First, please don't cross post your questions to multiple mailing lists
until you fail to get an answer on one. 

TO launch a new browser window is easy, just launch iexplorer.exe (or your
favorite browser) with the desitanation as a commandline parameter.  But
setting a value and clicking it could be much harder.  What are you trying
to accomplish?

Hi,

 

How can I automate a task like open a new browser add a text to a textBox
and click a button from a webForm?

 

From winForm it dose like this:

 

            HTMLDocument myDoc = new HTMLDocumentClass();

            myDoc = (HTMLDocument) axWebBrowser1.Document;

 

            HTMLInputElement otxtSearchBox = (HTMLInputElement)
myDoc.all.item("q", 0);

            otxtSearchBox.value = "intel corp";

 

            HTMLInputElement btnSearch = (HTMLInputElement)
myDoc.all.item("btnI", 0);

            btnSearch.click();

 

Thanks,

Lior.
