im trying to bring my powershell console to front, even if it is minimized. I found following code:
function Show-Process($Process, [Switch]$Maximize)
{
$sig = '
[DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);
[DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd);
'
if ($Maximize) { $Mode = 3 } else { $Mode = 4 }
$type = Add-Type -MemberDefinition $sig -Name WindowAPI -PassThru
$hwnd = $process.MainWindowHandle
$null = $type::ShowWindowAsync($hwnd, $Mode)
$null = $type::SetForegroundWindow($hwnd)
}
Show-Process -Process (Get-Process -Id $pid)
It works fine, but when i call the function from a Button Click event, the console wont show. What is the Problem? Is there a way to bring the powershell Console to front when using a WinForms GUI?
Here is the example GUI Code:
function Show-Process($Process, [Switch]$Maximize)
{
$sig = '
[DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern bool ShowWindowAsync(IntPtr hWnd, int nCmdShow);
[DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern int SetForegroundWindow(IntPtr hwnd);
'
if ($Maximize) { $Mode = 3 } else { $Mode = 4 }
$type = Add-Type -MemberDefinition $sig -Name WindowAPI -PassThru
$hwnd = $process.MainWindowHandle
$null = $type::ShowWindowAsync($hwnd, $Mode)
$null = $type::SetForegroundWindow($hwnd)
}
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.ClientSize = '446,266'
$Form.text = "Form"
$Form.TopMost = $false
$Button1 = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button1.text = "button"
$Button1.width = 60
$Button1.height = 30
$Button1.location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(75,29)
$Button1.Font = 'Microsoft Sans Serif,10'
$Button1.Add_Click({
Show-Process -Process (Get-Process -Id $pid)
})
$Form.controls.AddRange(@($Button1))
[void]$Form.ShowDialog()
