VBScript commands

[kpmwrestler]

I have decided to learn VBScript. I have a few questions:

What is a good site that lists out ALL of the commands, explains them, and shows how to use them? (Commands such as Wscript.echo and InputBox)

Are there any other commands to the WScript.(something) besides WScript.echo? If there are, how many and what are they.

How do you create a loop in VBScript?

How many other commands similar to inputbox are there?

How do you make the script maximize when opened?

oops! the commands such as inputbox are actually called functions, right?

vbscript reference
http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/vbscript/quickref/vbscript_list.html

for wscript reference goto link above and click WSH in the left side pane

you have for...Next, foreach...Next, do...loop check the reference for syntax

msgbox will only display data, but you can add different buttons to perform different actions

lookup wscript.run syntax for maximizing windows

Wow that is exactly what I was looking for!!!


Thanks a bunch

Thanks a huge amount!!!


MsgBox("Thank You!!!"), vbExclamation, ("Thanks!")

Could you please help me with the LoadPicture command?

here is what I have so far:

LoadPicture("f:\pig.jpg")

It doesn't have any errors, but it doesn't display my picture?

im almost certain that vbs doesnt have a loadpicture function builtin. but you could create a user defined sub or function to do it. ummm, load picture would prolly have to be implemented inside a ASP script.

what exactly do you want loadpicture to do?

what about this:

is there any way to make vbscript do automated stuff like:

A script that is burned to a cd, along with other things on a cd, and when the cd is inserted (no matter what drive letter the cd drive is) the script will automatically start?

 

[kpmwrestler]

I still can't find out how to maximize a vbscript window within the same script. The only way I know is through a batch file:

@echo off
start /max f:\test.vbs

how do you use the fileExist command?
