How to fill in html textbox from windows application

Hi All,

I want help from you guys to solve the problem

1. Open a browser and navigate to a URL (manually)

I would like to do the following from a windows application:

2. I will click "Fill data" button from Windows screen,
3. We have to identify what are the browsers opened in the PC and which browser has correct URL
4. Once the correct browser is identified with the URL, we have to fill in data (received from scanner) in the html page opened in the browser.

can anybody give guidelines to achieve above functionality.

You are going to have many hurdles trying this approach. Interprocess security issues being one of the biggest. I think a custom add-in for your browser may be a much better approach.

Would a solution like adding a "scan it" option to your context menu (right mouse click) on text boxes work for you? I think it would be 5 to 10 times easier to code.

The next best choice would be to have your Windows App Scan and "cut" the text so you could just "paste it" into the text box. That is probably the "Holy Trinity" answer: "Simple, Fast and Cheap"
