VB App references in VBS????

[Smithsco]

Is it possible to use a reference (such as MS speech object library) in VBscript?

What would I have to setup to make it useable?

I'm not exactly sure if you can - but what I do know you can do is that you can have an activex componment developed in VB that can be referenced by your vbscript - and tht activex component can have all the references that you want in it.

Hope it helps...

Have you tried the

WScript.CreateObject

method ?

I haven't tried the create object method as I'm not enirelt sure what to call.

Hmm.. I think the activeX is a bit out of my league.

The short story is No, it doesn't. If you use Windows Script Components, you can use the <reference> element to include a type library, but that simply gets you access to the constants defined in the type library.

If you're goal is simply the constants (which I don't think it is), you can add them to a .h file, use the FileSystemObject to read it in, and the Execute/ExecuteGlobal statement to include them into the script. There's an example here of how to do that.

There may be script editors that allow you to set references to type libraries and then it would manipulate the code to VBS acting similar to VB. It wouldn't be that difficult, but I don't know of one off-hand.

FYI, if you download the MS Speech SDK, there's a DHTML example. It's in javascript, but it'll get you the ProgID's you're after.
