Forms in PowerShell: putting write-progress onto a pre-made form

Hello all,
What I'm wanting to do is use the "Write-Progress" cmdlet and put it onto a form that I've made, instead of having a separate dialogue box for it. Is this possible? Here is the (very simple) form:
[void][system.reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing")
[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
$objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$objForm.Text = "Test"
$objForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(700,300)
$objForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$Form = $objForm.ShowDialog()

What exactly are you trying to do? Write-Progress creates it's own form in the ISE, or just displays text based progress in the console, it doesn't have output that you can manipulate that I'm aware of.
If you want to create your own form for displaying progress, you most likely need to use this method:
http://learn-powershell.net/2012/10/14/powershell-and-wpf-writing-data-to-a-ui-from-a-different-runspace/
Because launching a form from Powershell otherwise runs in a single thread and as long as you're interacting with the form, the script won't be doing anything but waiting for input from the form.
I hope this post has helped!

I NEED A FORM THAT WILL PUT NAME IN ALPHABETIC ORDER. THIS FORM NEEDS TO HAVE COLUMNS WITH HEADERS.

I NEED A FORM THAT LISTS NAMES IN ALPHBETIC ORDER ON THE LEFT SIDE GOING DOWN. THIS FORM ALSO NEEDS COLUMNS THAT HAVE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION ON THE TOP OF THE COLUMNS.

Hi,
Is your question in the context of the responses that you collect (this is the View Responses tab) or the actual form that your end users will see?
In a nutshell, (1) a field in your form corresponds to a column in the responses table. (2) the caption text of the form field will be the column header (show up at the top of the column). (3) to list names in alphabetical in your form, you can use choices fields, like multiple choices field or drop down field - you will have to enter the name in alphabetical order manually.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Lucia

Permanent Font Color Within a pre-made form.

I have made a form in Pages and also imported a form from Windows. There are many different lines and I want to find a way to type in a different color (Blue) when I change lines without having to format it each and every time. Any ideas?

Hi scomer6
Welcome to the forum.
You could make some dummy text:
*Black text* (return)
Blue Text (return)
Format them both once the way you want them.
Select the text but not the return of each:
+Menu > Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text+
I recommend that you create a style for both sets of text so you can universally change them as necessary later.
Now copy both sets of text placeholders including both returns and paste as many times as you want down the page to make alternate colored text.
Now when you click on them each line of text (but not the return) will be selected and you just type or +Paste and Match Style+ the text for that line.

UPS won't deliver using pre-sign form

I put the properly filled out pre-sign form on my door this morning because my iPad was on the truck for delivery today. Luckily I was home when the driver came and knocked on the door.
He said that signatures are required for all Apple shipments and that I can't pre-sign for them. That means I have to take off work to wait for a shipment every time I buy something from the Apple store online?
It's deceptive for Apple to tell me that I can pre-sign and then it doesn't work. Somebody isn't telling me the truth.

The Help pages for the Apple Store say that pre-signing is available, though they also say that for safety and security reasons, all deliveries are subject to the driver's discretion, so your driver may be correct about the carrier policies. Call the carrier's customer service department and ask about their policies.
Personally I consider pre-signing for any shipment that's worth more than a small amount to be a foollsh risk. It's not at all uncommon for packages to go missing when just dropped at the front door - there have been more than a few posts in these forums complaining about missing deliveries - and if you pre-sign, neither the carrier nor Apple will take any responsibility for a missing package. If you can't be present at home to accept a shipment, I'd suggest either having it delivered to your place of business, to the home of a friend or relative who would be available to accept the shipment for you, or arrange to pick up the parcel from the carrier which you can usually do by calling the carrier after the first delivery attempt.
Regards.

Track Multiple Pre-Populated Forms?

I'll do my best to describe the situation, hopefully it is understandable. I have created a form using LiveCycle. This form is save-able in Acrobat. This form has been filled out and saved for many different people; so I have the same form for each person, but each form has unique data already entered in and saved in the form fields. My goal is to send out these different pre-populated forms using tracker, have people edit them as they need to, and then submit the edited forms back to me (via Outlook email). My ultimate goal is to have the info that tracker makes available (the automatic list of who received the forms, who has returned them, etc.) available at a glance, so that I can track these forms easily. Is this end result possible using pre-populated forms, or will I have to send each pre-populated form to the form recepient individually?

I am sorry to report that Formscentral doesn't integrate with any external database and doesn't support the pre-population of fields. You might try looking at Adobe's Livecycle product for your solution.

Forms in PowerShell: Update form based on script progress

Hello all,
For lack of a better post title, what I have is a simple script that loops through files in a directory and checks them for stuff. What I'd like to do is, while my script is checking the files, display a form with only one single-line field
in it, and that field updates with the current file variable the script is checking. This would kind of be like when you're installing a program, and in the installation window above the progress bar it has a single-line field where it lists
each file while it's currently installing. I'd like something similar, but I don't need the progress bar. I'd like to just have a single form and have only this single "file" field change, but I worry that I'll have to redisplay
the entire form in some kind of "loop" every time I want the field to change. I'd like to display the form once and only have the field change.
Has anyone ever made a form like this, or know of a way I can accomplish this?

[int]$PC=0 # Percent Counter
[int]$PCINC=100 / $Files.Count # Percent Increment Files.Count <= 100
ForEach ($File in $Files)
Write-Progress -Activity "Processing $File" `
-PercentComplete $PC -CurrentOperation "$PC% complete" `
-Status "Please wait."
#Some File Operation
$PC=$PC+$PCINC
Write-Progress "Done" "Done" -completed

Write-Progress in PowerShell script for installing Missing Updates

Hi, I had a previous question here
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/88931488-3b2c-4c08-9ad3-6651ba9bbcef/action?threadDisplayName=progress-indicator-for-installing-missing-sccm-2012-r2-updates
But that method is not working as expected. The progress bar displays then continues to increment past 100 throwing an error each time.
I'm thinking I could use a foreach loop for the missing updates but I'm just lost when it comes to Powershell syntax.
For example:
# Get the number of missing updates
[System.Management.ManagementObject[]] $CMMissingUpdates = @(GWMI -ComputerName $server -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate WHERE ComplianceState = '0'" -namespace "ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK") #End Get update count.
$result.UpdateCountBefore = "The number of missing updates is $($CMMissingUpdates.count)"
#Install missing updates.
#Begin example code, not tested.
Foreach ($update in $CMMissingUpdates)
$i++
If ($CMMissingUpdates.count) {
$CMInstallMissingUpdates = (GWMI -ComputerName $server -Namespace "root\ccm\clientsdk" -Class "CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager" -List).InstallUpdates($CMMissingUpdates)
Do {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
[array]$CMInstallPendingUpdates = @(GWMI -ComputerName $server -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate WHERE EvaluationState = 6 or EvaluationState = 7" -namespace "ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK")
#end my example code.
#The code below is working to install updates but Write-Progress isn't.
If ($CMMissingUpdates.count) {
#$result.UpdateCountBefore = "The number of missing updates is $($CMMissingUpdates.count)"
$CMInstallMissingUpdates = (GWMI -ComputerName $server -Namespace "root\ccm\clientsdk" -Class "CCM_SoftwareUpdatesManager" -List).InstallUpdates($CMMissingUpdates)
#Set the missing updates to variable for progress indicator.
$updates = $CMMissingUpdates.Count
$Increment = 100 / $updates
$Percent = 0
Do {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 15
[array]$CMInstallPendingUpdates = @(GWMI -ComputerName $server -query "SELECT * FROM CCM_SoftwareUpdate WHERE EvaluationState = 6 or EvaluationState = 7" -namespace "ROOT\ccm\ClientSDK")
#Not 100% sure $result.UpdateCountBefore is needed below.
$result.UpdateCountBefore = "The number of pending updates for installation is: $($CMInstallPendingUpdates.count)"
Write-Progress -Activity "Updates are installing..." -PercentComplete $Percent -Status "Working..."
$Percent = $Percent + $Increment
} While (($CMInstallPendingUpdates.count -ne 0) -and ((New-TimeSpan -Start $StartTime -End $(Get-Date)) -lt "00:45:00"))
Write-Progress -Activity "Updates Installed" -Status "Done" -Completed
} ELSE {
$result.UpdateCountAfter = "There are no missing updates."}
$result

The increment should be 100 / (max number of items)
That will not exceed 100 through (max number of items ) iterations in a loop
Mathematically that can be written as
100 / (Max Number of items) * (max number of items ) iterations in a loop
= 100 * ( (Max Number of Item) / (Number Iterations in a loop) )
= 100 * 1 = 100
The (max number of items) and (Number of Iterations in a loop ) need to be based on the same number.
In the script, it is not based on the same number.
The maximum number of items is $CMMissingUpdates.Count
The number of iterations in the loop is based on the condition
($CMInstallPendingUpdates.count -ne 0)
Which causes the iterations of the loop to exceed $CMMissingUpdates.Count
Assuming the $CMInstallPendingUpdates.count is going down (is decremented) through the loop, then
$Increment = 100 /
$CMInstallPendingUpdates.count

Putting CD files onto my windows

A few months ago, my iTunes library crashed and all my music went missing. I recovered nearly all of it (my dad did it somehow) but I'm still missing my CDs. I have most of them, some were borrowed from friends, but seeing as how I purchase most of my music in CD form and not by digital download, I'm lost. I can import the CD into iTunes, but the files are not on my hard drive. Is that supposed to be happening? Is there a way I can put the files onto my computer somehow?
thanks,
amylynne

Make sure you do all the steps of importing. Following is the article from iTunes Help.
*Importing songs from CDs*
You can import songs from your CDs into your iTunes library. Imported songs are stored on your hard disk so that you can listen to them without having the original CD in the disc drive.
To import songs from CDs into your iTunes library:
- Insert an audio CD into your computer's internal CD or DVD drive.
- When the list of songs appears in the iTunes window, deselect any songs you don't want to import.
- To add the selected songs to your library, click the Import CD button (at the bottom of the iTunes window).
To cancel importing, click the small X next to the progress bar at the top of the iTunes window.
When the songs are finished importing, click the Eject symbol to the right of the CD or click the Eject Disc button (shown below) in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window.

Write-Progress -Status span mulitple lines

Is it possible for Write-Progress -Status to span multiple lines? The status is showing the file being copied and to the location it is being copied to, which can get very long and runs off the console window. I have tried adding `r`n but that doesn't
work, so I am thinking it is a no, but figured I would ask.
If you find that my post has answered your question, please mark it as the answer. If you find my post to be helpful in anyway, please click vote as helpful.

The progress bar in Write-Progress is based on the width buffer size of the console window. If the width buffer is greater than the actual console window width, then it will spill off of the console.
There is no way to my knowledge to make this span multiple lines other than to write your own type of progress bar or to make a proxy function for Write-Progress.

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help!

I want to take the photos off my iPhone and put them directly onto an external hard disk - I don't have any room left on my computer. I want to bypass iPhoto altogether. When I link my iPhone to my computer, it only opens in iTunes, which only gives me the option to save my photos to iPhoto. Help! This is seriously frustrating!.
Additionally, I'd like to be able to take the 2000+ photos out of iPhoto and put them on a disk in a folder. I have managed to export them to the hard disk but it's just plonked all 2000+ photos in a list - not ideal if I want to use it for anything else. And then I have to manually delete the photos from iPhoto. Is there not a quick and easy way of dealing with this?
Anyone got any bright ideas? Thanks for your help!

I too would like to be able to do this. Just put them where i want the. IFTT a scripting app will put the images in dropbox for you , but its been pretty iffy.

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive; is it possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my mac?

I was going to install Rosetta Stone Spanish onto my Macbook 10.6.7 but am concerned about it taking up space on my 2GB hard-drive. I have an external WD hard-drive, and I was wondering if it is possible to put the application onto the external hard-drive to save space on my Mac?

I think you're confused about how much hard drive space you have. You probably have 2 GB of RAM... there hasn't been a Mac shipped with only a 2 GB hard drive in a while. At the bottom of any Finder window, how much space is available?
If you're actually running low on space, you should move documents to the external drive, since many applications want to be on the system drive.

How to put ituness movies onto separate hard drive?

I have just started to downloads films from the itunes store, however I don't want to clog up my Mac's hard drive. Is there any way to put the Movies onto an external hard drive? Please bear in mind I watch the films by streaming to Apple TV.

1. The data won't be erased unless a problem occurs.
2. The Time Machine backup should be on a different drive, as drives can fail.
