This small project is to create a VB front end that should replace a simple DOS menu.
Currently the DOS menu promtps the user for 5 arguments (name_string, scenario, user, pass, site) and then allows the user to select one of the 30 menu items.
Depending on the menu item choose, the Batch file just call a VBscript.
I don’t need integration with that script. Just the VB front end that will pass the command depending on what the user has clicked.
I also don’t need a fully populated VB GUI, as long as I can then edit the source, I will add more options myself.
Easy but no time.

User Input

set /P target_san=Enter Target Name]. (%target_name%):
If ‘%target_san%’==” goto SYNTAX
set /P scenario=Enter Scenario [A, B, C] (%scenario%):
If ‘%scenario%’==” goto SYNTAX
set /P username=Enter Username (%username%):
If ‘%username%’==” goto SYNTAX
set /P password=Enter Password (%password%):
If ‘%password%’==” goto SYNTAX
set /P trigram=Enter Site Trigram(%trigram%):
If ‘%trigram%’==” goto SYNTAX
……
Target name should be radio buttons with 3 names hardcoded
scenario is a drop down.
rest is InpuBox.
echo. General settings
echo. ———————
echo. 1. Action 1
echo. 2. Action 2
etc….
:ENTER
set /p choice=
if ‘%choice%’==’1′ set label=action_01
if ‘%choice%’==’2′ set label=action_02
etc…
Each choice is unique (there are 40 of them) so a radio box is enough.
No multiple tick box are required and drop down list too prone to errors.
Then a big Green button that says go 
REM ************************************
REM Command sent to the VBscript
REM ************************************
cscript “:PathVBscript.vbs” %target_name% %LABEL% %scenario% %username% %password% %trigram%
So the VB GUI is just used to create the command line above and display what’s going on in a DOS prompt embedded in the interface. The VBscript issues some Command Prompt so we need to see them.
