re: Use ShowUi to Easily Create Graphical Interfaces for PowerShell

Hey Klaus

Could you say a little more?

ShowUI ought to be slow only the first time you use it. It does some up front optimizations and should be faster on subsequent uses even after closing an opening the console, ISE etc.

Using the AsJob parameter will run a bit slower compared to using Show because it has more work to do to run it as a background job.

Thanks

Doug

Hello James,

a pretty good thing ... this ShowUI module!

And a good example of how to get into touch with it.

I'd really like to be able to create a simple GUI with Powershell in a couple of lines,

but it is a pity that the underlying WPF module is that slow!

In our company most coworkers have standard PCs with at most the cheapest 2 core CPUs

and it really is hard to wait 10 seconds before the UI shows up ... :-(

But nethertheless it is a good idea to stay in touch with WPF and ShowUI .... great work!

Klaus
