opening a site

hey

i want to make a program for a browser based game.
so i wanted the program to open a site and fill in a text box. (as a start)
I googled how to do that. but all options i tried gave errors i don't understand.
so my questions are:

how do you open a site in C++?

how do you fill in a text box with C++?

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <shellapi.h>

int main()
{
    ShellExecute(NULL,"open","www.google.com",NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}

ShellExecute Function()

Make sure to include windows.h with shellapi.h or shellapi.h will give you errors.

You should use visual basic to do such kind of thing its really hard to do it in C++

Not shure:
C++ CANT output key's to other programs unless you make something like a virtual keyboard driver

You should look for autoclicker sources and autochat/spam sources they can be found all around the forum if you use the search button

Opening a site ain't the problem. if he wants to output strings to a text box in a browser that is a problem becouse i dont think that is possible in c++ (or just very very hard)

Btw i just remeberd there are some Firefox plugins who can do this for you dont need C++ for it

lalakijilp can you explain in more detail what exactly you want. 'Cause trying to work with what i've understood from your original post is pretty hard.

ok.

i got bored with my tutorial (and school) so want to try something different
Bolknots My Brute
this is a game and when you get referrals you get points. so i want to make a program that makes referrals and trains them.

1. the site must be opened

2. TYPE HERE should be changed to something else.

3.validate must be pushed. and alot of other buttons...

If greasemonkey doesnt gives wat you want look for a scriptable autoclicker

Very hard in C++? :O Couldn't be any easier imo

Code:

HWND hWnd = FindWindow(NULL, "Title");
hWnd = FindWindowEx(hWnd, NULL, NULL, "messagebox title, use reshacker to find out");
PostMessage(hWnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, MAKELPARAM("Text", "Text"));

Typed from the top of my head so could be a bit off

Would that actualy work if it's a browser based game? I don't think textbox's have their own window handles on browser games.

They don't. If it is a flash game, then there will only be the HTML and then Embedded flash.

Starting a website is as simple as:

Code:

system("start http://www.google.com");

I don't have anything for filling in the text boxes though.

not if its a browser based game, but you can always look into saving the swf or make an app that loads it from the site directly

edit: if its flash ofcourse :P
