I have to thank TATcreator because even know he doesn't know it he gave me the idea to make this .. lol.
Make sure you look at the First step 'installation' before downloading!!!!
I really hope you like it..

STEP 2: How It Works: Part1
The ComboBox
As i said i made it with vb 2008 so there is no batch scripting.
To make it all i really had to do was:
if 'write' is selected in combobox
change label2 to 'Write a message - Do not add the echo!'
show textbox1
change textbox1 text to 'What do you want it to say?'
Which turns out as:
If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = ("Write") Then
Label2.Text = ("Write a message - Do not add the echo!")
TextBox1.Show()
TextBox1.Text = ("What do you want it to say?")
End If
I had to keep doing this for every item on the combobox.

STEP 3: How It Works: Part2
The Buttons
The buttons were one of the hardest things to do,
The Add Button
For the add button to work I had to do a lot of coding but once I had done that the rest was fairly simple...
Part of the add code:
if 'Write' is Selected in combo box then
add 'echo ' + contents of textbox1
end
Which turnes out as:
If ComboBox1.SelectedItem = ("Write") Then
ListBox1.Items.Add("echo " + TextBox1.Text)
End If
it was mostly the same for most of them, as shown in the pic.
The remove button is just:
Remove selected item from list
which is:
ListBox1.Items.RemoveAt(ListBox1.SelectedIndex)
the clear button just clears the whole list then adds the first two lines again:
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
ListBox1.Items.Add("::Made With iRule Batch Maker")
ListBox1.Items.Add("@echo off")
and the move up and down code just move selected item up or down:
(code to long to put up)

STEP 4: How It Works: Part3
The Save/Load
The Save and Load were probably the hardest part,
This is just the save code:
Dim sfdMain As New SaveFileDialog
sfdMain.InitialDirectory = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments
Dim Result As DialogResult
sfdMain.Filter = "Batch Files (*.bat)|*.bat| CMD Files(*.cmd)|*.cmd"
sfdMain.FilterIndex = 1
sfdMain.ValidateNames = True
Result = sfdMain.ShowDialog
If Result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter(sfdMain.FileName)
For i As Integer = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
sw.WriteLine(ListBox1.Items.Item(i))
Next
sw.Close()
sw.Dispose()
Else
Exit Sub
End If
if you understand vb you will know what that does but if you don't:
basically, all it does is show the save dialog, and it saves all the contents of the list into a batch file or cmd file

sw.WriteLine(ListBox1.Items.Item(i))

i know this is a bit late, but I think the reason why it would not work on older systems, is because there is no current .NET framework installed.

Hey,nice work. I was just wondering if you could make a tutorial on your "MakeABatch.exe" program. I DO have VB 2008 and I DO know how to code in both Batch(.bat) and Visual Basic(VB).
Thanks anyway.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

* VB.NET: heaven knows why... but see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2k7ayc03%28v=VS.80%29.aspx anyway.
* In C, it was pointer-array equivalence. In C, array[index] == *(array + index). So the first element had to be element 0 or you lost space equal to the size of the type held by the array, and back in 1972 that was a Bad Thing.
* C++ and C# desired backwards compatibility with C. See above.
On the other hand, several languages index from 1, and one (I think) indexed from a programmer-specified positive integer. Either way, accessing negatively-indexed array items is Not A Good Idea.
