How can I display information message-box on multiple lines?

I would like to be able to display information from comments in a message of several lines.  I managed to get all the information I need, but I can not format out on several lines. I tried vbNewLine in single quotes, but it still just displays vbNewLine in the box.

Here's what I have so far (stitched together from code others I found):

Function Show-Inputbox {
Param([string]$message=$(Throw "You must enter a prompt message"),
[string]$title="Input",
[string]$default
)

[http://reflection.assembly|http://reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.visualbasic") | Out-Null
[http://microsoft.visualbasic.interaction|http://microsoft.visualbasic.interaction]::InputBox($message,$title,$default)

}

$strVM = Show-Inputbox -message "What is the name if the machine?" -title "Guest Info" -default machine_name
$vm = Get-VM -Name $strVM

if ($vm.PowerState -eq "PoweredOn") {
$event = Get-VIEvent -Entity $vm | where-object {$_.fullFormattedMessage -like "Task: Power on Virtual Machine"}
$VM.Name
$VM.PowerState
(Get-VMGuest -VM $VM).IPAddress[0]
$event[0].username
}

$strMessageText = $VM.Name+$VM.PowerState+(Get-VMGuest -VM $VM).IPAddress[0]+$event[0].username

$a = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
$b = $a.popup($strMessageText,0,"Guest Info",1)

Does anyone have any ideas on how to do that? Or other ways to display information (in a non-effrayant way for users)?

In addition, no clue as to how to optimize the code of thise would be apppreciated, it takes time to run.

PowerShell is a line break ' (backtick + n) n.

You can do it like this

$strMessageText = $VM.Name + "`n" + $VM.PowerState + "`n" + (Get-VMGuest -VM $VM).IPAddress[0] + "`n" + $event[0].username

  • How can I add a Message box if the calculations do not match?

    I develop a form where the user entered a amount field Amt, then distributes that amount to up to six 'finance' fields (Budget1, Budget2, Budget3...), that determine the money will come from. I've created a field of verification screen only (AmtVerif) that allows the user to see if the divided funds add up to the total shown on Amt.

    I want to AmtVerif to:

    1 Add amounts in Budget 1-6 fields (that I managed to do by using FormCalc)

    2 match the total with the value given on Amt

    3 pop-up - a error message that says: 'You went out of the total', or 'Please check the assignment of funds' total case do not match.

    I tried to use 'if' with FormCalc expressions in post them and the events of output, and even if they appear to be correct, they do not show the error message. What I am doing wrong? Help, please!

    Please see the attached pdf file. script placed on each output field amount only when all the entries.

  • How can I display the printable two than non-printable ascii characters from a device and display it in a text box?

    Hello

    My send UUT to my computer via serial port of printable and non-printable ascii characters. The question is:

    (1) how to display all characters in a text box.

    (2) how can I display all these characters in hexadecimal format and display it in a text box?

    Thank you.

    Robert

    Text boxes can actually receive channels with printable and non-printable characters: nonprinting characters will be represented with a small square. For example, consider this code:

    tank has [512], msg [512];

    Create a string with embedded unprintable characters

    sprintf (one, "Hello: %c %c %c %c % c: World!", 1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

    Pass the string to the text box "such what."

    ResetTextBox (bH [1], b1_n, a);

    Format a hexadecimal representation of the string and add it to the text box

    FMT (msg, '\n%*d[zb1r16w2p0j1]', strlen (a), a);
    SetCtrlVal (Bosnia and Herzegovina [1], b1_n, msg);

    The result is as follows: the first line is the string passed "such what", what follows is the hexadecimal representation.

  • How can I display an error message on the listening port close popup without closing the popup.

    Hi Experts,

    JDeveloper 12.1.3.0.0

    How can I display an error message on the listening port close popup without closing the popup.

    Thank you

    Roy

    As its name suggests, close listener of popup is called when popup is closed so you can not do this.

    If you want to display the popup message, use your own buttons instead of the ok/cancel default buttons and close the popup programmatically.

  • How can I enter information in a box?

    How can I put information in a box in an Adobe form?

    As this has been posted in Acrobat.com services forum - what are you trying to fill the form?  Pat's comments apply to the use of Adobe Reader XI (which is free) on the desk to fill out the form.  Get.adobe.com/Reader/

    If the form input areas are not "to fill", you can't click to add text, you can try the "Completed and signed" application in the services of Acrobat.com http://cloud.acrobat.com/fillsign that allows you to complete and sign the majority of the forms if they have some boxes to fill or not.

    Thank you

  • I perform a search, results, find the message I was looking for. How can I find this message in my folder structure and subfolder (relatively) complex?

    Hello
    I use structured system subfolder to keep my organized emails (hundreds and hundreds of folders).
    When I do a search, get the list of results and in this list, I found the email I was after, HOW can I find the message? In other words, how can I open the folder that contains this particular email?
    Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

    Right click on a folder, search for Messages, and then click 'Search subfolders', then enter the selection criteria, search, search for a result in the lower pane, then 'open folder '. The message is opened in the Message pane and the containing folder is highlighted in the folders pane.

    It isn't a global search and location does not show the full folder path, but it is another option. Note that the location column can also be displayed in the message search window.

    How can I display the time of the data stored in a file using labview?

    Hi Matt,

    I think that we will need a little more information as to how you capture the data, what data you capture, etc.

    If you capture a waveform, is to extract the time data waveform which includes the t0 and dt values, so you can understand the time stamp of a specific data point as in the image below.

  • Lowered target Version 9.0 or later form and now the validation messages are appearing, even when the Show Messages dialog box is set to "do not display any message boxes at all."

    Hi all:

    I went a form target version of "10.0 and higher" to "9.0 or more ' and now I get messages from automatic validation of Adobe to appear, even when the Validation of the form of the document is set on"don't show all the message boxes at all."

    Any thoughts?  I have listed some other form to 9.0 and higher and the same setting form Validation works "do not want to display all message boxes".

    The only thing I can think is the decommissioning of 10.0 to 9.0 or more did something?

    Thanks in advance,

    Brian

    without knowing what the errors are, it is difficult to say what the problem is. Forms are usually not popups unless you use FormCalc. Then, the software is displayed a FormCalc error.
