c# - How to click a link element programmatially with HTMLElement?

Question

I'm doing an automation program. I load a webpage into my windows form and load it in WebBrowser control. Then, I need to click on a link from the WebBrowser programatically. How can I do this? for example:

1. <a href="http://www.google.com">Google Me</a>

2. <a href="http://www.facebook.com" id="fbLink">Facebook Me</a>

The above are 2 different conditions. The first element does not have an id attribute while the second one does. Any idea on how to click each programmatically?

Answer 1

You have to find your element first, by its ID or other filters:

HtmlElement fbLink = webBrowser.Document.GetElementByID("fbLink");

And to simulate "click":

fbLink.InvokeMember("click");

An example for finding your link by inner text:

HtmlElement FindLink(string innerText)
{
    foreach (HtmlElement link in webBrowser.Document.GetElementsByTagName("a"))
    {
        if (link.InnerText.Equals("Google Me"))
        {
            return link;
        }
    }
}
