How to perform form submit?

In javascript we can do a form submit using

document.getElementById('edit').form.submit();

I want to know how we can do this using IHTMLElement in C++?

I tried getting the form element from the page and used IHTMLElement->click() api.

But no action is performed.

How can I get a "FORM" element from the page and do the submit?

Once you have retrieved an IHTMLElement from the document use QueryInterface to get a pointer to the IHTMLFormElement interface. One you've done that call submit().

IHTMLFormElement *form;
hr = element->QueryInterface(
    IID_IHTMLFormElement,
    reinterpret_cast<void**>(&form));
if(!FAILED(hr))
{
    form->submit();
    form->Release();
}

Keep in mind that this will not fire the forms onsubmit event. You will need to do that yourself by calling HTMLFormElementEvents::onsubmit which can be done in much the same way as the submit example above.
