About box in GUI

[jimbobukii]

I am looking to have Menu Items within my PowerShell GUI but I am stuck with an about Dialog, could some one tell me how to call a dialog with all my details like version number etc?

Can you try to clarify your question. It does not make much sense.

Are you asking how to add a menu to a form?

FYI I moved the post to the PowerShell GUIs forum.

This really depends on the tool you are using. PowerShell Studio supports multi-form projects. It will involve more work if you use PrimalForms CE.
In either case I recommend looking at the Tic Tac Plebius game:

It has an about box.

David - I am guessing that the question is asking how to add the information to an about box.

Good call. I couldn't get that out of the question at first.

Thanks all,

I used the following....

PowerShell Code

Double-click the code block to select all.

$formNewApplicationName_Load={
	#TODO: Initialize Form Controls here
$authorVersion = '1.0'
$authorDate = 'March 2013'
$authorName = 'Jason Rose'
$authorEmail = 'jrose@yyyy.net.uk'
$authorWebsite = 'http://yyyyy.co.uk'
$authorDitty = "Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. 
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. 
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. 
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum."
$authorAppName = $formNewApplicationName.Text
}

$aboutToolStripMenuItem_Click={
	#TODO: Place custom script here
	[void][System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Version:`t$authorVersion ($authorDate)`nEmail:`t$authorEmail`nWebSite:`t$authorWebsite`n`n$authorDitty","About $authorAppName")

}

I was just about to suggest a message box if you only care about displaying text.
