I am trying to allow a user to multiselect from a list of results returned from a command, using Out-GridView
.
However, I seem to have to ask for the elements I need later on AND display them in the Out-GridView
. But it gets chaotic in there!
Can I show less of them in the Out-GridView
?
I have tried pulling in the command into another variable and then selecting the elements I want to show in the grid view, but that has the same result, or I am not doing it right.
For example:
$Global:delboxes = Get-Mailbox -SoftDeletedMailbox | Select-Object Name,Alias,PrimarySmtpAddress,WhenSoftDeleted,ArchiveName,guid,Emailaddresses | Sort-Object -property Name | Out-GridView -Title "Please select mailbox(es)" -PassThru
Returns:
PS> $delboxes | ft
Name Alias PrimarySmtpAddress WhenSoftDeleted ArchiveName Guid EmailAddresses
---- ----- ------------------ --------------- ----------- ---- --------------
person1 person.one person.one@mycompany.com 25/09/2016 20:53:56 {archive} d25cb74b-46cf-4582-9c32-6c146f59f013 {X500:/o=mycompany/ou=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)/cn=Recipients/...
person2 person.two person.two@mycompany.com 25/09/2016 20:53:56 {} 1670a21e-a00b-461e-ae84-2ff646e2a434 {SMTP:person.two@mycompany.com, smtp:person.2@mycompany, X500:/o=mycompany/ou=Exchan...
Although $delboxes will return everything I asked for in the Get-Mailbox | Select-Object part, there is too much to display on the screen when there are many EmailAddresses. So the Name and Alias get shrunk to a few characters
So I want just a few of the elements to show in the Out-GridView, but to be able to use them all later on in my script.
If I only put this in the script
$Global:delboxes = Get-Mailbox -SoftDeletedMailbox | Select-Object Name,Alias | Sort-Object -property Name | Out-GridView -Title "Please select mailbox(es)" -PassThru
I am unable to use the element ArchiveName without requerying the Get-Mailbox
command
PS> $delboxes | ft
Name Alias
---- -----
person1 person.one
person2 person.two
PS> $delboxes.ArchiveName | ft
There is nothing :-(
And using default display set gives me an unusable Out-GridView and not the elements I require either
$Global:delboxes = Get-Mailbox -SoftDeletedMailbox | Sort-Object -property WhenSoftDeleted | Out-GridView -Title "Please select mailbox(es)" -PassThru
PS> $delboxes | ft

To have the Out-Gridview with only reduced properties and nevertheless afterwards have access to all properties,
you might save the selection and use Compare-Object
with -IncludeEqual -ExcludeDifferent
## Q:\Test\2019\03\27\SO_55377562.ps1
$Global:delboxes = Get-Mailbox -SoftDeletedMailbox |
Select-Object Name,Alias,PrimarySmtpAddress,WhenSoftDeleted,ArchiveName,guid,Emailaddresses |
Sort-Object -Property Name
$Selection = $delboxes | Select-Object Name,Alias |
Out-GridView -Title "Please select mailbox(es)" -PassThru
$SelectedDelboxes = Compare-Object -Ref $delboxes -Diff $Selection -Property Name,Alias `
-IncludeEqual -ExcludeDifferent -PassThru |
Select-Object * -Exclude SideIndicator
