is there a way to stop the user from typing in a webbrowser that IS visible, and enabled and has focus? the reason i am asking is because it doesn't have an _onkeysup or anything, and i am sending keys to the webbrowser and need it to navigate but not let the user press keys and messup the strings being sent to the browser.

What would be the purpose of disallowing user input to the browser controls?

the browser is completely automated, it is for uploading files (through a filebox form) to a server. While i can do this with send keys, if the user is typing while its sending those keys, the keys they type will be placed with it...for instance if the webbrowser is sending C:\test.jpg and they are typing it could be sending c:\testheymanwhatsup?.jpg and of course that file doesn't exist

i have tried disableing the webbrowser (doesn't navigate then) as well as disabling the form the browser is in. both to no avail. thanks for any clues or help

Instead of trying to automate the browser, take a look at using the INET control. It looks like it would be right up your alley.

the problem i have run into when using the inet control is after i login to the site it does a cookie is their anyway to use that cookie and still use inet to post the data to the server and it read the cookie? (i'm trying to bind the file to my account) and when i used the inet control it didn't read any of the info in said cookie.

thanks again for the help
