GooeyScript lets you create versatile form dialog boxes (i.e., forms) that can include various form components (e.g., customized backgrounds, buttons, check boxes, combo boxes, progress bars, radio buttons) that full-blown applications require. In addition, GooeyScript lets you create forms that can pause a script to trap events that happen on the form and pass those events to the script.
When you download the GooeyScript .zip file, you must install the demo ActiveX controlgooeyscriptdemo.exeand the VB 6.0 runtime DLLs on each client that will use GooeyScript before you begin scripting with this tool. GooeyScript comes with an excellent VBScript script that helps you use GooeyScript. In addition, the Woodchop Software Web site provides the full interface definition.
