I've just been testing my scripts against version 0.5.0. All was fine until I tested the one script I have which uses New-Object rather than Show-AnyBox followed by parameters. This script works fine with version 0.4.0 but with version 0.5.0 the Messages and Comments are missing.
I've enclosed a simplified version of the AnyBox code below:
Import-Module AnyBox
$AnyBox = New-Object AnyBox.AnyBox
$DevicesList = @('PC-ELAINE','PC-IAN','PC-RICHARD','PC-SAMANTHA')
$AnyBox.Prompts = @( New-AnyBoxPrompt -InputType Text -Message "What's the name of the target computer?" -ValidateSet $DevicesList -ShowSetAs Radio -ValidateScript { $_ -Ne '' } )
$AnyBox.Buttons = 'Continue','Cancel'
$AnyBox.CancelButton = 'Cancel'
$AnyBox.DefaultButton = 'Continue'
$AnyBox.Comment = "","Comment line.",""
$AnyBox.Message = "Message line 1.","Message line 2."
$AnyBoxResult = $AnyBox | Show-AnyBox
With version 0.4.0 the following window is displayed:
However, with exactly the same code in version 0.5.0 I get:
If I change the code as follows:
$DevicesList = @('PC-ELAINE','PC-IAN','PC-RICHARD','PC-SAMANTHA')
$Prompt = @( New-AnyBoxPrompt -InputType Text -Message "What's the name of the target computer?" -ValidateSet $DevicesList -ShowSetAs Radio -ValidateScript { $_ -Ne '' } )
$AnyBoxResult = Show-AnyBox -Buttons 'Continue','Cancel' -CancelButton 'Cancel' -DefaultButton 'Continue' -Comments "","Comment line.","" -Messages "Message line 1.","Message line 2." -Prompts $Prompt
I get the following window with version 0.5.0 (i.e. the same as the New-Object method with version 0.4.0):
Obviously this isn't a big deal since I can rewrite the code. However, there are times where the New-Object method is preferable - i.e. if you want different messages or comments depending on some variable.
Let me know if anything is unclear or you need more information.
Many thanks
