API in VBS?

Is there any way to use Win32 API Functions in VbScript?

Just curious.

No you can't as far as i am aware.

Actuall you can create the object using it's ref name...ie Scripting.FilesystemObject = some dll... same applies for most dlls

Could you give an example of doing that, with a function. Just anything as an example, like showwindow, or shellexecute.

Set Cmd = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")._
Exec("ping -a -n 1 -w 1 " & sIP)

Function NameFromTrace(sIP)
Set Cmd = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")._
Exec("tracert -h 1 -w 1 " & sIP)
NameFromTrace = Split(Cmd.StdOut.ReadAll," ")(3)
End Function
