Introducing the AnyBox

v0.3.0

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

Added New-Prompt as an alias for New-AnyBoxPrompt. New parameters include:

-Tab: show prompts in a tab control view.
-Group: group prompts in a group box.
-FontSize, -FontFamily, -FontColor, -Alignment: allows the ability to have prompts of different sizes, colors, etc.
-ShowSetAs: controls how a set (specified by -ValidateSet is displayed). The default is a dropdown (combo) box, but users can specify 'Radio' or 'Radio_Wide'.
-RadioGroup: When -ShowSetAs is one of 'Radio' or 'Radio_Wide', each set of options in -ValidateSet is in one group. Use -RadioGroup to designate the group to which a set of radio buttons belongs.
-ShowSeparator: When specified, a horizontal line is shown beneath the prompt.
-Collapsible: When specified, the prompt is shown within a collapsible expander control.

New parameters for Show-AnyBox include:

-MaxHeight, -MaxWidth: used to control the maximum size of the window.
-CollapsibleGroups: if specified and prompt group(s) are specified, the groups are placed in a collapsible expander control, rather than a group box.
-AccentColor: controls the color of lines in group boxes, expander boxes, and separator lines.
-PrepScript: accepts a script block to run before the window is shown.

New function New-AnyBoxButton (alias New-Button) to wrap around the new object type AnyBox.Button. Parameters for this function include:

-Name: the unique key name for the button.
-Text: the text to display on the button. If -Name is not specified, the value for -Text serves as the key.
-IsCancel: designates the button to serve as the cancel button.
-IsDefault: designates the button to serve as the default button.
-OnClick: accepts a script block to run when the button is clicked.

Extended AnyBox.Prompt class to include Name property to use as an identifier in the output (defaults to "Input_#").
Added -Name parameter to the AnyBox.Prompt wrapper function New-AnyBoxPrompt.

New-AnyBoxPrompt function wrapper around the AnyBox.Prompt class. It includes a new parameter, -MessagePosition, which specifies whether to print the prompt message above or beside the input control (default='Top').
When -GridData is provided, DataGrid now fills all available space when window is resized.
-GridAsList parameter as a shortcut for ConvertTo-Long.
