Run .exe and call functions

Hi,
 
I'm trying to attempt the following, run a .exe program and then call commands in that program. I am able to run the program, but then it gets stuck and doesn't call the commands. I can open the program manually and then the call commands work fine.
 
Here is my script:
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")Set Magnet = wshShell.Run("""C:\Program Files\Infolytica\MagNet 7.2 (64-bit)\magnet.exe""", 1)

Call getDocument().setDefaultLengthUnit("Millimeters")Magnet.getDocument().getView().setScaledToFit(True)
 
Thank you in advance!

So you can open the program manually then run a separate vbscript that will call commands in that program? I doubt that.

I'm just telling you what I'm able to do. Magnet, the program I use, has a feature that records and runs scripts. So once I've started Magnet I can select "run script" and choose a script I want. That works fine, but ideally I want to be able to click on the script and have it open Magnet and run the script.

Aah, so you can use a macro within the program. This is subtly different than the impression that your original post gave. If the program exposes this in a COM API then you can do this via an external script. If not you could potentially use something like AutoIt to accomplish your goal.
