Program Automation


Hey all. I need a script, preferrably a program written in VB. Basically all it has to do is load a website, automatically click a radio button, wait til it reloads and loops. I'm sure it's like one line thing, but I haven't done any programming in a few years, so I'm not to keen with it, but if someone could write a vb form project (not vbscript) that would do that, I would appreciate it, then I could modify it later.

Thanks everyone for reading this!

Jesse

I know this thread is old as the hills, but I'm looking for something like this too. I've tried using some Windows programs through Wine, but when "recording" the mouse movement, they don't record anything outside of the program box (i.e. I can't mouse over to the button in Firefox that needs to be clicked).
Basically what I'm looking for is something that will click a link in Firefox every 15 minutes.
Thanks in advance for any info you can offer!

IMO you won't find a program like that or some one to code it for one simple reason:

It reeks of aduse.

Many sites use pay-per-click ads, and many others use a ranking system (ie so visitors can rate the site).


Auto-Clicking scripts can get people into big trouble (sometimes legal trouble) for abusing such features.

Then you have how the link would be clicked: if the page would be downloaded then clicked through, you've got an invite for a Denial-Of-Service attack program.
