PSGUI v0.5 new Editor! Colors! and more!

Posted on by

Hey together,

i have very nice news for you!
I managed to exchange the integrated Text-editor of PSGUI with AvalonEdit.

Take a look at this fantastic new features:

  • CodeStyling
  • LineNumbers
  • Searching (Ctrl+F)
  • Better Jumping to the EventHandlers
  • Wrapping
  • Unlimited Undo and Redo
  • and more

Also i did lots of BugFixes, added some Examples and some new little functions – like the Button “Open in ISE”, which opens all 3 DialogFiles in the Powershell_ISE or the “Open”-Button for the Dialog-Folders and also some improvements in the dialogs for “New-Dialog” and “Rename-Dialog”.

A imporant hint here – to create new Dialogs or rename Dialogs you have to start the PSGUI-Manager with Admin-Rights. For example – out of a ISE / Powershell console, which has been opened with Admin rights. I will address this topic later on.

I personally think, that this was one of the most valuable changes in the last time. But keep tuned – lots of functions are still planned, before we get to version 1.0.

Things like:

  • Export/Import Dialogs
  • Creating GUI-Packages
  • more Assistance for GUI-Creators
  • more Examples to show more complicated stuff
  • and probably – Intellisense – but lets see

 

And last but not least:

Installation is now as easy as any possible – with PowershellGallery – described here.

 

Best regards,

David

Long time ago i started the project PSGUI, but i had not much time and power to create a stable version, because i had been working and training hard for Microsoft in the last months.

But – luckily i had again some time to get progress in this nice project and here is the next version!

HOWTO:

  • Download as Zip
  • Unblock in NTFS Properties

PSConfEU – Interviews – Material

Posted on by

Hi all,

some time passed since my last update, but now i am arriving with a whole bunch of demo scripts for everyone.

I have been at the PSConfEU and had two speaking slots there:

  • PS-Repo Server
  • Deep Dive XAML-GUIs in PS

My good friend Sebstian Klenk, Technical Evangelist Microsoft, did two interviews in german with me and summed everything up in his blog.

There you can get also the material of my sessions and more – i recommend the demo Scripts of the GUI Session-  but keep in mind that not all of the examples were written by me but i personally did not want to keep them out.
