It sounds like what you’re looking for is the Windows Explorer … :man_shrugging:t3:

Since I did not really get what you’re looking for you should elaborate more detailed what you’re looking for.

You may search for “PowerShell File Open Dialog”

actually i was looking for powershell GUI that creating shell that could contains series of files inside the shell GUI, that i could use function to open the shell ,so i could choose it from the shell

$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

$form.Text = "My Form"

$guiObjects[0] =New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button

$guiObjects[0].text ="Object 0"

$form.Controls.Add($guiobject[0])

$guiObjects[1] =New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button

$guiObjects[1].text ="Object 1"

$form.Controls.Add($guiObjects[1])

$form.ShowDialog()

The Out-ConsoleGridView cmdlet from the [Microsoft.PowerShell.ConsoleGuiTools](https://github.com/PowerShell/ConsoleGuiTools) module will allow you to do what you want:

get-childitem -path "c:\" `
| out-consolegridview -OutputMode Multiple `
| ForEach-Object {
    start-process "Explorer.exe" -ArgumentList $_.fullname
}

By design the sample code provided previously will require that you update the path to your desired path before running the command. The following code will allow you to start with an initial path and you can traverse into child directories and launch files from console. Though, a little more work needs to be done if you want to traverse back up the tree.

function consoleFileOpener {
    param($path)
    get-childitem -path $path `
    | out-consolegridview -OutputMode Single `
    | ForEach-Object {
        if ($_.PSIsContainer) {
            consoleFileOpener -path $_.fullname
        } else {
            start-process $_.fullname
        }  
    }
}

$initialPath = "C:\"

consoleFileOpener -path $initialPath
