HTA Progress Bar using VBScript and JavaScript

July 17, 2009 2 comments »

I was informed after my last post that using HTA (HTML Applications) to display a progress bar in VBScript is much more efficient than using InternetExplorer.Application within a VBScript. Having never used HTA before, I immediately set out to learn a bit and see what I could come up with.

My initial thoughts are mixed, as you can not run and interact with an HTA from a VBScript file.  This requires you to wrap your VBScript code in whatever HTML Application you are writing. This greatly limits re-usability, enough so that the increase in performance may not warrant using an HTA for a progress bar in most cases.

Simple VBScript Progress Bar

July 16, 2009 8 comments »

Recently I had a need for a simple progress bar written in VBScript to let users know what was going on in a multi-step application. To my surprise, VBScript has nothing built in for a progress bar.  After much searching, I was able to find this thread that linked to yet another thread with a simple progress bar done in HTML using InternetExplorer.Application.  I have taken this code and modified it to show an actual progess bar, with percentages, that can be updated as desired.  I’ve wrapped it up in a nice easy-to-use class for reusability.  Enjoy!
