Click button on form using code

How can I click this button automatically:

<a id="ctl04_hypImage" href="folder.aspx?i=9262413" title="Files: 242 Size: 1656.4 MB Creation Date: 1/26/2011">
<img style="border-width:0px;" src="http://www.winkflash.com/photo/imagew3.aspx?i=436827807&c=9262413&z=0" title="Files: 242 Size: 1656.4 MB Creation Date: 1/26/2011">
</a>

I tried:

WebBrowser2.Document.All.Item("ct104_hypImage").Click
WebBrowser2.Document.getElementById("ct104_hypImage").Click

But neither worked.

I think you're looking for .PerformClick.

Let me know how you get on.

I see that code is for .NET, would it work for VB6?

Ady Foot

Oh sorry - I thought you were using ASP.NET. I've done some scouring and I'm not too sure you can achieve this in VB6. I think that's probably why we now have PerformClick in .NET.

Hopefully someone else will come along and prove me wrong, otherwise I think you're out of luck.

Add this in the head:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function clickbutton(){
$("#ctl04_hypImage").click();
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function clickbutton(){
$("#ctl04_hypImage").click();
}
</script>

Open in new window

You can call the javascript function clickbutton() any way you want. I have used a library called jquery.

You can see example and tutorials at:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
function clickbutton(){
$("#ctl04_hypImage").click();
}
</script>

Open in new window

I must be in an alternate universe. I asked a "Visual Basic" question in the "Visual Basic Classic" section and first answer I got was VB.NET and the next was JavaScript.

Does anyone have a Visual Basic 6.0 answer, please-o-please?

I would have tried the same thing you tried.

If you don't get an answer in the next couple of days, please click the Request Attention link and ask for more expert eyes on this question.
