I am working on a Windows application developed in C#. The Windows application is required to capture the user inputs from Internet Explorer. For example, when user clicks on “Submit” button in the browser, the Windows application should be able to capture that event and also capture the text box values from the relevant web form. A similar situation is that the Windows application should also have a capability to populate the text boxes of a web form rendered by Internet Explorer.
To summarize, I need to implement an interface between my Windows application and the Internet Explorer so that the windows application is able to read from Internet Explorer and also populate the values in Internet Explorer. This involves the following:
Trapping the “Submit” (button click) event from Internet Explorer and Capturing text boxes in the Internet Explorer.
Trapping the page load event from Internet Explorer and populating the textbox in the Internet explorer.
I have searched for the related topics on web and also MSDN, I found that BHO (Browser Helper Object) is one of the option. I have tried to implement the BHO interface based on few samples that I found on some of the sites. However, it is not working yet.
Therefore I thought I would grab this opportunity to take help from the expertise involved with this Forum. Any inputs / ideas will be very helpful for me to progress in right direction.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you and regards,
