With a simple trick, you can add a dialog window that helps users to provide the function parameters for your function.
Simply use $PSBoundParameters to determine if a user submitted parameters. If not, run Show-Command and submit the name of your function, then return your function without doing anything.
Show-Command automatically takes care of the rest: it displays a dialog which prompts for all function parameters, and once the user clicks "Run", it runs the function with the submitted arguments.
function Show-PromptInfo { param ( [string] $Name, [int] $ID ) if ($PSBoundParameters.Count -eq 0) { Show-Command -Name Show-PromptInfo return } "Your name is $name, and the id is $id." }
When you run the function Show-PromptInfo with parameters, it immediately executes your call.
PS> Show-PromptInfo -Name weltner -ID 12 Your name is weltner, and the id is 12. PS> Show-PromptInfo <# Dialog opens, then runs the function with submitted parameters#>
When you run the function without any parameters, a dialog opens and prompts interactively for your parameters.
