C# How-to send ENTER from program?

Question

i am beginer and i write this code and can't send ENTER click from webbrowser component on C#:

private void start_submit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { XmlDocument xdoc = new XmlDocument(); xdoc.Load("settings.xml"); foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode node in xdoc.SelectNodes("//site")) { foreach (System.Xml.XmlNode child in node) { if (child.Attributes["todo"].Value.ToString() == "navigate") { navigate(url_string); } else if (child.Attributes["todo"].Value.ToString() == "checkbox") { HtmlElementCollection es = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input"); HtmlElement ele0 = es[1]; ele0.SetAttribute("checked", "true"); } else if (child.Attributes["todo"].Value.ToString() == "pressbutton") { HtmlElementCollection es = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input"); if (es != null && es.Count != 0) { HtmlElement ele = es[5]; ele.ScrollIntoView(true); ele.Focus(); SendKeys.Send("{ENTER}"); } } else if (child.Attributes["todo"].Value.ToString() == "wait") { MessageBox.Show("waiting..."); } } } }

and settings.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <data> <site num="1" name="http://www.clantemplates.com" pr="5"> <step num="1" todo="navigate" value_todo="http://www.clantemplates.com/forums/register.php" value_2_todo="none">navigating</step> <step num="2" todo="checkbox" value_todo="true" value_2_todo="8">checking checkbox</step> <step num="3" todo="pressbutton" value_todo="enter" value_2_todo="9">pressing button</step> <step num="4" todo="wait" value_todo="" value_2_todo="">waiting for other click</step> </site> </data>

without this piece ENTER sends succesfully

else if (child.Attributes["todo"].Value.ToString() == "wait") { MessageBox.Show("waiting..."); }

with piece - no

how to solve?

Thanks!

Try doing webBrowser1.Select() before doing SendKeys.Send(). — Bala R

Solved, i do that with:

HtmlElementCollection es = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementsByTagName("input"); HtmlElement ele = es[5]; ele.InvokeMember("Click");
