.SYNOPSIS Shows an interactive menu to the user and returns the chosen item or item index. .DESCRIPTION Shows an interactive menu on supporting console hosts. The user can interactively select one (or more, in case of -MultiSelect) items. The cmdlet returns the items itself, or its indices (in case of -ReturnIndex). The interactive menu is controllable by hotkeys: - Arrow up/down: Focus menu item. - Enter: Select menu item. - Page up/down: Go one page up or down - if the menu is larger then the screen. - Home/end: Go to the top or bottom of the menu. - Spacebar: If in multi-select mode (MultiSelect parameter), toggle item choice. Not all console hosts support the interactive menu (PowerShell ISE is a well-known host which doesn't support it). The console host needs to support the ReadKey method. The default PowerShell console host does this. .PARAMETER MenuItems Array of objects or strings containing menu items. Must contain at least one item. Must not contain $null. The items are converted to a string for display by the MenuItemFormatter parameter, which does by default a ".ToString()" of the underlying object. It is best for this string to fit on a single line. The array of menu items may also contain unselectable separators, which can be used to visually distinct menu items. You can call Get-MenuSeparator to get a separator object, and add that to the menu item array. .PARAMETER ReturnIndex Instead of returning the object(s) that has/have been chosen, return the index/indices of the object(s) that have been chosen. .PARAMETER MultiSelect Allow the user to select multiple items instead of a single item. .PARAMETER ItemFocusColor The console color used for focusing the active item. This by default green, which looks good on both default PowerShell-blue and black consoles. .PARAMETER MenuItemFormatter A function/scriptblock which accepts a menu item (from the MenuItems parameter) and returns a string suitable for display. This function will be called many times, for each menu item once. This parameter is optional and by default executes a ".ToString()" on the object. If you control the objects that you pass in MenuItems, then you want to probably override the ToString() method. If you don't control the objects, then this parameter is very useful. .INPUTS None. You cannot pipe objects to Show-Menu. .OUTPUTS Array of chosen menu items or (if the -ReturnIndex parameter is given) the indices. .LINK https://github.com/Sebazzz/PSMenu .EXAMPLE Show-Menu @("option 1", "option 2", "option 3") .EXAMPLE Show-Menu -MenuItems $(Get-NetAdapter) -MenuItemFormatter { $Args | Select -Exp Name } .EXAMPLE Show-Menu @("Option A", "Option B", $(Get-MenuSeparator), "Quit") #> function Show-Menu { [CmdletBinding()] Param ( [Parameter(Mandatory, Position = 0)][Array] $MenuItems, [Switch]$ReturnIndex, [Switch]$MultiSelect, [ConsoleColor] $ItemFocusColor = [ConsoleColor]::Green, [ScriptBlock] $MenuItemFormatter = { Param($M) Format-MenuItemDefault $M } ) Test-HostSupported Test-MenuItemArray -MenuItems $MenuItems # Current pressed virtual key code $VKeyCode = 0 # Initialize valid position $Position = Get-WrappedPosition $MenuItems -Position 0 -PositionOffset 1 $CurrentSelection = @() $CursorPosition = [System.Console]::CursorTop try { [System.Console]::CursorVisible = $False # Prevents cursor flickering # Body $WriteMenu = { Write-Menu -MenuItems $MenuItems ` -MenuPosition $Position ` -MultiSelect:$MultiSelect ` -CurrentSelection:$CurrentSelection ` -ItemFocusColor $ItemFocusColor ` -MenuItemFormatter $MenuItemFormatter } & $WriteMenu While ($True) { If (Test-KeyEscape $VKeyCode) { Return $null } if (Test-KeyEnter $VKeyCode) { Break } $CurrentPress = Read-VKey $VKeyCode = $CurrentPress.VirtualKeyCode If (Test-KeySpace $VKeyCode) { $CurrentSelection = Toggle-Selection $Position $CurrentSelection } $Position = Get-PositionWithVKey -MenuItems $MenuItems -Position $Position -VKeyCode $VKeyCode If (!$(Test-KeyEscape $VKeyCode)) { [System.Console]::SetCursorPosition(0, $CursorPosition) & $WriteMenu } } } finally { [System.Console]::CursorVisible = $true } if ($ReturnIndex -eq $false -and $null -ne $Position) { if ($MultiSelect) { Return $MenuItems[$CurrentSelection] } else { Return $MenuItems[$Position] } } else { if ($MultiSelect) { Return $CurrentSelection } else { Return $Position } } } |
