Hi Again Bruce: OK, I reviewed the MSCRT dll and found out what it all means and understand what you are trying to do. I am not sure you can hook into the MSCRT dll from within a VBScript in any case but I could be wrong. There seems to be allot going on in the Visual C Library which may require access to framework objects - I didnt see that mentioned but it sounds logical. There is some kind of problem with VBScript where it can not do some things and as a result cant tie directly into many of the Managed Libraries which MSCRT may do. The idea is great and, if it works, would provide some very nice features to scripting but it is beyond me. The only thing I could think of would be to experiment trying to include it in a script somehow. If you want to hook into it via a C++ program I think that is doable enough then you could hook the script via methods in the C++ program. I think it could be done in a C# program but I didnt see anything on that other than a blurb on setting some compiler options - and I am not sure that wasnt really suppose to be for C++ since I didnt dig into the details. Make sure you have a backup of your system if you muck about with that puppy since I saw allot of olks who had major problems with it for one reason r another with one of the symptoms not being able to boot up if I remember. Sorry I cant be more help but you are digging pretty deep into some pretty cool stuff and I am just an old fat blind guy who does a little application programming usually related to Financial Platforms. Just out of curisoty let me know if you get it working as it may offer some very interesting options to scripts. Rick USA

I think I got taken to the wrong web site and that is always a problem. I now have a real good working PyInstaller now and I can compile on any of my computers, Python25 or Pyth0on27. The best one is Python 2.5 and modifications were needed for Python 2.6 and later and that is where it fell apart. For the needed dll, MSVCRT is packaged differently for each studio version, thus causing lots of problems when doing a compile; fixed now. I would like to write a dll for studio and I am using 2010 at the moment, 2010 express. I would like to make a hook for the MSCRT so the input and display commands could be usable inside VBScript in an easy way. I have bypassed that now with the keyboard hooks I posted the other day by just making dictionaries for all the commands neeeded for any project or game. So, if you can help I would be appreciated. I thought I had DLL info when first installing VS2010 but have been unable to find it since. Bruce Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 5:25 AM Subject: Re: Registering A Dll For VB Hi Bruce: 2 things... First, doesnt nvda use python to develop in? And, if so, do you know if python has an easy access to either the MS managed UIA features or if they use the Managed version of the UIA features if python has access to the Managed Framework? Second, you mention 2010 Express which sounds like you may be doing something in one of the Visual Studio lagnlanguages. If so I can help you with DLL(s) in vb.net and likely c#.net but I am confused if you are working in VBA - that sounds like perhaps you are working in Office Products. Anyway, what do you know about python and accessing UIA features if that is what you are doing.

I will live with what I have. I may write an app and compile it to be able to use Python for many things... My 2010 express seems to not have any Dll stuff, I could not find anything, but thought for sure I had found some back when I first installed it but have not been able to find it again. The key functions I posted are the best solution for now and should work just fine. This is why I posted them for anyone can define them any way they chose to either using 1 call back function or one for each, so will leave it at that. Thanks, but have to do outside work and will have to pry myself away from the computer because I spent the last 2 days writing a simple mixer program which almost could be used as a Python version of the PlaySound function/object with the added feature of repeats and volume adjustment. It actually works with a few minor bugs which can iron out some later day. Thanks, Bruce Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 8:14 PM Subject: RE: Registering A Dll For VB Bruce, The first example I see is his ironcom.net, meant for sharing some .net objects I think. His other app I was remembering is named HomerJax, it implements shared objects in Jscript. Due to an unfortunate bug in GW's appGet however, this won't show up for you as a choice unless you uncheck the "show English only" choice in the appGet's "View" menu; the HomerJax app apparently has no language specified, so it doesn't show up with the English apps, and this is the default for appGet. Once you uncheck this, you should see it in the "general" category.

Also, the dll I wanted to load was the MSVCRT or future ones, which are changing each time Microsoft writes and new studio, so that idea died, besides not being able to call from the dll which is always running. Unless someone has come up with a way to call the MSVCR dll properties and methods on this list. which app examples did Jamal write or where are they, or what are they called? It certainly would be nice to use the Python sound mixer apps because there much easier to use, including id and volume control. They also use the MVCR dll by actually calling it by name, for they wrote a module for it using the same name. So, if you can give me the location of those examples he wrote and I will take a look at them.

I don't know Jscript, but I'm under the impression it can use a DLL; if that's correct, you could use it or Python and write some glue routines which are shared, and have them call the dll. I believe Jamal wrote some examples of shared Jscript apps. Of course you could write glue routines in vb.net and have them call the dll as well.

How do you register a dll for sharing inside the we object model? Bruce
