You could launch your window using a runspace. [int]$Counter = 1 if($counter -lt 5000){ $counter++ Start-Sleep -Seconds 3 } $RunSpace = [RunSpaceFactory]::CreateRunSpace() #Create new runspace. $RunSpace.ApartmentState = 'STA' $RunSpace.ThreadOptions = 'UseNewThread' $RunSpace.Open() $Instance = [Po...

Re: Window not closing

While the resident bull was snarling and kicking up dust, I decided to make an example project of what I think the original question was asking. Brian I hope this example is something along the lines of what you were looking for. I will be washing my hands of this discussion now. More exactly - my ...

I'll be keeping this one for future use.
None necessary, this forum has been a great resource for me. I just like to return the favor if at all possible.

Re: Window not closing

This has nothing to do with Sapien. It is how Windows works. Sapien, PowerShell Studio, and PowerShell can only use what Microsoft has designed. Since the very beginning of Windows (1985) this was part of the design. There is no direct way around this. If you don't like it speak to the Microsoft en...

Re: Window not closing

[System.Windows.Forms.Form]::ActiveForm.Visible = $false In the button click event that calls your new form, place this after the call to the new form is made.

Just wanted to post back here on that "workaround" that I thought i had found. The example I posted will work great if a portion of your program needs to call upon a .dll file. But it is not a solution for a exe.config file as after further testing the Powershell Studio .exe still wants th...
