Read keypress using JScript?

Windows Scripting Host doesn't provide any UI, well, not a GUI at least If you use CScript. Exe then you can use StdIn, StdOut, etc. See Wscript.StdIn. Read method These are most of the objects available for Windows Scripting Host: main WSH objects the dictionary and FileSystem objects come in handy: Dictionary and FileSystem objects But if you want a GUI, then you can run an HTA file in MSHTA.

Exe and use HTML/CSS/JavaScript to handle your UI needs and still use the WSH objects Overkill? Well, list what you want from your UI. Now, you'd have to provide a mechanism for accessing all those features.

And your example code shows you'd want to do it in a HTML-DOM-via-JavaScript-like manner. So, you'd need an HTML parser and DOM support. Looks like you want access to most of what a browser provides at that point.

Thanks, HTA was the missing link. It provides an environment where JScripting and ActiveX control of Applications meets GUI. – Thomas Nilsson Mar 28 at 20:18.

Try var tap = function (e) { ...code... } document. Onkeypress = tap.

Your code does about the same, only replacing a function declaration with a function expression... – Marcel Korpel Mar 28 at 18:32.

I don't think the Windows Script Host provides an API for keyboard hooks. The most reliable way to do this may be to create a COM component that implements a keyboard hook (in C#/C++, for example) and use an instance of that object in JScript as needed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
