Showing a textbox on screen for feedback 1

[Guest_imported]

I have a VB Script which I am using to do an application install, ie. copying several files. I want to place textbox on screen and write to it with details of the various files I am copying. How can I get access to a textbox in Vb Script. I am just running the script from windows and not through a web browser.
Thanks in advance.........

Hi Pete199,

Or try this example at link:

http://www.java-scripts.net/scripts.phtml?cid=9&sid=58&cn=Misc.&title=Dynamic Update Box

In particular, the following line causes textarea to be updated every 4.5 seconds:

document.slideshow[0].value=messages[curmsg]

Just stare at their text box for a few seconds, and you will see the text updates. Neat huh. In your case, you want to add a new update row as build progress continues. Add your code to replace these canned messages, and you are in!

Good luck,
Norm

PS I found this example instantly via google.com

Hi Norm,

Yes that is probably better suited to what Pete199 needs. A star goes 2U.[Smile]
