Problems Capturing activex events in HTAfiles using VBS ,,JS works

[mrrrhanson]

Hi.
I was converting a file from JS to VBS and ran upon the problem of
captureing events.

The quik questions ..

Can i capture activex events in an .hta file useing vbscript ...??
Is JScript the only way to do this inside an .htm file?

//////////////////////////////////
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

// Create the Sapi SpVoice object
var VoiceObj = new ActiveXObject("Sapi.SpVoice");

// lots of fun code

// Handle EndStream Event
function VoiceObj::EndStream() {
idbSpeakText.value = "SpeakText";
idImage.src = "mouthclo.bmp";
}

//// Events are captured and useable useing JScript.. but, i want to be able
to use all VBscript
//////////////////////////////////////////////

'----
My conversion of the 'fun code' to vbs is fine, but the events dont work
'----
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

Dim VoiceObj : Set VoiceObj = Createobject("Sapi.SpVoice") ' this cannot
find server.. thus no events

'// Handle EndStream Event
Sub VoiceObj_EndStream()
idbSpeakText.value = "SpeakText"
idImage.src = "mouthclo.bmp"
End Sub

'-- then i tried

Dim WithEvents
Set VoiceObj = CreateObject("Sapi.SpVoice")
' this dont do it.. no events

'--
i cannt use this one cuz it needs WScript object (but it works fine in a
xxxx.vbs file
Set VoiceObj = WScript.CreateObject("VoiceObj","VoiceObj_")

i have adjusted and tinkered all the code .... and must be missing
something.
is a Type library the answer..? i have'nt checked on these yet..

If you choose to use VBScript, you obviously aren't doing anything for a
publicly accessible web site since VBS is a Windows IE only thing. I
suggest you ask Microsoft what's wrong with, or how to use/program,
their stuff.
microsoft.public.pick-a-better-newsgroup-than-alt-html

In the event you are supposed to be doing something for a publicly
accessible web site, stick with JS.
comp.lang.javascript is over there ->

Thanks for the info ,,
This is for my own learning experiance.
i did figure that js is more common cuz that seems the common language in
pages,
and dont seem to popup the active X warnings.
I asked here cuz i thought maybe someone may have experianced the the
problem..
and will probly use/learn more JS.
