Powershell: $host.ui.PromptForChoic

$host.ui.PromptForChoic

PromptForChoice method (which belongs to the UI property of the $host object). When we call PromptForChoice we need to pass four parameters, in order:

• $title, the title of our menu.
• $message, the message displayed to the user.
• $options, the menu options.

$title = "Delete Files"
$message = "Do you want to delete the remaining files in the folder?"

$yes = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&Yes", `
    "Deletes all the files in the folder."

$no = New-Object System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription "&No", `
    "Retains all the files in the folder."

$options = [System.Management.Automation.Host.ChoiceDescription[]]($yes, $no)

$result = $host.ui.PromptForChoice($title, $message, $options, 0)

switch ($result)
    {
        0 {"You selected Yes."}
        1 {"You selected No."}
    }
