title: Possible to use Powershell to select options from a gui?
body: <p>I have to convert a manual build process to an automated build process. I am going through the process and have identified a couple areas that I am sure how to approach.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to powershell so I can't really say off the bat if something can be done or not.</p>
  
  <p>I have this vb6 form that pops up. It has a couple tabs and some dropdown lists, text fields and buttons.</p>
  
  <p>A user would manually choose a choice from the dropdown list and fill in certain text fields and then hit a button to save.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to still have this application run with the dialog appearing and then somehow have powershell fill out the required fields and then do a save?</p>
  
  <p>I am sort of thinking maybe something like how in jquery for instance you could select fields by ids and then fill values into them.</p>
  
  <p>If this is not possible would the application need to be modified to accept arguments in and then it would use it populate the values?</p>
  
  <p>Or do I have to extract the code out that does it and somehow convert it(something I do not really want to do as I really don't understand fully how the application works) to powershell? </p>
