View Full Version : VBScript for Pocket PC?

I'm in the middle of teaching myself VBScript for some administrative tasks that need doing. I was wondering if VBScript was supported on Pocket PC 2002, and if so, were there any programs that would do one or all of the following

a) provide a sort of beefed up Notepad-type interface for writing scripts
b) debug written scripts
c) run written scripts.

I can do without actually running the scripts, if I could debug them so that I know that they would run in a Windows 2000 environment.

Am I hoping for too much here?

EDIT: Freeware or low cost shareware would be preferred...as I am on a pretty tight budget here.

No, there is no vbscripting engine on the Pocket PC devices at all. But you can use something like VisualC or NSBasic to develop simple code for the Pocket PC.

You can program with eVB which is basically more like VBScript than full VB. However you can't write it on the device (AFAIK), you can download Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools for free at

I did a quick search on handago and found this: http://www.handango.com/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?siteId=1&jid=71488767E8EBB752345X1X7DD5F7ACX3&productId=38787&optionId=1_2_2&productType=2&catalog=30&txtSearch=script&sectionId=0&platformId=2

It doesn't run any of the scripts I've developed on the desktop (which makes sense), but I'm not sure exactly which VBScript objects, methods and properties I CAN use with this.

Has anyone seen this before?

By the way, thanks for the eVB info...I've downloaded and installed the app, and am trying to figure out my way through it.
