  Additional Closure Information:
  Cannot operate CATIA when a form is shown by vbs.
  A correction has been promoted in CXR20 to make VBA macro
  execution compliant with the RefreshDisplay property.
  This property indicates if the display is refreshed during a
  macro execution, it is valuated by default to FALSE for VBA
  macros execution.
  Before the correction the display was always refreshed for
  vba macro in 64 bits.
  A remark : the customer macro uses the VB function DoEvents
  which is rather dangerous
  (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bd65th41%28VS.80%29.asp
  x
   caution part)
  We suggest to set the property RefreshDisplay to true at the
  beginning of the VBA script ( CATIA.RefreshDisplay=TRUE)
