How to launch IE from C++ code and be able to get html data after web page is changed

Here is my problem:

I am about to implement a method (C++),with an URL argument as parameter, what this method do is to launch the default browser of windows,and visit the url; this URL leads to an page, user of this program have to fill in some info in this page,and submit, then it jump to result page, and my method need to read and analyze this page data.

I know how to launch an browser like IE , but how to:

  1. read page data to my program?

  2. how my program know the page in browser is updated?

Maybe I should just write a web browser inside my program?

Looks like you want to do the IE browser automation. In which you want to launch the IE and try to fetch data from the web page.

With only C++ you can open the IE browser using shell and open the URL but you will not be able to fetch the data to your application.

I suggest you to check the documentation for Selenium Web driver.

I check and find that currently no any framework available for C++.

If you are available to use C# or JavaScript than it can help to solve your issue.

Reference:

If you are available to use VBA than you can also refer link below for IE automation using VBA.
