Powershell visual styles forms

Here is the SDK sample code converted to PoSH. I tested it and it works. The example is very subtle and once you enable styles they stay enabled until PowerShell is shut down. Maybe later I will add one of the more obvious controls so it willbe more obvious the visual styling has been loaded and ena...

A real reason to use RETURN

I read it a while ago. - I stick with my arguments. Quote Payette from p198 "Unfortuntely it can sometimes leas to confusion for new users and non-programmers..... Because of this potentiual...avoid using return staement." And don't get me started on "pure functions" because ther...

A real reason to use RETURN

In that case you are correct but they are still not "equivalent" They just behave similarly. I know this sounds like nit-picking but it has implecations for use of return in other areas. Most admin users are not formally trained inprogramming and don't understand the mechanisms at work. Th...

Interesting Error

I went back for a full ttest. A Unix compatible file with only newline characters between lines will cause that error with these two commands in PowerShell.

Powershell visual styles forms

Hi Alex I am not convinced that the calls to load teh control library in the Manifest will properly initiate teh forms clases. I think this only happens at startup/load and would not be applied to a non-visual program like PowerShell. Of course trying it is the only sure way to know this as I am onl...
