Re: batch file to display ip address when rollover clock

2009-11-26T18:03:29Z

Batch files and VBScript programs cannot detect mouse rollover events. VB
programs can, but only on forms belonging to the program. You would need to
code your own clock application to achieve this functionality.
You could code a VBScript program to retrieve the current IP address, then
place a shortcut on the desktop that runs the program. For example, the

The variable cnt is never assigned a value. Even if it were (or if iArg were
used instead), the code seems to assume a certain number of arguments, which
may not be the case. I don't know what you are trying to do, but maybe
something similar to below would work better:
dim objArgs , iArg
Sub help

Hi Freddy.
While you are trying to solv your scripting problem I suggest that you make
a reservation on the DHCP for the mac address to the printer. That would
solv your problem and give you time to play around with scripts...

Thanks. I may just use a separate (see note above) Excel file to do
what I want.

I'm not quite certain I can solve your problem, but I do see what I
think is a fatal flaw in the logic you have posted. It would appear
that you are trying to search for an IP printer by way of its MAC, but
the WMI service you are using is referenced to the local machine (the
DOT in the objWMIService instantiation code). So the query should

Guy,
Problem:
I was assign a task for DR (Disaster Recovery). Lets say our print server
goes down for a few hours, I need to find a way to map computers by IP
address. The problem is that our printers are on DHCP so if the ip changes
then I will be unable to print.
Solution (I hope):

Win64 is going to be increasingly problematic

understand why anyone would use Win64 unless
they're doing something like editing movies and
need 8 GB RAM. But now that you've got it...
Win64 is really 2 OSs in one. It also has the
equivalent of 2 Registries. (Win32 software can

You have two sources of error. The following revision
illustrates them. The first is due to the fact that you
exit your program before Excel has a chance to do
anything. When you exit the VBScript program, the
Excel directive goes away, too. So sorry. You have
to specifically insist that Excel not go away just yet

I can't run it because I don't have Excel, but what exactly are you
trying to do? Do you want "mytest()" to run once after a delay, or
do you want it to run every five seconds?

I have created the following VBS code:

MsgBox "Before OnTime"
objExcel.Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"), "MyTest"
MsgBox "After OnTime"
Sub MyTest()
MsgBox "MyTest"
End Sub
The first thing I see is "MyTest", verifies Sub MyTest() is working.
