VBScript inherited much of VBA's functionality, including support for math operations, arrays, flow control, data conversions, COM objects, procedures, and date, time, and string manipulation. VBA has many powerful functions and provides excellent support for variables, data types, and error handling. Here's a collection of scripts that you can you as a base for scripts in ActiveXperts Network Monitor: The VBScript check can be customized by editing the VBScript function.

Out-of-the-box, each VBScript function monitors the same items as the built-in check. Most of the built-in checks have a VBScript equivalent, implemented as a Function in a VBScript (.vbs) file. To monitor other items, or to combine monitoring items, you can make use of custom VBScript checks. Each individual check has a static number of configuration items. For example, long integer numbers are a type called Long, double-precision floating-point values are a type called Double, and text is a type called String.ĪctiveXperts Network Monitor ships with a powerful set of pre-defined checks. You classify the data that variables and constants hold into types. A variable is an item that holds data that can change during a script's execution, whereas a constant is an item that holds data that can't change during a script's execution. Three important elements are variables, constants, and types. VBScript's syntax includes many elements. With WSH, the Windows OS treats a VBScript file as an executable -in other words, like a batch (.bat) or executable (.exe) file.Īs a result, you can use VBScript's rich and powerful functions and syntax to compose system-level scripts. VBScript has become a popular language for writing Windows-oriented batch files through the Windows Scripting Host (WSH). VBScript descends from Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), which is the language Visual Basic (VB) and Microsoft Office products rely on.Īlthough Microsoft initially designed VBScript as a scripting language for the Web, VScript has a Basic-like language that many popular applications (e.g., Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer-IE) and many developer products (e.g., Microsoft Visual Studio-VS) use. It uses COM (Component Object Model) to accessĮlements of the environment within which it is running.

VBScript (short for Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is the de-facto scripting language for Microsoft Operating Systems.
