Hey, I come in search of answers for two burning questions on my tongue at the moment.
The first, is , Can I change the classname of my projects forms ?
Like, I would love to have my own classname, and not always be stuck with thunderforms etc.
The second question, is, is it possible to have Declarations in VBScript addins in my program ?
I hope someone can answer my two questions !
Thanks
The former question I cannot answer. I ain't good enough.
The latter, however, I don't understand. Can you elaborate on that?
Ok, im using some VB Script in a VB app
See, its an ocx that MS supply with Windows
Its called msscript.ocx
IT allows the execution of VB code from a string, like for example, a textbox or text file.
Now, I want to know, is it possible for me to use Declarations and Constants in this method of running code or as i call it, my add-ins for my project :)
Maybe I am missing the point completely, but to me it seems like you are asking "can I declare variables or constants in VB script?" -- is that what you are asking?
I really hope someone will help out, as I feel kinda geeky here. I just don't understand what is the problem?
Suggestion: post some short code example (working or otherwise) to illustrate what you are trying to achieve with your VBScript "plugin".
See the last post
That ocx has a function
.Execute "Code here"
So lets say
Control.Execute txtCode.text
and txtCode.text = "msgbox ""hey"""
That will make a msgbox sayin hey obvious
Now, this also works
txtcode.text would be
Dim LoL
LoL = InputBox("Sup","Sup")
Msgbox LoL
But, if i try and add a type to the declare it says expected end of statement, also, if i add a declare like
Declare Function FindWindow........
FindWindw(198902)
It also says expected end of statement
OK, slowly getting the picture. You want implement "macros" using VBScript -- not unlike MS Word, which lets the user write macros in VBA.
OK, the reason that VBScript gives you an error on the Dim something As Something is probably that VBScript uses the Variant data type ONLY. You simply cannot dim somethin as integer. (I may be wrong, but even if I am, whatever variable dimmed as Integer will STILL be a Variant with subtype integer -- in other words; a Variant). Such is the nature of VBScript. Huge Fat time-consuming 16-byte Variant data types is the only available data type. Still, that's kinda cool for ASP and stuff like that.
I think you might want to check out the WSH (Windows Scripting Host) OCX. Allegedly, there should be a Wsh.ocx or something like that included with newer versions of MSIE (version 5.0 and newer). I any case, I have not been very successfull with any of this, but you may have more luck than me.
If I understand the Microsoft Developer's Network http://msdn.microsoft.com documentation right, there should be a way to "script"/control your app from .VBS files.
I hope any of this makes sense. I'll get back to you if I find out more.
