I have a bunch of VBScripts and I wanted to have a GUI so that I don't have to double click the actual .vbs. Is there a way or other programming languages that can launch VBS and have GUI?

Just edit and post your vbscripts that you want to interface it with HTA and the members here will assiste you to build your own HTA.Hackoo– Hackoo2015-04-05 22:40:11 +00:00Commented Apr 5, 2015 at 22:40

This is a console menu. Right click and choose Open in Command Prompt. Only options 3 and 5 do anything. This is from Filter's menu code at https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=E2F0CE17A268A4FA!121
Set Arg = WScript.Arguments
set WshShell = createObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set Inp = WScript.Stdin
Set Outp = Wscript.Stdout
Showmenu
Sub ShowHelpMenu
outp.writeline " -----------------------------------------------------------------------------"
outp.writeblanklines(1)
outp.writeline " Menu"
outp.writeline " ----"
outp.writeblanklines(1)
outp.writeline " 1 Help 2 HTML Help 3 Version 4 History"
outp.writeblanklines(1)
outp.writeline " 5 Exit"
outp.writeblanklines(1)
outp.write "Filter>"

HTA or web pages give VBSript graphical ui. The main difference is HTA avoid security prompts. Although if you load a local web page, so do web pages. You program an HTA as if it's a web page.
Here's an HTA in HTML/VBScript, It uses a object that is a text database object.
<html>
<head>
<style>
BODY {font-size :100%;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: black;
background:URL(images/watermark.gif);background-color: white;
margin-top:0; margin-left:0pt; margin-right:0pt ; text-align:Justify}
P {margin-left:40pt;margin-right:10pt}
TABLE {font-size: 90%; text-align:left; margin-left:40pt;margin-right:10pt;background-color:lavender;width:90%}
THEAD {color: white;font-weight:bold;background-color:darkblue; margin-left:40pt;margin-right:10pt}
TD {Vertical-Align:Top;padding:3px}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83"
ID=dsoMacro5 WIDTH=0 HEIGHT=0>
<PARAM NAME="DataURL" VALUE="music.txt">
<PARAM NAME="UseHeader" Value="True">
<PARAM NAME="FieldDelim" VALUE="	">
<PARAM NAME="Sort" Value="Title">
</OBJECT>
<h3>My Music Database</h3>
<h4>Select a button to filter list</h4>
<p>To search for a word in the Title field use <i>* word *</i>. To search for the first word in a field use <i>Word *</i> or the last word use <i>* word</i>. To search for a string within a word or word use <i>*partialword*</i>. Searches are case sensitive.</i></p>
<p><INPUT Name=tb1 TYPE=Text Value=""> <INPUT ID=cmdNavFirst TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" Search " onclick="dsoMacro5.object.filter='Title=' + tb1.value;dsoMacro5.reset()"></p>
<p><INPUT ID=cmdNavFirst TYPE=BUTTON VALUE=" Sort Book " onclick="dsoMacro5.object.sort='Book';dsoMacro5.reset()"></p>
<hr class="body">
<TABLE ID=tblMacro2 DATASRC=#dsoMacro5 OnRowEnter=Alert(tblMacro2.row)>
<THEAD>
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="20%"><b>Number</b></TD>
<TD WIDTH="60%"><b>Title</b></TD>
<TD WIDTH="20%"><b>Book</b></TD>
</TR>
</THEAD>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="20%"><SPAN DATAFLD=Number></SPAN></TD>

For this to work you need a database file called music.txt. Note that is TABS between fields.
Number Title Book
1 One A song
2 Two A another song
3 Three A yet another song
4 Four Yes it's a song

The first choice for a VBScript GUI is a HTA. All languages that can create a window/dialog and call external programs can run something like
P:\athto\corwscript.exe P:\ath\to\script.vbs pa ra me ters
So stick to HTA or pick the language you are most familiar with.
