Running a Visual Basic Script...

Hi,
Is there a way to run a visual basic script from a director project?
Thanks

You can use Buddy API to run a vbs script file.
ie.
baOpenFile( _movie.path & "My Script.vbs", "Normal" )
You could also try the inbuilt open command but I haven't tested it.

  • Need help creating full battery alert using visual basic script

    Hi,
    I have been searching for resources, programs and code that will create an alert for me to unplug my charger when my laptop
    battery is charged to full (or almost full).
    The only problem with this code is that
    Line 13: iRemaining (or RemainingCapacity called from BatteryStatus returns a 0 (might be a floating point which I can't figure out why). I even checked the microsoft documentation and its supposed to be a percentage.
    I want to get either the current percentage of the battery or the total Fullchargedcapacity and the EstimatedRemainingCapacity to find the % of battery level.
    Essentially what I am asking is how can I return the battery % using visual basic script.
    Help!
    The Code:
    1 set oLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
    2 set oServices = oLocator.ConnectServer(".","root\wmi")
    3 set oResults = oServices.ExecQuery("select * from batteryfullchargedcapacity")
    4 for each oResult in oResults iFull = oResult.FullChargedCapacity
    5 next
    6
    7 while (1)
    8 set oResults = oServices.ExecQuery("select * from batterystatus")
    9 for each oResult in oResults
    10 iRemaining = oResult.RemainingCapacity
    12 bCharging = oResult.Charging
    12 next
    13 iPercent = ((iRemaining / iFull) * 100) mod 100
    14 if bCharging and (iPercent > 95) Then msgbox "Battery is at " & iPercent "%",vbInformation,"Battery monitor"
    15 wscript.sleep 30000 ' (30 seconds)
    16 wend

    14 if bCharging and (iPercent > 95) Then msgbox "Battery is at " & iPercent "%",vbInformation,"Battery monitor"
    On my Windows 7 machine your script returns the desired percentage (after adding the missing "&" to the right of "iPercent" in Line 14).

  • Unable to load gpib-32.dll when running the visual basic 2008 program

    I installed NI-488.2 into my PC, window 7 64 bit OS.
    In the program >> project> add reference>.NET, I successfully add the NI.4882  into my visual basic  program.
    By the way, this program worked well in another window 7 32 bit PC.
    But when I run the program at ildev(BDINDEX,.........), error comes up as "unable load DLL gpib-32.dll".
    So when I looked at c:\windows\system32, I can not fine gpib-32.dll.
    Doesn't  NI-488.2 driver install gpib-32.dll?
    How can I install gpib-32.dll?

    Nyc, thank you for your reply.
    By the way, I think I did all the link explained.
    So I have no problem in  adding  NI488.2 to my program's reference using "add reference".
    The problem is GPIB statement like ildev() looks for "gpib-32.dll".
    But there was no gpib-32.dll installed in "c:\windows\system32" so error comes up with "unable to load gpib-32.dll".
    I did the same procedure in my another PC(window 7 32 bit OS,my current PC is window 7 64 bit OS), and in that PC I can see the gpib-32.dll in that directory and program run without problem.
    I do not know how gpib-32.dll was installed in my previous PC.
    Thanks
    Seong
    Have you looked at the example programs for .NET that install with NI-488.2?
    You need to start thinking in terms of .NET 

  • How Can I run a .vbs (Visual Basic Script) file on Linux?

    Hello, I have a doubt:
    How Can I execute on Linux a .vbs file? I can't use wine cause it is not a .exe file.
    Is there any way?
    Greetings

    Google works, yes ... if you know what you are searching for. Try this search: VisualBasic is not VBScript.
    Here is what you will need (consult an attorney first):
    - Wine
    - Windows Scripting Host (WSH) 5.6* (available officially from MS website, but requires validation):
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta … laylang=en
    * There is an update to 5.7 also available form MS
    - You will also need (from your Windows installation):
    mfc42.dll
    - Once you have the files placed in your Wine '/system32' folder (via installer or extraction), you will need to register dll files. At minimum, I think you can get by with:
    wine regsvr32 /path/to/vbscript.dll
    wine regsvr32 /path/to/wshext.dll
    Others may be required ... if you get more messages alerting you to register files, just repeat for each one necessary. Or register them all and be done with it.
    Once you have WSH setup, you can launch the VBScript file by opening 'winefile' and double clicking on the script. From the command line, you will need to launch it with 'wscript':
    wine wscript "Z:\\home\\user\\.wine\\dosdevices\\c:\\Program Files\\test.vbs"
    If you attempt to launch the VBScript with just:
    wine "Z:\\home\\user\\.wine\\dosdevices\\c:\\Program Files\\test.vbs"
    you will get a message about 'BAD EXE Format' or similar.

  • Error while Using the Visual Basic Script Job Definition Type for Non-SAP

    Hi,
    when using VBScript Job Definition Type I got the following Error:
    Input Error: There is no file extension in "C:\Program".
    When I run the Script locally on the Server it runs fine.
    Using CMD Job definition on the same platform agent runs also fine.
    Is there maybe a wrong setting or are there any parameters to configure to run VBScript Job definition ?
    Best Regards Torsten Rehage

    Hi,
    yes it is a bug. I had contact with my redwood consultant.
    He sends the error to the developer. I set the datarootdirectory to a path without blanks and it works.
    Thanks

  • Visual Basic Script in CVI 9.0

    Hi
    I'm trying to control a Lecroy oscilloscope with GPIB commands in CVI, and also I have
    Automation Manual describing the controlling commands written as VBScript.
    I want to use some of these commands, but I cannot call them in CVI.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    You will need the Remote Control Manual for your scope as well.
    Here is a link to our Remote Control Manual:
    http://www.lecroy.com/files/manuals/WM-RCM-E_Rev_D.pdf
    Here is one to our Automation Manual:
    http://www.lecroy.com/files/manuals/Entire_X-Stream_Automation_Manual.pdf
    And finally, here is one for the Automation Command Reference Manual:
    http://www.lecroy.com/files/manuals/Automation_Command_Ref_Manual_WR.pdf
    The Remote Control Manual will have the IEEE 488 (GPIB) commands.
    The Automation Manual will introduce you to the XStream Browser (an application on the scope) and the Automation Commands. (The automation commands can be used when there is no equivalent remote command).
    The Reference Manual will cover all of the Automation Commands.
    When you send an automation command in the 488 format, it has to be sent with the VBS command (covered in the remote control manual on page 71 and in more detail on page 248).
    It is also covered in the Automation Manual on page 1-28 (This actually shows the syntax to use)

  • How to install visual basic 6.0 in windows 8

    Hi microsoft team,
     I recently download the visual basic 6.0 in my windows 8 laptop. But it is not working properly in my system.
    When i was run the visual basic program it will show "visual basic has stopped working window is checking solution for the problem"like this.
    My program is not running. Please tell me the remedy for this kind of problem.
    Thank you

    Hello Vijayalakshmi,
    First of all, please make sure that you run the installer with elevated permissions (run as an administrator).
    Also please take a look at the
    Install Visual Basic 6 in Windows 8 guide. It describes all the required steps for installing VB6:
    1. Right click on setup.exe of your VB6 install and check Run as Administrator with XP SP 3 compatibility pack. I tried Windows 7 compatibility, it also worked.
    2. During the setup, go to components and select everything you want to install except for "Data Access". If "Data Access" is selected, the install will hang even though everything will be installed. Disabling "Data Access"
    ensures that the install completes and restarts your computer to finalize the install. Why this hangs the system is beyond me. LOL.
    3. I am using a 64bit machine, this is not supported by Microsoft and will not be supported as VB6 is 32 bit and should be hosted in 32 bit system. Thus some controls in my system didn't work. I found my listview control didn't want to burge at all.
    4. Download and install VB6 Service Pack (SP6) Runtime Extended (what??) from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957924?wa=wsignin1.0
    5. Now you can start vb6 ide and code, everything should be mnca!
    6. Step 1 done, now to code and install my VB6 app in some WinXp, Vista and & 7 machine!!
    crossing fingers
    Finally, you may also find the

  • Visual Basic RFC SAP no-unicode. Latin2 Caracteres are converted in '#'

    Hi,
    I are inserting data in Z SAP tables  from a Visual Basic Script.
    I are doing a RFC call.
    The problem is that the data type text aren´t iserting correct when its are Latin2 caracteres.
    Example:
    Text in Visual Basic: "Prevozni strou0161ki-železniu0161ki"
    But when theRFC function inserts the data in SAP, SAP  shows "Prevozni stro#ki-#elezni#ki".
    Could somebody help me??
    thanks in adavanced,
    Javi

    Thanks for your answer.
    But i din´t solve the problem.
    I changed the encoding to UTF-16 and ISO-8859-5 but the caracteres are inserting bad yet :(.
    I'm debugging the visual basic code and I can see that the text is correct in Visual Basic, but after it is incorrect in SAP.
    Too, I'm inserting  the value directly in visual basic sourcecode:
    T_BAPI_P.Value(index, "TXZ01") = "Prevozni strou0161ki-železniu0161ki NOVO"
    But the result is the same.
    SAP shows "Prevozni stro#ki-#elezni#ki NOVO".
    I have seen that in the transaction SM59 you can specify if the RFC conexion will be UNICODE.
    The SAP system that i am working isn´t unicode, then it can not the tag to especificate this in SM59.
    Could it be the problem that the SAP system isn´t unicode??
    sorry, for my English's low level.
    Thanks in advanaced for all yousr answer!

  • Run Java Applet (JAR) in Visual Basic

    Hi,
    I want to start a java applet within a visual basic form.
    One opportunity would be to implement a browser control and load a html file with the applet object in it.
    Is there a way to load the applet in VB without a browser control?
    Thanks for any tips & hints

    Oh, I'm aware of this way to start the applet.
    That's not what I want to achieve.
    I want to have the possiblity to integtrate my applet in a vb application (in a window in the vb app). For example if I would use MDI Forms I want the java applet to start as a child within the main vb window.
    I thought of using a browser OCX Control and loading a html which has the object tag with the java applet.
    Thanks anyway!
