I havent coded vb.net in a long time, I have a quick question, I'm trying to send text from my clipboard straight to a textbox on a webpage that's already clicked on, basically I just need it to output the text and nothing else... could someone help me out on this please lol. Thanks

Is it an external web browser e.g. chrome and not the visual studio IE ?

If it's not try

Code

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(TextboxID).SetAttribute("value", My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText)

You could also use SendKeys like this

PHP Code


<?php 
SendKeys.Send(My.Computer.Clipboard.GetText) 


( The textbox has to have focus though )

Why do you keep offering the SendKeys function to people? It is one of the worst alternatives to use.

Well it seemed appropriate for what he wanted to do, besides i dont really see whats so bad about it, He could use SendMessage/Postmessage etc but it's easier this way

The application must have focus all the time. Sendkeys literally emulates keystrokes on your keyboard. You would have to have the application focussed at all times and have the textbox in the browser focussed all the time. You cant use your PC while the app is running basically.

But he did state It's already focused so it's not a problem

It can still be focussed in the webbrowser object while the application is minimized or not focussed. Just click on a textbox here on HF and then minimize your browser.

I'm pretty sure he's not going to be minimizing his browser while doing this lol
