I have searched the web and asked many questions to many people and with a little help from Roger_74 (thank you!!!) on this forum I finally managed to write my frist VBscript example that works!

-----------------------------------------
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports SonicFoundry.Vegas

Public Module MainModule

Public Sub Main()
ShowMessage()
End Sub

Private Sub ShowMessage()
MessageBox.Show("hello world")
End Sub

End Module
----------------------------------

So From what I understand you need to put everything in a Module called MainModule and in there Vegas starts to run code from Sub Main() then you can start doing whatever you want!

Have you downloaded the vegasscripts.zip file from the Vegas download page? In that zip file is a "simple.vb" file that looks as follows:



' This most simple VBScript displays the version of the Vegas

' application in a message box.  Notice that any script that talks to

' Vegas will import the SonicFoundry.Vegas.Script namespace. Please also

' notice that the portion of script code that Vegas will invoke must be

' placed in a subroutine named "Main" which is in a module named

' "MainModule".

'

' Revision Date: Jan. 30, 2003.



imports System.Windows.Forms

imports SonicFoundry.Vegas



Public Module MainModule

Sub Main

  MessageBox.Show("VegasApp.Version: " & VegasApp.Version)

End Sub

End Module

The one thing you have done is to actually add an additional subroutine (which is a GOOD thing) and successfully called that routine.

I, too, am a Visual Basic programmer. However, I have switched to jscript for my Vegas coding because that is what ALL of the samples I could find are written in. The two are "close enough" in most areas to allow a quick switch. You may want to look at http://www.ayizwe.net/VegasScripts/ for the FAQs page - gives a LOT of beginning information.
