I have a question about how to make execute VBS in vb6 (VBS haves form3 (from vb6 project .)show)

I made a dialog with Microsoft common dialog control 6.0

CommonDialog1.Filter = "File (*.vbs)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
CommonDialog1.DefaultExt = "vbs"
CommonDialog1.DialogTitle = "Select File"
CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

The FileName property gives you the variable you need to use

    Not sure if I understand your question correctly, but have a look at how to use the Microsoft Script Control to execute VBScript code within your application, i.e. code in a textbox control. If you just want to execute the selected VBScript file as a separate process, use VB's Shell function instead. Commented Sep 6, 2021 at 16:19

A work-around might be just executing the script using Shell.

Shell "wscript.exe c:\myscript.vbs", vbNormalFocus 

Shell "wscript.exe " & CommonDialog1.FileName, vbNormalFocus

See Microsoft's wscript documentation.

vbNormalFocus is there to restore focus to your vb6 program. It is optional but you probably want it. See documentation.

but wscript is fine but i need to open internal forms in vbscript (form3.show)
Sorry, I am not sure I understand. You have a VB6 program and a VBScript, correct? You want to run the VBScript from your VB6 application, correct? By form, do you mean the VB6 dialog Form (techotopia.com/index.php/…)?
Did I understand it backwards and you want to open a VB6 program from VBScript?

#eglease no open vb6 in vbscript i need open vbscript in vb6

Looks like you are trying to run a VBScript from your VB6 app to open a dialog in the VB6 app.

VB6 -> VBScript -> Same VB6

You cannot do this with Shell since it runs the script as a separate process. The Script does not know what Form3 is because it is a component of the VB6 app and would not exist as a separate entity once the app is compiled.

Edit: Looks like what you want to do is possible but with Microsoft Script Control. Here are a few examples. Thank you @GSerg for pointing this out.

This or this might be used as a work-around but I don't think it is the right way to go.

Go back to your requirements. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? There has to be a better way.

You easily can with Microsoft Script Control as noted earlier in a comment. Just give the script some object of yours, such as your Forms collection, with AddObject, and it then can operate on it.
@GSerg This should be the answer. I am still not sure why you would want to do that but it does answer the question.
