Using the Win API in VBScript?

[somenerd]

My Question:
Can I use the Windows API in VBScript?
If so:
HOw do I do that?

Would be nice, if you could give me a link
Or an example, how I generally do it.

I allready tried that and couldn't do it directly because to use an API in VB, you need to declare it with a statement that looks like this :

Public Declare Function AddPrinterConnection Lib "winspool.drv" Alias "AddPrinterConnectionA" (ByVal pName As String) As Long

Vbscript doesn't allow this kind of external declaration. The only way, to my mind, to achieve what you want is to create an ActiveX (with VB for exemple) that will encapsulate your API call and then instanciate this activeX in VBScript using CreateObject method.
