"Responding" to downloaded HTML pages
« on: March 18, 2007, 09:29:01 PM »
Hello everyone,

I want to make an application that automaticly (all hidden, no IE screen) logs in on a server (I mean, just a HTML script), then navigate to a list and then count the number of items in that list. Quite difficult, it seems, but this must be possible, right?

So I use URLDownloadToFile from urlmon.dll to download the login page,
but my question is:

How can you "respond" to a downloaded page?

So I've got the raw HTML code in a file, how can I fill in forms and "click" buttons located in that script? And navigate, and so on....

(Is this even possible without showing the IE screen?)

I also have thought of running IE (Internet Explorer) hidden and then send messages to it, but I'm hoping that there is a better way.

Can someone help me with this?
