Simulate clicks in webrowser - c#

how would I go about clicking a button ina web page loaded in the webbrowser component? I want to click a button and display the resulting page in the webbrowser. I have googled and can not find the answer; can anyone help?

If the element has an ID, you can use this;
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("id").InvokeMember("click");
Although one direction I used recently is to find out the url that the button click takes you too, and navigate to that. This may not work for all sites..

Gecko Browser Click Like Button on Facebook

I am trying to click facebook page like button, but i can't make gecko find the id of attribute.
*Geckofx is working properly.
Here is my Form1.Load:
geckoWebBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.facebook.com/AmaciOlmayanGrup/?fref=ts");
And here is documentCompleted Method:
GeckoButtonElement button = new GeckoButtonElement(geckoWebBrowser1.Document.GetHtmlElementById("u_jsonp_7_d").DomObject);
button.Click();
What should i do?
Ive found Click() doesnt always work on some websites. Not sure why. Another way is to get focus on the element then use sendkeys function with ENTER.

Asp.net c# Button click call a procedure and Also opens in a target_blank

I am trying to make a button that when clicked call a procedure but also opens in a pop-up. I can't find how to do it because all the search i did only tells me to put it on te clientclick :
<asp:Button ID="cmbGen" runat="server" Width="240px" Text="Générer le rapport" OnClick="cmbGen_Click"></asp:Button>
the onclick opens up a pdf, and its not working well on Ie, so, to solve this i would like the pdf to opens in a pop up
not sure what i could do.. anyone got an idea ?
EDIT
The code is pretty big, but basicaly, depending on what checkboxed were checked, it will create a pdf file and show it. this works pretty well, but it opens up in the current page, i would like to make it in a pop-up
A Button always submits a postback to the server on the current window, so you can't directly tie a new window to it. You'll need to write some javascript to do that, and open a popup window.
You can do this lots of ways - you can hook up an event handler to the button so when it's clicked, it immediately opens a new window, and that window is pointed to your server code which returns the PDF. Or you can do a regular postback, and return some javascript that pops up a new window. But either way, javascript is the only way to get a popup from a form button.
Liam's suggestion of making a link instead of a button is probably the simplest method - you can throw an image on that link to make it look like a button if you want.
EDIT
Based on your comment on the other answer, your simplest bet would be to return some javascript on the button click method, using ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript or whatever Microsoft is recommending these days. You can do whatever logic you need to first, then get that into a new handler either through session or querystring parameters, and have the client pop up a new window pointing to that handler.
Can't see you c# so it's not 100% sure what you want but why use a asp:Button at all:
Générer le rapport

C# Webbrowser Click on Javascript Button

Have you tried to invoke click onto the button?
I believe you need to assign a id to the button, then invoke it by doing
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("hmenu.ID").InvokeMember("click");
Hope that works

return PartialView to a popup windows at another view

I have an Index.aspx with a button inside which that button will call a controller, doing some logic and returning to a PartialView control - let's named it PopUpPartialView.ascx (as a popup). So to make it clear, the popup windows(PopUpPartialView) actually stays ON the top of Index.aspx when user clicks on the button.
In PopUpPartialView.ascx, there is another button, that returns say a GenerateList and now the problem is - how do I pass the thing back to the same popup windows in PopUpPartialView.ascx on the top of Index.aspx as it was before? How should my controller codes look like?
Here's what I have on the return:
return PartialView("PopUpPartialView", GenerateList);
this clearly NOT working as what I want, because it doesn't point back to Index page. I was thinking perhaps to use ajax so that I could stay on that popup ascx page. Confused~~ Someone please guide me.
Thanks.
My advice is to use a plugin which handles all the popup plumbing for you.
My poison of choice is jqModal.
It's very easy to work with - essentially a hidden container on the page, and you can load contents in there either on the initial render, or on a click event via AJAX.
So in your example, you could handle the button event click, show the dialog and load the contents of your partial view into the hidden container.

c# Web Browser simulate button press

I'm using the WebBrowser control and want to bypass a button press on a web page. I'm not very familiar with HTML and web pages, but I'm wondering if anyone has a solution.
The button I'm talking about is on this web page:
http://www.movshare.net/video/ut55cfdvg5wgj/?
The button is appearing at random so it might not be there always.
Edit: Thinking about this, you can do most of this from the C#. Updated.
Get a reference to the button and invoke it's click() JavaScript method:
HtmlElement btn = myBrowserControl.Document.GetElementById("myButton");
/*
Alternatively, take a look at these other methods for retrieving an HtmlElement:
HtmlDocument.GetElementFromPoint(Point point)
HtmlDocument.GetElementsByTagName(string tagName)
HtmlDocument.All.GetElementsByName(string name)
*/
btn.InvokeMember("click");
This will only work in all browsers if ...
Since this is a WebBrowser control, you don't need to worry about cross browser issues.
Do you want the user to skip the button press everytime. Then this means, you don't need the button at all on the page. Please put more information
