ElementValueById

Interface AntViewDocument

 

Type: Property

Access: Write

Parameters: String Id String Value

 

 

Set the contents for the Value attribute of the html element identified by Id in the document currently loaded in the WebView2 component.

Note that the id is case sensitive and must match the case of the html element.

Not all of the html elements normally have a value attribute. 

The most common element with a value attribute is the input element as used in html forms.

 

    <form id="login" class="login" action="thankYou.html">

        <div class="loginName">

            <label for="username">UserName</label>

            <input type="text" id="username" placeholder="User Name" required />

        </div>

 

        <div class="loginPassword">

            <label for="password">Password</label>

            <input type="password" id="password" placeholder="Password" required />

        </div>

 

        <div class="loginBtn">

            <button id="submit" type="submit" name="submit">Login</button>

        </div>

    </form>

 

Setting this property triggers the OnSetElementValueById event on completion as it is an asynchronous operation.

 

Example in DataFlex:

 

   Object oFillFieldsButton is a Button

     Set Location to 199 40

     Set Label to "Fill Fields"

     Set peAnchors to anBottomLeft

   

     Procedure OnClick

       Send ConnectBrowser to oDocument

       Set ComElementValueById of oDocument "username" to "Mr.Smith"

       Set ComElementValueById of oDocument "password" to "supersecret"

     End_Procedure

   End_Object

 

Example in VB6:

  Document.ElementValueById("username") = "Mr. Smith"

  Document.ElementValueById("password") = "supersecret"

  Document.ElementValueById("your-none-existing-input") = "smith@example.com"

 

There's also a synchronous alternative SetElementValueByIdSync that wraps the the property and event into one call.
