I want to input a large amount of data into a public inquiry website by VC6.0. The main work is on the home page, written with HTML, of the website. There are 2 text boxes where user names and codes inputted in and an OK button. I have many user names and codes but it's very tired input them one by one.

Now I want to write a VC program to realize automatic inputting. The problem on data inputted is that the data is made up by 10 digits including 5 constant and 5 variable. I wanna input a data with changing 5 variables at set intervals, for example 0.5 second. After inputting a data, the target website will pop up a webpage and display query results. Now I wanna manually record the results.

If you have good ideas please teach me, thank you sincerely.

This sounds like a spam bot of sorts. What do you have so far?

Unfortunately, I could be, but I hope this is something different. There are many cases when this is desirable. Sometimes you need to deal with stupid sites, for example, to follow some idiotic bureaucratic — I face with such cases once in a while.

Let's ask OP to guarantee that it won't be used for spamming or other malicious activity.

Anyway, I decided to answer, please see.

I promise I won't be used for spamming or other malicious activity, just for quiry scores. Just as what you said that the information I want,should be open to the public, is difficult to achieve now by idiotic bureaucratic. I hope you can help me

I hope you can tell me the resolvent, for example sopme articles you write on codeproject to solve my problem

Thank you for your justification.

I'm pretty much sure the references I gave you should be enough... Is it not?
As to my other posts, I do have some more on the topic, but they reference only .NET API or code.

It's not a spam, just for quirying scores. Now I just have data and development tools. Thanks for help

Ask specifically what do you want to do?

I think this is pretty much clear. Please see my comment above and my answer.

I want to insert my data into a quiry webpage written by html to achieve results automatically and fast. It's best to automatically keep results in text or excel

This is not about HTML at all. Apparently, as this is a Web site, you have to follow HTTP protocol. You need to send HTTP request in exact same way you browser does, most likely using "POST" request method. This is not a problem, because you can always see what a Web page does (what is it, an HTML form or Ajax? must be either one or another).

One of the classes you can possibly use is CInternetSession, according to this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8563975/how-to-http-post-to-a-web-form-using-c-mfc[^].

See also: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cttkhz64%28v=vs.80%29.aspx[^].

Hope it was available and worked in VC 6.0, too :-).

Alternatively, you can use the wrapper provided in this CodeProject article: A Fully Featured Windows HTTP Wrapper in C++[^].
