How hard would a program like this be [If possible]

[Flameset]

Basically I want it to incorporate an auto survey filling program that automatically fills its info on its own from a website when its opened.

Example:
I open the program it automatically fills in the info from a website to the survey filling program. And also has a web browser.

from my guess PRetty F#$king HARD

If the survey is exactly the same everytime, very simple.

Most surveys are different, and requires image verification to prevent bots like these.

You'd need one hell of a good OCR.

Hmm i think that this will take a lot of time to make ASWELL as being very hard,I don't think your the first to try and do this many have tryed but failed and gave it up as a bad job

Well I don't want it to fill them out. I just want it to fill the info to the survey program and then you use that one manually.

The program is roboform.

You can download Roboform. You fill out the info 1 time and then you just click a button on your internet browser and it automatically fills in everything. You can download it from download.com. Just search roboform.

If they were very basic surveys with no image verification or are you a robot stuff, i would probally suggest using a bunch of sendkey commands.

such as if it was a first name, last name, eye colour or something, just a example you could set the program of, click to the page and have code somewhat like this

Sendkeys "Yourfirstname"
Sendkeys "{TAB}"
Sendkeys "Yourlastname"
Sendkeys "{TAB}"
Sendkeys "Youreyecolour"

not sure if thats right as i haven't used sendkeys in a while, but its just an idea.

There's an addon for firefox for this use. It's called RoboForm i think. Maybe look at the source, see how it does it, and see if it's possible in Vb.

I know theres roboform but I want to make a client that incorporates roboform and auto fills its self with the info. Then people just use it like normal.

So when people open it it goes to my referral on prizerebel xD Then they don't have to download and set it up themselves.

Schools about to start and I am probably gonna get in a programming class =D

Well, you can't get people to install roboform then automatically fill out the form for you... I don't think anyone would even trust someone who asked them to click a referral link then install some firefox add-on...

You can (assuming you can program) write an app that will just submit the forms every time you run it, and distribute that file on its own, but I doubt people would run some random executable anyways...

Basically, only you can fill out your forms automatically, I don't think anyone else would be willing.

Sendkeys "Yourfirstname"
Sendkeys "{TAB}"
Sendkeys "Yourlastname"
Sendkeys "{TAB}"
Sendkeys "Youreyecolour"

Although in theory that works, it's a horrible way of accomplishing what he wants.

Your best bet in VB6 is having a webbrowser control load the survey page and then modify the objects on that website using code and proceed to click the submit button with more code at the end. This would only work assuming there is no CAPTCHA or other form of user verification involved.

I think this should get you started towards form filling with VB6.

Couldn't you just edit the HTML elements?

That was indeed my post...

Noo your missing the point.

I don't want them to fill out my forms. Or the program to do automatically.

Basically I want to make a web browser that already has roboform in it. With the info that roboform needs already there (if you used it before youd understand what I am saying xD)

Its also not a bad way to get referrals. Ive seen a program similar except it is disguised as a fake cheat engine thats suppose to hack points for you.

Basically he tells people to download it(its clean file) When you open it, prizerebel is there in the browser except its his referral link but you can't see the website so people don't know. Then it tells you to sign up using it and you can cheat points. It doesn't do it but he gets some nice referrals points from it.
