Posts 6 		Hi ! I wonder if there is a way to show a gui loading screen in powershell while something is running in a script.


Best regards !

It's easier to print text out to the command line - maybe using something like this:

Hope this helps,

Posts 331 		If you really need a GUI, PowerShell might not be the best option as it's designed for automation from the command line. There are some free editions of visual studio if you don't have licenses for the full version:

It's also possible to run powershell scripts from .NET. There might be a steeper learning curve for a .NET language though depending on your programming experience and what you want to do with it.
