Send a Text Message from LabVIEW using ActiveX and Internet Explorer

VERSION 1

Created on: Apr 21, 2009 1:58 PM by JeffL - Last Modified:  Apr 21, 2009 3:45 PM by JeffL

Functional Description

This VI uses ActiveX and Internet Explorer to fill out a HTML form and submit it (twice!). The form it uses is Verizon's text messaging website. It requires the user to log in with their Verizon account first before sending the message (otherwise it has a captcha). Note that the first time it uses the form, it uses the 'submit' feature. The second time it selects the correct button and uses the 'click' action.
