Has anybody created any type of libraries that I can use in my powershell scripts to provide the user with a selection menu, similar to the menu that comes up in powertab?  If you are unfamiliar with powertab, it draws a nice menu of choices to the powershell console screen using ascii characters.  The user can use the arrow keys to select an option and hit enter.

Thanks,

I haven't seen anything for a text-based menu, but I imagine you could pilfer some code from PowerTab if you wanted to. You could also do graphical stuff in Windows Forms easily enough - I did a chapter on it in PowerShell: TFM (2nd edition). A simple dialog with some buttons and keyboard accelerators is easy enough.

It is relatively easy to create a simple menu, and having the user enter a key or number to pick a choice. Now, doing like PowerTab would be cool in a sense. I'd try it but don't have the time... Maybe leave a comment on www.thepowershellguy.com. Maybe Marc will find this interesting and blog about it.
