1. Can it be done?

Hello,

I know how to open a web page with the cursor blinking in the username EditText box.

Now, how can I type in my username with out touching the keyboard?

Thanks,

Don Cole

Don:

Use this and the keyboard will insert characters where ever the focus is.

system("osk.exe ",2) -- On Screen Keyboard

You could construct a wire frame above the keyboard and drop marbles through the appropriate holes.

Or you could get somebody else to touch the keyboard.

Or you could install voice recognition software and a microphone.

Or you could post keystrokes in the way osk.exe does, or this could be something to do with cookies or url modifiers.

Shame on you Pete Lomax. Most unlike you. Out of character for you . Certainly not funny. I am sure Don is earnest in his appeal for help. Just my 2 cents worth. C ya .

Aside from Peter's very funny reply, I'm not quite sure what you are asking for.

I assume you mean something like "how can my application insert text into a specific input field on a web page?"

I don't know the answer by the way, just trying to clarify your goal.

Oh yes it was! I'm pretty sure the osk.exe suggestion was a wind-up.

You know I'll try if the question is adequately restated.

Hi Don,

If you're embedding the browser (eucom?), you can access the Document property and you should be able to modify values there.

Other more generic solution (but has some cons) is to create a macro program (i've done this in the past and you can use SendKeys library in the archives) which basically sends keys as if you were typing them to the current focused window+control.

I've done some work too on programs that sent directly keys to a specific window without it having to be focused but lately those programs had some troubles because of security measures/api changes.

Cheers, Guillermo

Same here. On 2008R2 I have to run such things in admin mode, which imo is not an enhancement to security!

Http proxy the page between the server and the browser.

The browser asks the proxy for the html webpage, the proxy fetches it and munges it to look like what you want, then sends it to the browser for display.
