Install it in Cloud Shell and let us know what you think! LimitationsĬurrently, the module works only on macOS and Linux due to a known gui.cs issue on Windows. This is differentiating feature to other Out-GridViews.

In fact, the gif in this very blog post was recorded in Azure Cloud Shell! Since the Console GUIs (or CUIs) in show up in the same console you’re prompt is in, support for environments that don’t supply a GUI but have a terminal emulators, like Azure Cloud Shell, work out of the box. That will be available in the next version of gui.cs which will likely be the next version of ConsoleGuiTools Azure Cloud Shell support NOTE: At this time you can’t mark items in the grid view with mouse click.

ENTER: Choose an Action or answer a dialog.

Spacebar: marks one of the items in the grid view with an x if you used the PassThru parameter.

You can click on the actions menu, dialogs and grid view using your mouse. If you were so inclined the above script uses -PassThru to create a pretty effective emulation of a Process Manger. Get-Process | Out-GridView -PassThru | Stop-Process One of the most powerful features, the -PassThru parameter lets you use the GUI to select data to send further down the pipeline.

If you want to get this right now: Install-Module Features PassThru In that last gif, you might have also noticed that mouse clicks work in the Actions menu! Installation Oh yeah, it also supports -PassThru! Get-ChildItem | Out-ConsoleGridView -PassThru This module leverages the incredibly powerful and cross-platform gui.cs library by Miguel de Icaza. This shows up right in the same console window you were using without launching any outside process. Today, it contains one very important cmdlet: Out-ConsoleGridView. The is a module that will contain a set of cmdlets that enable console-based GUIs. Today, I have the exciting opportunity to talk about a new GridView. Community members have also implemented both cross-platform and native solutions for providing an Out-GridView functionality on macOS and Linux.We released the module which provided a cross-platform (Windows, macOS & Linux) Out-GridView cmdlet based on AvaloniaUI.PowerShell 7 ( which GA’d recently!) brought back the old WinForm-based Out-GridView from Windows PowerShell.Let’s recap where we’re at with respect to GridViews: Many PowerShell users like to use it within a pipeline for interactive selection of objects that get processed later in the pipeline. If you’re not familiar with Out-GridView, it can be used to interactively view objects as a table allowing sorting and filtering.

This is yet another post about GridViews.
