Can't find it!

I am looking for a thread that I saw a while back that allowed you to type a VBScript statement into a textbox, then press a button, and it would execute the code, but I can't find it anywhere. I can't remember any keywords or the title of the thread... I'm really stumped. :confused: Does anyone else remember reading this, and did you save the thread URL or contents?

Thanks

use the windows scripting activeX control, here's a link from cnet

But I remember using just an API to do it. I don't really want to add another control to the project. I'm searching through the API viewer, to see if I recognize anything.

oh, that's a little more complicated, do you want vbscript? you could write your own or i'll let you use mine that i've got in my signature

Not sure if this is what your refering to or not

VB Code:

Private Declare Function EbExecuteLine Lib "vba6.dll" (ByVal pStringToExec As Long, ByVal Unknownn1 As Long, ByVal Unknownn2 As Long, ByVal fCheckOnly As Long) As Long

Only thing is it doesn't work in a compiled exe

I think I may be thinking of the wrong thing but here you go anyway

Thanks GingerFreak... That was the API. :) I found this, now that I used EbExecuteLine as a keyword
