Create a Visual Progress bar for a function

bob500000 · June 4, 2018, 9:07am

I have a query regarding creating a progress bar, I have look at the simple examples but I wanted to go another step and make it more visual appealing, I have come up with the below, however it fails t=to update the progress bar, just leaving it blank. In the function Ex I have a variable that is called $y which updates everytime a process has completed in the function. Using the $y++ - this is then stored in a file called progress and is updated after each process so the file looks like;

1
2
3…

I want to take $y and to update the progress bar, however from what I can see it needs to run the function Ex before it tries to update the progress bar; but this fails also. I do have this working but it cycles through a get-childitem and not a function I have created myself.

I include a copy of my code for reference.
Add-Type -assembly System.Windows.Forms

## -- Create The Progress-Bar
$ObjForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$ObjForm.Text = "Finishing Process"
$ObjForm.Height = 100
$ObjForm.Width = 500
$ObjForm.BackColor = "White"

$ObjForm.FormBorderStyle = [System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle]::FixedSingle
$ObjForm.StartPosition = [System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition]::CenterScreen

## -- Create The Label
$ObjLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$ObjLabel.Text = "Starting. Please wait ... "
$ObjLabel.Left = 5
$ObjLabel.Top = 10
$ObjLabel.Width = 500 - 20
$ObjLabel.Height = 15
$ObjLabel.Font = "Tahoma"
## -- Add the label to the Form
$ObjForm.Controls.Add($ObjLabel)

$PB = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar
$PB.Name = "PowerShellProgressBar"
$PB.Value = 0
$PB.Style="Continuous"

$System_Drawing_Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size
$System_Drawing_Size.Width = 500 - 40
$System_Drawing_Size.Height = 20
$PB.Size = $System_Drawing_Size
$PB.Left = 5
$PB.Top = 40
$ObjForm.Controls.Add($PB)

## -- Show the Progress-Bar and Start The PowerShell Script
$ObjForm.Show() | Out-Null
$ObjForm.Focus() | Out-NUll
$ObjLabel.Text = "Starting. Please wait ... "
$ObjForm.Refresh()

Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
Out-Null
## -- Execute The PowerShell Code and Update the Status of the Progress-Bar
$Ex = Ex
$Ex
$Counter = 0
gc $Progress
ForEach ($Item in $Progress) {
    ## -- Calculate The Percentage Completed
    $Counter++
    [Int]$Percentage = ($Counter/$Progress.Count)*100
    $PB.Value = $Percentage
    $ObjLabel.Text = "Creating an Xlsx File Please wait"
    #$ObjLabel.Text = "Found $counter $Criteria in $Search"
    $ObjForm.Refresh()
    Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150
    # -- $Item.Name
    #"`t" + $Item.Path
    
}
$ObjForm.Close()

You need to provide more of your code.

What does the function EX do?
It’s not shown in your post, so trying to step into your code (visually or in an editor) is not possible, because…

Ex : The term 'Ex' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path 
is correct and try again.
At line:44 char:7
+ $Ex = Ex
+       ~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Ex:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
 
Get-Content : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null.
At line:47 char:4
+ gc $Progress
+    ~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (:) [Get-Content], ParameterBindingValidationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetContentCommand

There are also several spots in your post that are not really clear what they are or why they are there.
Like…

gc $Progress

What is Get-Content $Progress, as it’s not shown anywhere?
What’s in $Progress
BTW, that is also not the way to use Get-Content relative to variable content.

Based on your post, if you tried directly it would error out.

Get-Content : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is null. At line:48 char:4 + gc $Progress + ~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (:) [Get-Content], ParameterBindingValidationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ParameterArgumentValidationErrorNullNotAllowed,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetContentCommand

OK, so here is all of my code,

To break down, it is to replicate robocopy and copy files from one location to another, keeping the folder structure, it then creates an excel spreadsheet using data collected in text files, I have all of this working, however I am trying to get it to update the progress bar in real-time, Ex is creating the excel spreadsheet. The code is quite lengthy as a warning, and the EX part of if is segregated for ease of reading.

Function Size{
    $file = '{0}myTypes.ps1xml' -f ([System.IO.Path]::GetTempPath()) 
$data = Get-Content -Path $PSHOME\FileSystem.format.ps1xml
$data -replace 'Length', @'

if($$_ -is [System.IO.FileInfo]) {
    $this=$$_.Length; $sizes='Bytes,KB,MB,GB,TB,PB,EB,ZB' -split ','
    for($i=0; ($this -ge 1kb) -and ($i -lt $sizes.Count); $i++) {$this/=1kb}
    $N=2; if($i -eq 0) {$N=0}
    "{0:N$($N)} {1}" -f $this, $sizes[$i]
} else { $null }
