Hilmar,

It can be confusing for someone without experience in either VB/VBScript. There are some methods, exposed by the WScript object, that aren't available from within VFP. For example, the Error object and the Sleep method.

In the case of the former, there are some instances, such as manipulating the Registry that you'd probably be better off sticking with the Registry class in the FFC or Rich Strahl's class. Further, both of these are more robust than what you get with the WSH.

In the case of the latter, you'd have to use the API call that the Sleep method wraps.

Further, there is at least one object that doesn't quite work correctly in VFP. In this case, it's the WScript.Shell's Popup method. This method produces the same dialog box that MESSAGEBOX() does. When we wrote the articles, we initially thought we might be able to extend VFP's built-in call to MESSAGEBOX(), since the Popup method has a time-out parameter (remember VFP 7.0 wasn't released then). Unfortunately, it doesn't work from within VFP.

We took all these things into consideration when we wrote the series. Are there things that we didn't cover that could be useful from within VFP? There very well may be, so have fun poking around the WSH.
