Question

So I’m trying to create a custom Datagridview to put into a GUI program I’ve made but I’m having some trouble.

So far I have this:

$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(900,600)
$dataGridView = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView
$dataGridView.Size=New-Object System.Drawing.Size(800,400)

$form.Controls.Add($dataGridView)
$dataGridView.ColumnCount = 4
$dataGridView.ColumnHeadersVisible = $true
$dataGridView.Columns[0].Name = "Process"
$dataGridView.Columns[1].Name = "ID"
$dataGridView.Columns[2].Name = "Description"
$dataGridView.Columns[3].Name = "Memory"

$row1 = get-process -property name | select Name

$rows = @($row1)
foreach ($row in $rows)
{    
$dataGridView.Rows.Add($row.name)}
$form.ShowDialog()

My question is this:

How do I go about assigning different columns to differnt properties, so column ‘process’ would be for the procress name, column ‘id’ would be for the process id and so on.

so far, all I’ve managed to do is to assign one column a input range: Process Name.

Please help!

Thanks

Loop on all processes, and add each process properties in the order you have defined the columns:

get-process | foreach{
    $dataGridView.Rows.Add($_.Name,$_.ID,$_.Description,$_.WorkingSet)
}

You could also generate the columns dynamically by selecting the properties you want to display, each property becomes a column name, and use the grid’s DataSource property and an Array list to add the objects to the grid:

$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(900,600)

$gps = get-process | select Name,ID,Description,@{n='Memory';e={$_.WorkingSet}}
$list = New-Object System.collections.ArrayList
$list.AddRange($gps)

$dataGridView = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView -Property @{
    Size=New-Object System.Drawing.Size(800,400)
    ColumnHeadersVisible = $true
    DataSource = $list
}

$form.Controls.Add($dataGridView)
$form.ShowDialog()
