Here is another sample. This script works fine in soundforge, but as soon as i take it to VS.NET 2003 is doesn't run (compiled as a class library).

Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports SoundForge
Imports System.Drawing

Public Class EntryPoint
Public Function Begin(app as IScriptableApp)

'begin here
Dim myform As Form
myform = New Form

Dim rc As SfRectangle = app.WindowRect
myform.Location = New Point(rc.left + (rc.right - rc.left - myform.Width) / 2, rc.bottom - myform.Height - (rc.bottom - rc.top - myform.Height) * 1 / 4)
myform.ShowDialog()

End Function

Function FromSoundForge(app as IScriptableApp)
ForgeApp = app
app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is running.", Script.Name))
Begin(app)
app.SetStatusText(String.Format("Script '{0}' is done.", Script.Name))
End Function
Public ForgeApp as IScriptableApp
Public Function DPF(sz)
ForgeApp.OutputText(sz)
End Function
Public Function DPF(sz,o)
ForgeApp.OutputText(System.String.Format(sz,o))
End Function
Public Function DPF(sz,o,o2)
ForgeApp.OutputText(System.String.Format(sz,o,o2))
End Function
Public Function DPF(sz,o,o2,o3)
ForgeApp.OutputText(System.String.Format(sz,o,o2,o3))
End Function

End Class 'EntryPoint

I've had similar issues. I'm not as experienced with programming as you, so I probably can't tell you anything you don't already know. However, since the forum moderators haven't posted in a few weeks, I just wanted to chime in.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem seems to center around passing the code to Sound Forge. The only way I've seen scripts get triggered are by either manually starting the script, or by invoking Sound Forge through a command line, with the script path as an argument (there's a thread about this in the forum).

If a script could be triggered in any other way, I'd love to know, as it would mean I could code in a VB editor instead of the bare-bones Sound Forge Script editor.

First of all, assuming you are going to C# instead of JScript, the "imports" must be changed to "using".

Here's the guts of one I've done in C# in VS.Net 2003 compiled to a DLL:


using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.IO;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Reflection;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using SoundForge;



public class EntryPoint
{
private static BatchConvert.BatchConvertForm form;

private static IScriptableApp app;

public void FromSoundForge(IScriptableApp app)
{
EntryPoint.app = app;

// your code begins here.
app.SetStatusText("Script Started");

app.SetStatusText("Script Complete");
}
}

namespace WhateverYouWant
{


/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Form1.
/// </summary>
public class YOURForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private SoundForge.IScriptableApp forge;

/// All form stuff deleted
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;

public YOURForm(SoundForge.IScriptableApp app)
{
//
// Required for Windows Form Designer support
//
InitializeComponent();

//
// TODO: Add any constructor code after InitializeComponent call
//
forge = app;
// Do other stuff here
}

/// <summary>
/// Clean up any resources being used.
/// </summary>
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if( disposing )
{
if (components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose( disposing );
}

#region Windows Form Designer generated code
//rest of the form stuff removed

}

I was trying to work with VB.NET thats what i am most familiar with. I am trying to display a form (see my code from previous post). This code works fine in the Sound Forge script window (without the System.data import) but it doesn't work (the same exact script) if you compile into dll and try to run it.

Is there a problem with running VB Script? Do i have to use C#

OK, for anyone interested i figured out the problem. In VB.net when you create a project by default the root namespace in the project properties gets defaulted to the project name. This needs to be blank or otherwise it doesn't work... Go to project properties, Common properties -> General. The root namespace box should be blank. If you are using c# this property window looks different.
