catching an event in VBScript

Question

guys. This is a VBS script that opens google, fills a form, and clicks a search button. ``` set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") ie.navigate("www.google.com") ie.visible = true while ie.readystate <> 4 wscript.sleep 100 WEnd set fields = ie.document.getelementsbyname("q") set buttons = ie.document.getelementsbyname("btnG") fields(0).value = "some query" buttons(0).click ie.quit Sub OnClickSub() MsgBox "button clicked!", 0 End Sub ``` Obviously, `buttons(0).click` fires an onclick event of the button, which I somehow need to catch in my script, and provide it with some processing like launching `OnClickSub()`. Has anyone got any ideas how this should be done?

Accepted Answer

Use the `GetRef` function to obtain a pointer to your event handler and bind it to the `onclick` event, like this:

```
buttons(0).onclick = GetRef("OnClickSub")
```

(Apparently, `attachEvent` doesn't work when called from outside the web page.)
