Contains named constant values that specify the state of a scripting engine. This enumeration is used by the IActiveScript::GetScriptState, IActiveScript::SetScriptState, and IActiveScriptSite::OnStateChange methods.

SCRIPTSTATE_UNINITIALIZED

Script has just been created, but has not yet been initialized using an IPersist* interface and IActiveScript::SetScriptSite.

SCRIPTSTATE_INITIALIZED

Script has been initialized, but is not running (connecting to other objects or sinking events) or executing any code. Code can be queried for execution by calling the IActiveScriptParse::ParseScriptText method.

SCRIPTSTATE_STARTED

Script can execute code, but is not yet sinking the events of objects added by the IActiveScript::AddNamedItem method.

SCRIPTSTATE_CONNECTED

Script is loaded and connected for sinking events.

SCRIPTSTATE_DISCONNECTED

Script is loaded and has a run-time execution state, but is temporarily disconnected from sinking events.

SCRIPTSTATE_CLOSED

Script has been closed. The scripting engine no longer works and returns errors for most methods.
