How to simulate mouse click with the WebBrowser control

Question

Using the WebBrowser control I am able to call an event when the mouse button is manually clicked, but I want the program to do the click itself, not do something when I manually perform the click.

For example, if I provide the ID of a control on the page I want the program to click it.

Here's what I have so far:

HtmlElement button = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("lButtonSearch"); button.Click += new HtmlElementEventHandler(GotoSearchPage);

Is this to build a web app/site test harness by any chance? :) — Russell

Quite easily, simply use:

button.InvokeMember("click");

@Nick - Sure, no problem. If you're doing any kind of (medium->high scale) Automation, I do recommend looking at WatiN (watin.sourceforge.net). Great project.

I looked at WatiN shortly after and have been using it ever since for many projects, thanks.
