Hello IE, Goodbye HTA

When you want to use the Internet to explore, in your script, you may think that using hypertext application. Hta Web documents and scripts are embedded script code, however, you can actually use the IE browser without using your vbscripts hta. Although you do not have the same interactive options, it can be a good way to display information (progress, for example) users outside the standard console window. Heres how.

First establish a reference application of the Internet Explorer Object: OIE set = createobject ( "internetexplorer.application") hta in a script, you will usually create detailed window, hta: labels. Similarly, you can set many of these same attributes with the IE browser Target: oie.addressbar = false = false oie.menubar oie.toolbar = false = false oie.resizable = 450 oie.height oie.width = 400 = true oie.visible You need to tell a Web page that is open, but not really because you create a document, for its load, you can set the navigation loaded with a blank page: oie.navigate ( "About: blank") Now, not everyone is as fast as a machine, because I am sure that you are sitting on the right side, so this is a very good move with you that is, until the script is ready to respond to your script. You do so, that is to sleep until it is no longer report itself, because "busy": and oie.busy wscript.sleep 100 wend now, the IE browser has been prepared, you need to establish another target - this time for the paper and your work. Again, this is not a practical document, once opened, any information that can be written to the document object in HTML format, it will be displayed in real-time. As an example, the report said that the script, it is mapping drive, and then call subroutine, you can map a number of drives. To maintain the focus, I will provide a brief comment, and the script sleep, in order to simulate the actual work is being done. You can do the same check-out a software update, you can replace the comments and what action you would like to express status. However, it should be fairly easy to read, and make our own, we should find it necessary to: a odoc = oie.document odoc.open odoc.write ( "
