How can I stop a service and wait for it to finish stopping in vbscript?

I've got this so far:

For Each objService in colServiceList
    If objService.DisplayName = "<my display name>" Then
        objService.StopService()
    End If
Next

Googling turned up a suggestion of using objService.WaitForStatus( ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped ), but running that gives me an error of "Object required: 'ServiceControllerStatus'".
