How to output objects to various coordinates of a powershell console window at the same time?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I have been using powershell on a win 10 environment for a few months now, so still new to powershell and am trying use the powershell console as a technical point of display, whereby it cycles/loops through various components of data and displays the information at various coordinates of the console window. The problem I have is it can only display the data from any one particular loop at any one time. I suspect a type of multithreading is going to be needed like runspaces or psjobs, but I believe they are both background functions and cant display data in real-time, so not sure if the console even supports this kind of request.
Perhaps there is another way of going about this
I have tried putting all my scripts and get- command under one loop but it doesnt provide the "look" and feel we are trying to achieve. I want to be able to use the entire window as realestate for outputing objects. I have looked at psjobs and runspaces but they seem to work in the background.
So the code presented should output the get-service ojbects and the get-process objects to the coordinates specified at the same time.
function OBJ1{
[console]::setcursorposition(60,120)
Get-Process
]}
function OBJ2{
[console]::setcursorposition(10,70)
Get-Service
]}
Workflow obj3
{
Parallel
{
obj1
obj2
}
}
obj3
Instead the errors I get are:
<!-- language: lang-none -->
Microsoft.PowerShell.UtilityWrite-Error : Exception calling "SetCursorPosition" with "2" argument(s): "The handle is invalid.
