Which kind of VB you have in mind?
Visual Basic (Visual Studio ...) OR VBScript (VBS) OR Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) ?

Pako

You have two possibilities of passing commands with any programming language to Eventghost: Either you pass your commands per command line call or you pass your commands per COM (Component Object Model).

It should be easy to call a programm per command line with VB. You can use these commands: http://www.eventghost.org/docs/commandline.html.

The COM is more difficult, I have programmed an EventGhost interface in C# viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3789&p=21939&hilit ... %23#p21939. This can be a good orientation for programming it in VB.

Awesome. Is the COM object accessible via vbscript?

The COM object is accessible via vbscript. In the internet, especially on the MSDN, are a lot of tutorials about the COM. But to use a command line command, which is called by the vbscript, is easier.

Thanks! This is interesting.
