Adding a GUI to VBScript

Question

I\'m currently working on a vbs script but I need user interaction with script. Basically I need two buttons and 4 checkboxes ( checkboxes isn\'t important).

Thanks

VBScript has dialogs, only not many and no checkboxes, you would need a COM object to do so (and there are). I'm sure you know Messagebox and here an example of the less known Popup

Dim WshShell, BtnCode
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

BtnCode = WshShell.Popup("Do you feel alright?", 7, "Answer This Question:", 4 + 32)

Select Case BtnCode
   case 6      WScript.Echo "Glad to hear you feel alright."
   case 7      WScript.Echo "Hope you're feeling better soon."
   case -1     WScript.Echo "Is there anybody out there?"
End Select

However, the best way to have more dialogs in vbscript is using HTA. Here an example

In one thing i agree with Cody, vbscript is nearly dead, if you start programming choose another language. Take a look at Ruby, the start is easy to learn an it is FUN. Here an example of u ruby script using shoes as GUI

require 'green_shoes'
Shoes.app{
  button("Click me!"){alert("You clicked me.")}
}

EDIT: since my Ruby alternative rises some questions, here a more traditionel way closer to Vbscript uses of the same sample. The sample above is used more for a functional chained way of programming.

require 'green_shoes'
Shoes.app do
  button("Click me!") do
    alert("You clicked me.")
  end
end
