Hey everyone,

I am trying to program something that works with my browser(fireFox). I was planning on doing the following. Having it open up my browser, got to a site I specify, click links that are on the site. I was wondering if I need any windows API or anything of that nature to have this work.


Hope I explained what I am looking for correctly.

Thank you,

Well you can have C# start up firefox with a URL of your choice using Process.Start or you could use a webbrowser control. But as far as clicking through links and such and having full control over firefox is really difficult given that firefox's api is not open (at least from what I know it isn't). Windows API could give you general operating system control of a program for things like opening and closing, minimizing etc but controlling it from inside the program is a bit more tedious.

In general there is no real solid solution to this.

That sounds suspiciously like a robot ad clicker... What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Perhaps we can offer a better solution. Unless you really are writing an ad clicker of course...
