VB find html location move mouse and click

[Opopanax]

It's been years since I had a reason to write some VB and I think I'm at that point. All my VB experience didn't include anything with browsers so what I want to do is a bit out of my experience scope.

This is what I'm looking to do. I'm using a browser (chrome) as an active window. There's various HTML elements where I may know the ID or the Class and I want to replicate having the mouse move to that location and do a left-click. I'm okay with the mouse actually moving or spoofing a mouse click. The goal is to help me automate a series of clicks where the actual X/Y coordinates can change based on the application window size and resolution.

I'm guessing based on what I've seen if my element ID on the active window page is 66:227;a I'll do something like:

WebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("66:227;a").InvokeMember("click")

What I'm trying to figure out is how do I include the WebBrowser class (assuming it's possible) or if I"m simply going down the wrong way and there's a better way to do this. Any thoughts, suggestions, and direction is appreciated.

You mention Chrome, but the WebBrowser class uses its own internal browser, it doesn't interface with an external browser.


This would probably be a question best asked somewhere that deals with VB.NET programming specifically.
