<# .SYNOPSIS Use GridView or ConsoleGridView to provide a selection menu .DESCRIPTION Use a GridView or ConsoleGridView to provide a selection menu interface for selecting either single or multiple items. On Linux this will only invoke a ConsoleGridView. For Windows, it will default to a GridView unless -ForceConsole is used. .PARAMETER InputObject An array of objects. .PARAMETER Title Title to display on the gridview heading (caption). If not provided will display "Select Item" or "Select Items" .PARAMETER OutputMode Optional. Single (Default) or Multiple. .PARAMETER ForceConsole Optional. On Windows machines, forces ConsoleGridView .EXAMPLE Get-Process | Out-GridSelect .EXAMPLE Get-Process | Out-GridSelect -Title "Select Processes" -OutputMode Multiple .NOTES The Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools module is required on Linux, or when using -ForceConsole. I had some challenges with getting this function to accept pipeline input, mostly because I'm too stupid to figure it out and I need to cut down my coffee consumption. If you want to show me how to make that work please submit a pull request and I'll gladly plaster your name all over it for credit. .LINK https://github.com/Skatterbrainz/helium/blob/master/docs/Out-GridSelect.md #> function Out-GridSelect { param ( [parameter(Mandatory=$True)] $InputObject, [parameter(Mandatory=$False)][string] $Title, [parameter(Mandatory=$False)][string][ValidateSet('Single','Multiple')] $OutputMode = 'Single', [parameter(Mandatory=$False)][switch] $ForceConsole ) if (-not($PSBoundParameters.ContainsKey($Title))) { if ($OutputMode -eq 'Single') { $Title = "Select Item" } else { $Title = "Select Items" } } if ($IsLinux -eq $True) { if (Get-Module microsoft.powershell.consoleguitools -ListAvailable) { $InputObject | Out-ConsoleGridView -Title $Title -OutputMode $OutputMode } else { Write-Warning "Linux platforms require module: microsoft.powershell.consoleguitools" } } else { if ($ForceConsole.IsPresent -and (Get-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools -ListAvailable)) { $InputObject | Out-ConsoleGridView -Title $Title -OutputMode $OutputMode } else { $InputObject | Out-GridView -Title $Title -OutputMode $OutputMode } } } |
