While using HTA userform for VBscript, I found that HTA doesn't support WScript and its objects/methods.
Is there any alternate way of creating userform or is thery any way to make HTA support WScript?

An alternative to WScript.Echo
would be to simply add content to the DOM:
<script language="vbscript">
dim div: set div = document.getElementById("output")
div.innerText = "output"
</script>
<div id="output"/>
or if you want a dialogbox instead, you can use MsgBox()
<script language="vbscript">
MsgBox "output"
</script>
You can use Scripting.FileSystemObject
without WScript
<script language="vbscript">
dim fso: set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
dim path: path = fso.GetAbsolutePathName(".")
'... etc
</script>
Put your Wscript
code to a .wsf
-file and call the script like this:
shell=new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');
shell.Exec('WScript //Job:job_id PATH_TO_YOUR_WSF_FILE');
Via .wsf
you can use also methods like WScript.Sleep()
, WScript.SendKeys()
etc. which are not available in HTA.
