I'm new to Plus! and JS.

I'm pretty skilled with VB 6 & VB.Net however.

Is there a way to have all the events aviable in VB, maybe an API call or function?

Or do i have to manually make a "translator" for each event and argument etc etc?

How could i go about doing this any way? I don't know any direct way to communicate from JS to VB... well fast any way, i'm sure i could read/write to a file... but that's just not practicle.

Also (Not related to the post) When i was doing the mini tutorial that you can download for JS, i found a problem; When i try to make a xml form come up (i don't know the correct term for it). It would not show. I tried restarting MSN and the script and i followed it exactly, i even tried to get it to show up when a msg was recieved (by looking at the code from other scripts), but nothing worked. I'm still trouble shooting this problem however.

Create an ActiveX DLL then call it as an ActiveXObject in the scripts.

What do i put in this DLL?

So i have to manually make all the events and stuff in the dll?

What JS do i use?

Make sure the XML file is saved as Unicode
Check out this example I made : Matty's reply to Cannot CreateChildWnd

You code whatever events you want it to do. Like have a MessageBox appear.

Remeber also you need to register your DLL using regsvr32 or by calling the Exported function from the DLL called DllRegisterServer (i think its called).

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(bMessengerStart){
    var MyActiveXObject = new ActiveXObhect('Projectname.Classname');
}

ok, thanks for that!

I Will create a DLL and when it's finished i may post it on this site, with script included of course.

User defined objects and forms (from JS) will be a problem for me however and the DLL may not include them.

My bad too, i missed that! I didn't save it as unicode, it was saved as the default (ANSI). It now works

Corrected typo

This is going to need 2 actives X files...

One that communicates and translates from JS.

The other will be added to a VB project and used to relay the commands from the JS active X.

They'll communicate with the send message api or somthing like that.

Maybe if you explain in great detail what your plugin/script will do, we could help you more.

As I see it now, you're making it way, and I mean waaaaaaay , too complicated and unneeded.

lol, I'm trying to make it so that i can use VB instead of JS. I don't know much about JS i doubt it's as powerful as VB (well i know JS is good and probebly as powerful, but in a different way). VB has a good editor and all that as well, plus it's easier to link up to other programs and manipulate strings and all that stuff.

My plan in the end is to make a bot with VB that my msn can use, but i guess it will be better just to make the momma load so i can use the same code if i want to make something else with msn/vb later as well.

I don't think JS is good to do something like this in.

I see... well it can perfectly be done in JScript though, just as easy as it is in VB and you wouldn't have all the overhead and stuff...

Note: you only need 1 ActiveX DLL (yuor 'bot') and the wrapper script if you still want to continue to do this in VB6; not two activex DLLs. Also you don't need the sendmessage API, events in your activex dll can be triggered directly from within JScript and vice versa.

In fact, you don't need to make this event driven actually. Your activex dll could simply be the "core engine", processing the given text (manipulating the text and stuff) and outputting the reaction, while your JScript script simply calls the procedure from that "core engine" to process a string. No need for events syncronization between JScript and the activexdll in that way.
