So I have my script that pulls information from my RDS servers, and shows it as a listbox onscreen. Kewl!
But ... (you knew there had to be one, right?) The script takes a while to construct that listbox (basically, I need to do query all the RDS servers for the list of running process for any of my published RemoteApps [6]), and doing all those "Get-WmiObject" calls takes a while). So what I want to do is display a message - "Hang on, it'll be done soon". But I want it to just display until the listbox is ready, then go away. I figure I would display that as soon as the script function to gather the information starts, and I want to clear it, as soon as I have enough information to fill the real listbox. Basically, an equivalent to the hourglass that is displayed when Windows is busy doing something ... And I don't know enough .Net to know how to do that ... Oh, I can find numerous examples of showing a MsgBox, but they all have a "OK" button that the user is supposed to press, to make it go away. And that's not what I want .. If someone could tell me exactly what sort of search terms I should be using, or a pointer to an example script that puts up a msgbox, and then removes the msgbox without user action, that would be ideal. Thanks. Sorry to keep asking so many questions.
