You can't with a MsgBox or a PopUp.
I would do it with a BalloonTip. This would make a good "PowerShell Quick
Script" article. Thanks for the idea.
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName(
'System.Windows.Forms' ) | Out-Null
$balloonTip = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon ## formal
name of a balloontrip is a "notifyIcon".
$balloonTip.Icon = [System.Drawing.SystemIcons]::Asterisk ## this is
the icon in the systray
$balloonTip.BalloonTipIcon = 'Info' ### Error, Info, None, Warning;
this is the icon in the balloon tip
$balloonTip.BalloonTipTitle = 'Please wait...' ### displayed in bold
$balloonTip.BalloonTipText = 'Building Listview...'
$balloonTip.Visible = $true
$balloonTip.ShowBalloonTip( 100000 ) ## in milliseconds, so this is
100 seconds
<<<go do stuff>>>
$balloonTip.Visible = $false
You can reuse the balloontip as many times as you want:
Update the title/text, set the Visible property back to true, and call
ShowBalloonTip() again.
When you are done with the variable, release it:
$balloonTip = $null
There are certainly other ways to do this, all of them will revolve around
using the Visible property on a form element.
Obligatory security comment: some people will tell you that using
LoadWithPartialName() is not secure, because the library is not strongly named
(no version number and no GUID). While strictly true, I consider the actual
risk miniscule.

Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] Powershell - how to display a msgbox with no buttons
Thanks. But no, I read it twice, and still don't see how I can display a msgbox
with no buttons. Nor how to remove the window when I need to.
I don't know what those constant values are for, or what they actually control.

Did you know you can also post and find answers on PowerShell in the forums?
