‘* DESCRIPTION:     The following visual basic code was written when
‘*                  I wanted to consolidate the data from 26 workbooks
‘*                  and in each workbook, there were are 77 sheets. It
‘*                  would have been a very difficult task, if I had to
‘*                  do it manually. I believe this procedure will be
‘*                  useful to somebody else
‘* NOTES:
‘*  Before using the codes, you can change all the variables like,
‘*  Folder, File , SearchString, SearchSubfolders (true / false),
‘*  and other variables.

The following code can be used to clear all textboxes and comboboxes on userform.

HOW SHOULD I USE THE FOLLOWING CODE

Private Sub Clear_all()
    For I = 0 To UserForm1.Controls.Count - 1

        If UCase(TypeName(UserForm1.Controls(I))) = "TEXTBOX" Then
            UserForm1.Controls(I).Value = ""
        End If
        If UCase(TypeName(UserForm1.Controls(I))) = "COMBOBOX" Then
            UserForm1.Controls(I).Value = ""
        End If
    Next I
End Sub

Automate File Download from Internet

September 1, 2008 at 19:24 · Filed under Automation, VBA Examples

The following code illustrates how one can use visual basic for automated file download when the code actually initializes the internetexplorer and navigates the path, and it saves at the location suggested by the user the file that is to be downloaded… Please be advised this code is not well tested and might not be perfect in all scenario.

HOW SHOULD I USE THE FOLLOWING CODE

 

Option Explicit
Dim OBJIE As InternetExplorer
Dim myurl As String
Dim myExcelFile  As String
'____________________________________________________________
Sub DownLoad_File()
'   --------- Initialize strings like name of the file & -
'   url to navigate --------------------------------------
    
    myExcelFile = FileNameWithPath
    myurl = "http://www.sockofiles.350.com/" & _
            "Form=_With=_no=_title=_bar.xls"
'   ---------- Open internetexplorer and navigate --------
    Set OBJIE = New InternetExplorer
    With OBJIE
        .Navigate myurl
        .AddressBar = 0
        .FullScreen = False
        .Height = 300
        .Width = 400
        .Top = 0
        .Left = 0
        .Toolbar = 0
        .MenuBar = 0
        .Resizable = 0
        .StatusBar = 0
        .Visible = True
    End With
'   --------Wait till IE is free -------------------------
    Do Until OBJIE.ReadyState
        DoEvents
    Loop
'   --------Pass on keys to download and save ------------
    Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:0:03")
    SendKeys ("%s")
    Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:0:03")
    
    SendKeys (myExcelFile)
    Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:0:03")
    SendKeys ("%s")
    Application.Wait Now() + TimeValue("00:0:03")
    OBJIE.Quit
    MsgBox "DONE"
End Sub
'____________________________________________________________
Function FileNameWithPath() As String
    FileNameWithPath = _
        InputBox("Give the complete name of the " & _
        "file that you want to save including path")
End Function

Copy the following script and paste it in a notepad, make changes to uname and upass variable as your userid and your password… Now, save the notepad as Login_Wordpress.vbs and then when you double click on the document saved in a folder, you will see your login is done by vbscript automatically.

Dim navURL, uName, uPass 
Dim ie 

'Change following couple of lines with you ID & Password
    uName = "MyUserName"
    uPass = "myPassWord"

'This sets the url of the page, in this case
'rediff login page
    navURL = "https://socko.wordpress.com/wp-login.php"

'Create internetexplorer and provide url
    Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
    ie.navigate navURL

'set visibility as true
    ie.Visible = True

'wait until IE is done loading page.
    While ie.Busy
      'DoEvents:
    Wend

'Enter userid and password in respective textboxes
    ie.document.all("log").Value = uName
    ie.document.all("pwd").Value = uPass
   
'click go button
    ie.document.all("wp-submit").Click    'Clicks the GO button on the page

'wait until IE is done loading page.
    While ie.Busy
      'DoEvents  'wait until IE is done loading page.
    Wend

    msgbox ("Done")
