Hi,
I'm new to Powershell and so far its been geat..as long as i didn't stray
too far from .Net and WMI stuff.
Now i'm to the point where i'm looking at possibly converting some of the
specific use things I've done in C++ for Vista to use them in Powershell. I
did these things based upon the new API's present in Vista like here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776780.aspx
Yeah, I understand that API's aren't intended for direct admin interaction
whereas cmdlets are, but if its possible to access some of this stuff i'd
like to be able to do it. So I guess my question would be, how can i access
these Vista API's and use them in Powershell?
I've spent the last week browsing thru the various sites and blogs looking
for things that are helpful, found a lot of stuff that was "almost but not
really" things, and I have the concept of objects in Powershell down to a
pretty reliable and comfortable level for me at least but I always stall out
when trying to get to these API's, I know where i'm at, where i want to go,
but just a "can't get there from here" thing is stalling my progess.
Like for example, how would i access the Vista API IFileDialog interface and
its members..or...any of the new functions like PathCreateFromUrlAlloc,
Any examples or help would be great if anyone has any ideas on the subject.
Thanks
