed looked exactly like he wanted to.
Nothing fancy or something that a 7-year old wouldn't be able to do, but it works.
I want to create a program to fetch information from a website (that's fine). However, you need to be logged in to get this information.
I just want two simple textbox controls that I would type my username and password into and hit submit and the information would be returned to me so I can use it. (I don't want to use a webbrowser control)
Sorry if I wasn't clear
And also
(this really isn't important, but its up to you if you want to answer, it's probably hard)
How would I go about checking if I am still logged into a website or not (as in TRUE or FALSE)
you can pass credentials into a HttpWebRequest object.
You could use a webbrowser control since it is easy, and just set its display to not visible - the user would never see anything. You could still interact with the page just like normal. You could use the same control to log yourself out by clicking on the logout button. You would set everything up and test it with visible=true, and when it all works, set visible to false.
This should be pretty a pretty common scenario, but I have not found a solution yet.
I would like to highlight some text within the body of an e-mail and then click on something (context menu, toolbar button, etc) to perform a URL navigation using the selected text. For example, highlight the Fex Ex tracking number and then navigate to their web site using it as a query parameter (like "ww.fedextracking.com?packageid=12345").
How can you capture the selected text within an e-mail and then perform an action? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or examples.
Thank you!
For Outlook 2007-2010 (or previous versions using WordMail), you can retrieve a Word object from the Inspector.WordEditor property. Then you can work with Word.Selection to access the selected text.
However, for Plain Text or Rich Text scenarios with Outlook 2000-2003, you have to use the SafeInspector object with Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/) to access the selected text. I can't remember, but for HTML format messages with Outlook 2003-2003 you may be able to access the selected text with the IHTMLDocument object retrieved from SafeInspector.
I appreciate it's 588 days since you asked your question Loki70, but if somebody else Googles up this page (like I did, looking for how to create a selected text right-click context menu entry) then this may be an answer for you.
I have been using AutoHotKey, which works not just in Outlook, but everywhere in Windows, and have been writing utilities to Google the selected text, open an SSH session in PuTTY to the selected hostname, and similar.
If you don't mind running an extra application on your PC to capture the hotkey combination that you send, then this would do exactly what you're asking.
Here is my post on the AutoHotKey forum with a link to my code:

It would be trivial to adapt this to do the FedEx query you've mentioned.
I hope this helps.
I'm a noob to VB.NET and I was wondering how to make something you type into a textbox on the application type that text into a website textbox and submit whats in the textbox by pressing a button? I am using visual studio 2008.
That is a little tricky to do, but it is possible. However, without more details on the specific browser or what you are trying to copy over, you aren't going to get a lot of answers on here.
Better Suggestion: Have you considered instead of trying to control the browser via "voodoo", that you might just have your VB.NET application submit the form/request directly to the web server and cut out the middle-man (the browser)?
I'm assuming you're trying to POST data to a web form from some other application. Check this out; it's in C# but you can translate it to VB.NET. It uses a WebBrowser control and the SetAttribute method to set input values on the web form.
// C#
WebBrowser browser;
...
browser.Document.GetElementById("username").SetAttribute("value", "MyUsername");
...
form.InvokeMember("submit");
