timmyb, you used Visual basic to code the window but it runs within Ninja? How can this be possible since Ninja does not understand VB ?

OK i understand, you code in VB but the output is converted into C#. To make it run anywhere do we need to install a special runtime on our computer ? or simply the NET framework is all we need ?

I wonder if we could not use this tool: https://www.networkautomation.com/automate/8/

To create windows and pass orders to Ninja as they say it can replace Windows Scripting. Since we can create windows with WSH so i thought we could do the same with automate but more simply.

Don't think you can do it nor with Automate and even nor with WSH.
But may be I'm wrong.

Of course you are. When i was a system analyst we used it to build quick and cheap interfaces to help users automate different functions. About automate, i know nothing about it.

if he use vb.net he runs in msil the same as c#.
so it is easy to convert to c#.

Causality is the relationship between an event (the cause) and a second event (the effect), where the second event is a consequence of the first.

Ok I think I understand where i was misinforming.

I meant I use Microsoft Visual Studio. No visual basic itself

I dont convert anything I just copy and paste the code. I have to change a couple things but it was rather easy.

in microsoft visual studio I go file new windows form and build it from there. Look at the strategy code I posted and you will understand it better
