Creating Graphical Prompts Inside PowerShell

PromptMethod-Manual.ps1

This script holds an example function using what I call a "manual" method of creating a prompt, meaning more effort is put into creating help text and matching the color scheme of a regular PowerShell prompt.

PromptMethod-dotNET.ps1

This script holds an example function using .NET Framework classes in order to create a prompt. The code is much cleaner and automatically includes logic for displaying help text and matching color schemes.

PromptMethod-Graphical.ps1

This scripts holds an example function using .NET Framework classes to create a graphical prompt. The logic to create the prompt is located in the New-YesNoPrompt function, which is called by the Remove-MyItem function to prompt the user to remove the file or not.
