01:01:07 <DFWM> do you guys cover vbscripting ?

01:02:40 <damian> if we know!
01:05:12 <DFWM> do people just paste in here ?
01:05:25 <DFWM> its a loop testing.. and its about a page long
01:06:01 <damian> www.pastebin.com
01:06:02 <damian> or something
01:06:37 <DFWM> whats pastebin.. does it stay up forver ?
01:06:48 <damian> you can remove it on most of them
01:08:36 <damian> mp3:[Oasis - Oasis - So Sally Can Wait|128Kbps|4mins 48secs]
01:10:50 <DFWM> its posted
01:10:55 <DFWM> under terry
01:11:10 <AusVote> hello, just wondering if anyone knows how to retreieve web data in c++
01:11:13 <AusVote> i.e i have a dialog box , all that i need is for the dialog box to retrieve a website
01:11:29 <DFWM> damian: can you help me with it ?
01:11:52 <damian> .. give me the link, numbnuts
01:12:14 <damian> no idea, AusVote .. but why do you want to use c++?
01:12:38 <DFWM> http://pastebin.com/d6df1271b
01:12:54 <AusVote> which other options is available? it needs to be able to run in win32?
01:14:44 <DFWM> without the URL.. you have no other way of finding it or searching for it ?
01:15:48 <damian> what do you need to do exactly dude?
01:15:55 <damian> if you pick a language, it'll work in Windows
01:16:49 <AusVote> all i need it to do is, once executed a window will open, full screen, no menu options or anything, just blank but within the window, it'll say bring up www.google.com.au and you can use the web page within the application ?
01:17:10 <damian> why not just use the default browser?
01:17:31 <AusVote> preference
01:17:45 <damian> eh?
01:18:07 <AusVote> would prefer to use the app
01:18:09 <AusVote> not browser
01:19:41 <damian> you realise that if you use an application .. it will just be using an API from IE or something anyway, yeah?
01:20:01 <damian> to design your own browser inside an application would be stupid++ and too much for anyone on here to be able to do
01:20:18 <damian> you would just be loading up a window inside your program that loads internet explorer and connects to the site
01:20:33 <AusVote> hmm
01:20:48 <AusVote> ok fair enough
01:20:50 <AusVote> thanks anyway
01:21:47 <damian> and what's your actual issue DFWM?
01:22:32 <DFWM> can you see the script ?
01:22:50 <damian> yeah
01:23:08 <DFWM> I have a do loop which asks a student user name
01:23:13 <DFWM> its an input box..
01:23:22 <DFWM> the users see an ok.. and a cancel
01:23:22 <damian> yeah..
01:23:35 <DFWM> the cancel should loop to the start of the entire script
01:23:51 <DFWM> and a blank input should ask a username again
01:24:50 <damian> yeah..
01:24:54 <DFWM> the cancel should go back to iAnswer = Msgbox("Would you like to configure a Student ?"
01:25:14 <DFWM> and a blank field just to the start of the do loop
01:25:25 <damian> yeah..
01:26:13 <DFWM> I'm fairly new to this.. and loops are killing me
01:26:38 <damian> so what's your issue
01:26:51 <damian> you've pretty much got it covered in there
01:28:38 <DFWM> the cancel button actually does not loop.. it just quits out od the script
01:29:08 <DFWM> and if a user hits ok.. with a blank input it lets it through
01:29:10 <damian> the iAnswer cancel?
01:29:20 <DFWM> the studentusername
01:29:20 <damian> or when you're choosing a student name
01:29:31 <DFWM> the inanswer cancel should be the only one that shopuld quit
01:30:56 <damian> no idea
01:31:07 <damian> actually, some idea
01:31:08 <DFWM> thats alright
01:31:15 <damian> If StudentUserName = -1 or StudentUserName = "" Then
01:31:15 <damian> Wscript.Quit
01:31:15 <damian> End If
01:31:16 <damian> -
01:31:25 <damian> that's the only quit you have, so when you hit cancel.. it must set -1 or something
01:31:38 <damian> create another iteration to see if VbCancel has been pressed, or whatever it is
01:33:26 <DFWM> no worries
01:33:34 <DFWM> I'll take a look
01:33:37 <DFWM> thanks
