Anyone ever try a WinAPI callback function call in VBScript? Here's the deal: I am trying to write a procedure that will open an internet explorer browser, and return the browser's Widows handle. I can use the EnumWindows API call to do it, and I can write something in VB6 that does this very well. However, I need to write this so that it is portable without dealing with DLL hell issues. Also, QTP needs to be able use it. I am going to see if I can get this to work, but thought someone might've tried...

Looks like I will be doing a couple of sessions at the Greenville Code Camp otherwise known as SC CodeCamp 2.0.

The last one there is totally...

I strongly dislike waiting. This applies at the drugstore, the DMV, or any other place. I patiently accept that this happens, however, since life is just like that. I do try to avoid it whenever reasonably possible, especially at work. Which explains why I try to never use a Wait() statement in QTP. Wait seems like a cop-out; rather than attempt to find that one property that indicates the state of my application, I’ll put pick a time and hope for the best. My linear-thinking, anal-retentive mind...
