Help and suggestions needed for non programmer


Question

Hi, I am a complete non-programmer right now but I am trying to learn. I have a very simple project that I thought VBScript would be able to handle, but I cannot find any tutorials that relate to using VBS in a non web environment.

All I want to do is understand how I can use VBS (or if someone can suggest a better alternative) to help perform an action based on either a left or right mouse click on a desktop button.

For example, I have button/icon on the desktop, when I left click I want the script to perform one task, say open a menu, and when I right click I want the script to perform a different task.

So, if some kind soul can point me towards a resource for helping me with this or suggest a better method, I would be most grateful.

Thanks

I am fairly certain that you can't do what you want with scripting. You can't intercept mouse messages with script, unless it is in a web browser.

Try looking into C#.NET or VB.NET.
