What is VBScript?
Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) brings active scripting
to a wide variety of environments. Even if you don't know Visual Basic, you
can learn VBScript and begin to program. VBScript is a great introduction to
the Visual Basic language suite.
VBScript talks to host applications using ActiveX Scripting. With ActiveX
Scripting, browsers and other host applications don't require special
integration code for each scripting component. ActiveX Scripting enables a
host to compile scripts, obtain and call entry points, and manage the namespace
available to the developer. With ActiveX Scripting, language vendors can create
standard language run times for scripting. Microsoft provides run-time
support for VBScript.
Developers may license VBScript's source implementation at no charge for use in
their products. Microsoft provides binary implementations of VBScript for the 32-bit
Windows® API, the 16-bit Windows API, and the Macintosh®. VBScript is integrated with World Wide Web browsers. VBScript and ActiveX Scripting can also be used as a
general scripting language in other applications.
