Has anyone ever figured out how to (even using apis' anything)

To copy and paste to and from the VDS Browser?

I know you can use, BROWSER COPY,BROWSER1 to copy, but is there no way to paste to the browser1 ?

I think that BROWSER COPY just gets the text of the document that is in the browser window. So the converse would be DIALOG SET,BROWSER,@clipbrd(TEXT)

Will that,

Set the browser with the text from the clipboard or

put the text into say a form field that has the focus within the browser?
(is what i really need)

Does sending the keystroke for CTRL-V work?

No, it sets the clipboard text as a new document.

If you want to paste into individual fields, you would have to try Ctrl+V. But since there is no way to set the focus to a particular field (and since Tab doesn't work to move from one field to another) the browser element isn't much use for automating form filling.

Hi Jules,

Is this something that has been or can be, will be fixed in VDS6 do you know ?

The IEBrowser control itself is the problem it's not a bug or limitation in VDS.

I have the same problem with other programming languages that I use
that also have an IE browser component.

Hi All,
If you are wanting to access the individual controls with in the browser object then you will need direct access to the Document object of the browser control. This is easy to achieve with my GadgetX.dll Wink

Take a look at the demos I have posted at the website. You will still need to know the names (ie...ID) of the controls you want to put data into but this is just a matter of walking though the document's control collection. The demo you want to look at is the ActiveX Toys demo it specifically shows how to read and write the values of Form fields via the MS WebBrowser Control. Have fun Cool

Glad to hear Dave.

He worked so very hard on all that GadGet related stuff.

It will be nice to be able to slam dunk my username and password into the HTML edit box with my password program and erase the clipboard.

But now I'll have to figure out how to get the bucks for gadGet Rolling Eyes
