Window Virtual Keyboard

[cumap]

Hello,
I'm having this script to activate Window virtual keyboard

Dim oShell
Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oShell.Run("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\osk.exe")
Set oShell = Nothing

No error, but keyboard activate at all.
I know the execute file works because I can go directly to the file location and double click it or at DOS type in osk, works the same.

Also, if possible, please show me how to make the code Onclick functionality. My intention is to have a link so that viewer can click to activate the virtual keyboard by choice.

Thanks in advance.

The oShell.run does return a code:

change your script a little:

intReturn = oShell.run ("C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\osk.exe")
Response.Write(intReturn)
response.end


that will hopefully provide with a clue

Running shell commands through ASP are executed on the server so the "virtual keyboard" will be launched on the server NOT on the client machine.

Thank you both for replying and sorry I couldn't check the message till now.

First of to foxbox, I modified and got result=0, what does that mean and how can I implement that further to my goal?

To Chris, you make sense. Do we have an ASP script to activate client window at all?

Thank again.

No. ASP runs on the server and the script is finished as the output is sent to the client browser.

There is an OpenSource javascript virtual keyboard at SourceForge that might be worth lookng at
