Use VBS in labview

[JertoZ]

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to use a VBS with LabVIEW 8.

There's way too many acronyms in this business. Could you explain what VBS stands for?

[JertoZ]

VBS stands for VBScript.

Actually, I'm trying to call a VBScript from ISriptControl wich is an ActiveX controll.

How about just using the Windows Scripting Host app, wscript.exe? You can just call this via the System Exec function that ships with LabVIEW. No ActiveX necessary.

By the way, are you seeing this bug? If so, just do what the article says, and write a null string to the "Language" property and then set it to "VBScript". For example, the following little bit works:

Thanks again

Does this still work in 2013? I get this error:

"Error 97 occurred

Possible reason(s):

LabVIEW:  A null or previously deleted refnum was passed in as an input."

Probing the refnum control provides "0" and the class selected is "MSScriptControl.IScriptControl"

Using: LabVIEW Version 11.0.1 (32-bit)

Where do you get the MSscriptControl and IScriptControl?

There is a couple of step to get the right automation Refnum:
