Example code

Multiple items in one file

import vbspython    
file = vbspython.makefile()

file.msgbox("The next item will be an input box!")
file.input("Give your input here")
output = file.run() #Will be a list

Run instantly

import vbspython

print(vbspython.system("whoami")) #Some attributes from makefile can also be run instantly
> J3ldo

Msgbox

import vbspython

icon = vbspython.itemattributes.msgbox.icons.information()
options = vbspython.itemattributes.msgbox.options.ok_cancel()

vbspython.msgbox(text="Hello!", title="My first message box!", icon=icon, options=options) #will show a message box try it your self

Getting output

import vbspython

#This is a simple program which says if you said yes or no 
if vbspython.msgbox("Yes or no?", options=vbs.itemattributes.msgbox.options.yes_no) == vbspython.itemattributes.msgbox.returns.no():
    vbspython.msgbox("You said no!", getoutput=False)
else:
    vbspython.msgbox("You said yes!", getoutput=False)

Input

import vbspython

print(vbspython.input("What do you think of this library?")) #will print the input the user gave

Variables

Variables is an easy way to set variables to items in vbscript like output or system. Here is a quick example.

import vbspython as vbs

file = vbs.makefile()

var = file.Variable("myvariable")  # Declare the variable name.

file.system('whoami', variable=var.apply()) #  Apply the variable to the output of system.
file.msgbox('You are: ', variable=var.reference()) #  Show the output using the reference keyword

file.run() #  Run the file

Pressing keys

import vbspython

file = vbspython.makefile()
file.execute("notepad") #Will open notepad using windows + r
file.sleep(1) #sleep is in seconds. This will sleep the python file and the vbs file but is not needed if run without a file
file.presskeys("Hello world!")
file.presskey("enter") #Will press enter. To get a list of keys leave empty
file.run()

Looping

#Dont run like this
import vbspython as vbs
file = vbs.makefile()
file.msgbox("I am indestructable!")

while True:
    file.run(deletefile=False)
    
file.delete()

#But like this
import vbspython

file = vbspython.makefile()

@file.loop()
def loop_this():
   file.msgbox("I am indestructable!")
   

file.run()

Looping an amount of time

import vbspython

file = vbspython.makefile()

@file.loop(10)
def loop_this():
   file.msgbox("I will be run 10 times!")
   

file.run()

Special folders

import vbspython

path = vbspython.specialfolder("Downloads")
print(path) #Will print the path to downloads could be useful if your downloading things

Text to speech

import vbspython as vbs

file = vbs.makefile()

tts = file.tts()  # Enable the text to speech.

tts.volume(50)  # Set the volume of the text to speech. Cant be higher then 100.  
tts.rate(1)  # Sets the rate of the speaker. Can't be higher then 10 and must be higher then -10.  

tts.voice(vbs.itemattributes.tts.voice_1())  # Sets the voice of the speaker.  

tts.speak("Hello, world.") #Says the text. The same as say.  

file.run()  # Run the file.  

Copying

import vbspython as vbs

vbs.copy("Hello, i am copied.") #Copies: 'Hello, i am copied.' to the clipboard
print(vbs.getcopied()) #Prints the current copied item on the clipboard

Creating shortcuts

import vbspython

shortcut = "picture.png" #If the shortcut is clicked it will open the picture
location = "./" #Current executing directory
icon = 20 #put in an integer for the built in icons. Else put in a string with the location to the .ico
name = "openpicture" #this indicates the name of the shortcut

vbspython.createshortcut(shortcut, location, icon, name)
print("Succesfully made the shortcut!")

Creating hotkeys

import vbspython

#First off the unfunny script.
open = "bananas.png" #Will open bananas.png
hotkey = "Ctrl+Alt+e" #When you press ctrl and alt and e at the same time it will open.
name = "hotkeyname" #optional. can be left blank

vbspython.createhotkey(open, hotkey, name)

#the next one is a funny troll script. It will disable a random key on your keyboard
import string, random

open = "nothing.vbs" #A blank vbs script which does nothing.
hotkey = random.choice(list(string.ascii_lowercase)) #Will get a random ascii character. When pressed the key will look like it wasnt pressed

vbspython.createhotkey(open, hotkey)

Deleting hotkeys

'''
Deleting hotkeys needs to be done manual. First of go in to file explorer and enable show hidden files. 
Then go to your desktop and search for a file with a standard .exe icon called: vbspythonhotkey_{the id/custom name}.
Now the hotkey has been deleted!
