Question

i want to know how i can open a browser to a specific web page and then fill out some of the content of the boxes on that page.

My idea is for someone to be able to order a particular item from our internal ordering system. The barcodes for these items are what will populate the fields on the page i want to open.

I no i can open a new instance of ie using Process.Start("IEXPLORE.EXE", url); howver how do i get a handle on that exact ie instance window so i can begin to add the required data to the fields?

Is this even possible?

Thanks very much

WatiN should help with this. I’ve generally used it for acceptance testing of web apps, but the principle is the same. Open a browser instance, reference stuff in the DOM, manipulate form elements, etc.
