Scripting Language
VDS was originally developed by Julian Moss (JM-Tech). Later the French company S.A.D.E. s.a.r.l. took over development. Currently VDS is owned by the British company Commercial Research Ltd.
Two versions are available:
A shareware version that comes with a 28 day evaluation period, after which a license must be purchased for continued use. The unregistered version is feature-limited: it is not possible to compile executable files and the Icon Editor is unavailable. Registration will provide a registration code that activates compilation and a supplementary package including the Icon Editor.;
A freeware version: Personal VDS (PVDS). This version is incapable of compiling executable files, however compiling files is not necessary as a script file can be executed directly by opening it from Explorer on a system that has PVDS installed on it.;
Scripts
VDS resembles BASIC. Here are some one-line code samples:
# This is a single line comment
Rem This is a single line comment
# The line below displays a simple Message Box with a single Ok button
info Hello world!
# The line below is the syntax for creating a user definable dialog box
# dialog create,<name>,<top>,<left>,<width>,<height>
# The line below is a single command to write to the Windows registry
registry write,USER,Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,MyProgram,%%MyProgramPath
# The line below is a function that will display a dialog box with a editbox for the user
# to enter some value. The function returns the value the user entered
%%MyVariable = @input(Please enter a value:)
