I've been thinking (pretty rare eh); in HTML pages, JScript and VBScript can run side-by-side. Can this be done easily within Plus!, like through a VBScript engine that has its own ActiveX control?

Oh and happy new year everyone!

If you were to design a Plugin system I am sure you could make it work.

That was one of my first thoughts too, yet I have absolutely no idea where to begin.
What exactly do you mean with "Plugin system"..?

There already is an ActiveX to do it, "MSScriptControl.ScriptControl". Enjoy

Well, I think that'll make it a little easier

The page at MSDN says there's very little documentation on the ScriptControl object, so I'm afraid I'll need to come back to this topic some time..

Anyway, thank you for this link, I'll see if I get some of it
Grtz

EDIT: cool I've managed to expose the MsgPlus object to the VBScript engine and display a toast through a .vbs file. Pretty useless, but hey, it's a start

Well, I'm almost done writing the plug-in system. However, is it possible that the MSScriptControl.ScriptControl object is not available on all machines?

Well, Plus! uses the script control I believe (not sure if it uses the activex, but it definitely uses WSH), so if it wasn't available, then Plus! scripts wouldn't work at all, so this is not really a problem

So the ActiveX is always available...?

As far as I know, yes. The script control (msscript.ocx) is part of WSH which is installed with Windows afaik. If WSH isn't installed then your script will never load so it shouldn't be a problem.

Edit: I mean your script will never load as in Plus!'s scripting system won't work, not your script specifically, this is rather awkward to word

I got it

All there's left to do, is finding a way to relay window events to the plug-in system
