how to set script language on a script control

1. What is the proper dispIDmember name I can use to set the Language?

The ones I used did not work.



If I don't set language, I get
---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Script: c:\documetn and setting\smith\Local Settings\Temp\z.vbs
Line: 11
Char: 1
Error: The operation could not be completed because the script engine has
not been initialized to a valid language.
Code: 80004005
Source: ScriptControl

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

If I try settign the language with any of the names I used I get something
like:
---------------------------
Windows Script Host
---------------------------
Script: c:\documetn and setting\smith\Local Settings\Temp\z.vbs
Line: 10
Char: 2
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Language'
Code: 800A01B6
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------




For example:

Dim objVbscript

' Dim is_ScriptControl = "MSScriptControl.ScriptControl"
' set objVbscript = CreateObject("VBScript.Control")
set objVbscript = CreateObject("MSScriptControl.ScriptControl") ' works


' XX objVbscript.Language("VB Script Language") ' non of these 3
statemetns work
' objVbscript.Language("VBScript")
' objVbscript.Language("{B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}")
objVbscript.Reset()




' -------------------------------- end of test script --------------------

What I am trying to do to to debug the protocol so I can call the scirpt
control from another programming language and use the script control to
execute some vbscript. Do I really need reset()?

If anyone has experience in this area, I will appreciate very much some
samples or some pointers.

the object browser mislead me. Language is a property not function as
purported by the object browser!

objVbscript .Language = "VBScript" ' works fine
objVbscript .Language ( "VBScript" ) ' does not work

The download from Microsoft for scriptcontrol has a help file while the
built-in for winxp does not seem to have! They certainly bury that really
well from me
