Opening add-in window from script

[bilon]

We need to create parametrized script and enable users to set parameters interactively. My idea is to open add-in window from the script, which would enable to change the parameters, and then continue with the script or to call another script which would do the rest of work. Is it possible to do something like this or is it absolute nonsense?

Yes, you can do that. EA's API offers to create custom windows. There are already a number of (open source) solutions that make use of that.

If you have installed your add-in, then the public classes in your dll should be registered to COM and thus also be available to the scripting environment.

In VBscript you can use the CreateObject() syntax just like you would with a class from .Net
