I have a HTA code below which list all sub-folder in a specific folder.
My question is that if I click one sub-folder from list, how can it auto-create the second list that gives me all child-folder in that sub-folder? and so on till there is no more child-folder found, the last child-folder needs to list all files in it. Also how can I add a extra option in the end of each list called [new folder] that will pop-up a window allowing enter the name to create a new folder.
In the end if click [submit] button, It will open the last child-folder I choose in windows explorer.
I am new to vbs, so please help

Thanks for help
Why aren't you using the Shell.BrowseForFolder method like I suggested? Trying to re-invent it in HTA will always be awkward.
As for your question, you need to add an onChange handler to the <select> tag:
<select id="list" name="list" onMouseOver="UpdateList" onChange="EnumSubFolders">
</select>
and a procedure EnumSubFolders to enumerate the child folders:
Sub EnumSubFolders
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
For Each opt In list.options
If opt.selected Then
Set sf = fso.GetFolder(opt.value).SubFolders
'do stuff with sf
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
You may need to apply some modifications to UpdateList, too (like remembering the currently selected option before refreshing the list).

I want to run a HTA file where, there is a loop in which the parent HTA calls a child HTA to display an update on a regular interval. I want the child HTA to be remain open with old update and it should close when it is called again with new update and diplay it. I tried to do it, but I am unable to add close HTA condition on the child HTA. Which results in all Child HTA opened in the background.

Call this Sub before opening the child hta. Make sure the name of the hta matches its actual name.
Sub CloseChild
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")
Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select CommandLine from Win32_Process where CommandLine like '%child.hta%'")
For Each objProcess In colProcessList
objProcess.Terminate()
Next
End Sub
Edit: I just wanted to comment for anyone who may read this later. Putting CommandLine in the select statement is not explicitly required, even though this property is used in the where clause. You can select any or all of the properties in the Win32_Process class, including or excluding CommandLine.
I do suggest selecting only the properties you need to increase the speed of the query, and historically, for clarity, I select the same property as I use in the where clause if I don't actually need one.
I have following code working fine.
<object classid="clsid:6BF52A52-394A-11D3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" id="WindowsMediaPlayer"
width="242" height="202" style="position:absolute; left:1;top:1;">
<param name="URL" value="C:\HTML\Sounds\oos.wav">
<param name="autoStart" value="0">
</object>
I would like to crearte Start/Stop methods in VBScript for this object.
So I am doing like
Sub Start
Dim oElm
Set oElm = document.getElementById("WindowsMediaPlayer")
if oElm Is Nothing then
MsgBox("element does not exist")
else
' MsgBox("element exists")
oElm.controls.play();
end if
End sub
But it does not work.
How to fix it?
I have been fighting with this for month. I know that this is not going to get everywhere but I want to share the resolution with a bit of backstory.
I have been creating unattended installations for everything under the sun and it has been going really well except that it's... well, unattended and mostly hidden so that I did not know where it was in its progress or anything else for that matter. I decided then to use an HTA file instead of Powershell or VBScript alone. Figured it would give me something to look at while all this was happening. Cool, right? Almost a year of working on it and trying every different devolving code I could find. Today that paid off.
I found the same code you used with the OBJECT instead of a common VIDEO tag. It was clunky and more code that I wanted to write but it worked... mostly. I could not send CSS references to it (ie. OPACITY:.5) or even position the darn thing. I found I could using the IE=7 or 8 references make slight changes, but then scripting it (VBScript) was almost impossible. Could not find the references that would work all the time. Alternately, switching to IE9 - IE11 broke the rest of my code. None of the calls or refs made sense.
Ultimately, it was a whole lot easier than anything I had found! SO much wasted time to get back to the very beginning...C'est la vie! Here is my code, though for privacy I've removed my personal domain and made everything local. It works, though not as efficiently as using a stream. Hope this helps. Share it with everyone!
Note: for fun I've opted to show my custom Office 365 install. Obviously I could make this fully unattended, but I just used the files rather than allowing the download function!

So here is what i am wondering about boys and girls - first of all i am a complete noob to this, LITERALLY just starting so don't go too hard on me. I have a bunch of code i wrote, to make a .HTA application:

This works perfectly as it is supposed to, when i check both programs, both of them will run, when i check one of them, only one will run. But what if i have like 50 different programs on that list? I suppose there is a simplier way to write this than writing load of if/else/elseif statements for each program combination? As mentioned above im complete noob to this, maybe i simply haven't discovered an easier way yet... But that's also why i ask.
You can use the elements attributes for your purpose.
Iterate over all the checkboxes, then start the process using its path stored in your custom attribute if it's checked. Done.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/vbscript">
Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Sub StartProcesses
Dim Checkbox
For Each Checkbox In Document.getElementsByName("process")
If Checkbox.Checked Then
objShell.Run """" & Checkbox.getAttribute("path") & """"
End If
Next
End Sub
</script>
</head>
<body>
<font face=Calibri>
Check the program you would like to run! <br>
Available programs to run for now: <br>
<div id="ProcessList">
<input type="checkbox" name="process" path="cmd.exe">CMD <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="process" path="iexplore.exe">Internet Explorer <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="process" path="%programfiles(x86)%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe">Firefox <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="process" path="calc.exe">Calculator <br>
<input type="checkbox" name="process" path="notepad.exe">Notepad <br>
</div>
<i>Choose which program(s) you'd like to run. It is possible to run multiple programs at one time!</i>
</font><br>
<input type="button" onclick="StartProcesses" value="Submit"><br>
<div id="error"></div>
</body>
</html>
So I use VBScript frequently, and I have several scripts that call the same function. At the moment, each script has that function just copied in there at the bottom, but it's a pain when I have to make an updated, because I have to update several files (and I usually forget about some). Is there a way where I can:
1. Have "TestScript1" call "TestScript2"
2. Have "TestScirpt2" take an argument from "TestScript1" (i.e. a specific date variable)
3. Have "TestScript2" run its functions, and pass 3 different arguments back to "TestScript1"
And a bonus would be if I could actually somehow do all of that and have it work for multiple scripts interacting with "TestScript2".
I do this with objShell.Exec in some of my scripts. Essentially I have a script named after the function I want to do and I call it from another script.
In the "parent script" I have a function called runExternal:
Function runExternal(strScript,strComputer)
'strScript is the name of the script/function I'm calling
Set objExec = objShell.Exec("cmd.exe /c cscript.exe """ & strPath & strScript & ".vbs"" " & strComputer)
intDelay = Timer+5
intTimer = Timer
While objExec.Status = 0 And intTimer <= intDelay
intTimer = Timer
Wend
If objExec.Status = 1 Then
strReturn = objExec.StdErr.ReadAll
writeLog strScript & " returned " & strReturn
Else
objExec.Terminate 'terminate script if it times out
writeLog strScript & " timed/errored out and was terminated."
End If
End function
Then in each "child" script, I accept the argument I passed to it by using:
strComputer = WScript.Arguments(0)
then to output I write this way:
WScript.StdErr.Write "whatever the output is"
Have you considered using an HTA? This is an example how you can use HTA's if you want to load and combine multiple script files:
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo IT</title>
<HTA:APPLICATION
ID="objShowMe"
APPLICATIONNAME="HTAShowMe"
SCROLL="yes"
SINGLEINSTANCE="yes"
WINDOWSTATE="maximize"
>
<SCRIPT Language="VBScript" src="testscript2.vbs"/>
<SCRIPT Language="VBScript">
Sub TakeOff
text = "1 2 3"
argArray = GiveMeThree(text)
msgbox argArray(0)
msgbox argArray(1)
msgbox argArray(2)
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<h1>In the body</h1>
<input type="button" value="Click me!" onclick="TakeOff">
</body>
</html>
In testscript2.vbs
Public Function GiveMeThree(x)
GiveMeThree = split(x, " ")
End Function
I think the best way to do this is to create a Windows Script Component. This will expose your script as a fully baked COM object that you can call from anywhere - VBScript or any other programming language that supports COM.
Here's some example code. This is in a file with a .wcs extension.
<?XML version="1.0"?>
<?component error="false" debug="false"?>
<component id="SVInfo">
<registration
progid="Tmdean.ScriptFunctions"
description="Description of your COM object"
version="1.5"
clsid="{3267711E-8359-4BD1-84A6-xxxxxxxxxxxx}"/>
<!-- generate your own GUID to use in the line above -->
<public>
<method name="MyMethod"/>
</public>
<script language="VBScript">
<![CDATA[
Function MyMethod(param1, param2)
MyMethod = param1 + param2
End Function
]]>
</script>
</component>
Register this file to COM with the following command.
regsvr32 scrobj.dll /n /i:file://J:\scripts\scriptfunctions.wcs
Then you can call the methods in VBScript using the ProgID that you defined in the script component.
Dim script_functions
Set script_functions = CreateObject("Tmdean.ScriptFunctions")
WScript.Echo script_functions.MyMethod(2, 2)
I can't get the following function in VBScript to work. I am trying to get all of the files in a folder and loop through them to get the highest numbered file. (file name format is log_XXX.txt) The problem that I am having is that the code never enters my For Each loop. I am new to VBScript, but I don't seem to understand why this won't work.
Function GetFileNumber(folderspec)
Dim fso, f, f1, fc, s, tempHighNum
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(folderspec)
WScript.Echo f.Files.Count : rem prints 3
Set fc = f.Files
WScript.Echo fc.Count : rem prints 3
Set tempHighNum = "000"
For Each f1 in fc
WScript.Echo f1.Size : rem does not print
WScript.Echo f1.Type : rem does not print
WScript.Echo f1.Name : rem does not print
s = Right(f1.name,3)
IF NOT(ISNULL(s)) THEN
IF (s > tempHighNum) THEN
tempHighNum = s
END IF
END IF
Next
GetFileNumber = tempHighNum
End Function
Change this line:
Set tempHighNum = "000"
to the following:
tempHighNum = "000"
You are attempting to set the tempHighNum variable to a string type. Therefore, you should not use the Set keyword. Set is only needed when assigning object types to variables.
I am not sure how your script works so I put this HTML application together for you. It uses a batch file called Dir.Bat located in C:\Batch which makes a file called Data.Txt located in c:\Temp. Then the script takes
over. The script reads the file Data.Txt line by line. As each line is read two split statements are used to separate out the string in the text file's name. After that I collect those strings containing numbers into the variable ListCol as I test for larger and larger numbers. I finally wind up with the largest number which I place in your original variable tempHighNum. I will post the HTA file and the Dir.Bat file. I know I did not write the script as a function using a parameter so if you really need to use a parameter, I will try to help you by changing the HTA file to make it possible to enter the path and file name in a TextBox. That should make it easy to
change and use. I added and changed a thing or two to make it run smoother.
