hi tBaker,

This is an unusual request to post here. I assume you tried to get
an answer over at the winbatch forum, and none was forthcoming.

As far as scripting a winbatch app with vbs (rather than winbatch itself), that sounds a little far-fetched.

Scripters here tend to use IE instead of windows forms for a graphical
user interface, and what you suggest is entirely possible with an IE
gui plus scripting.

My recommendation is to try something like AutoIt3 or FBSL (Freestyle
Basic Scripting Language) both of which provide normal windows
graphical interfaces _and_ basic-like scripting. Their graphical interfaces provide all the "usual suspects" (i.e., their own versions
of the standard microsoft vb controls such as the listview control).

FBSL: http://www.fbsl.net/phpbb2/index.php

cheers, jw

I've scripted a rather intricate interface for use in my company utilizing Winbatch.
I persent the user with 3 windows on the screen. A current list of files in a folder,
a chosen list that will be later used for concatenation, etc.., once the user depresses
the SUBMIT button. Since these lists are of the type Winbatch terms ItemList the files can be moved back and forth between lists essentially adding and removing them as the user sees fit. My question is, can a script be written where the user can use the ALT key plus the + or - keys to move the item selected up and down the list in a third window of the type MultiLineBox? ( The lists are CRLF deliniated files.)
