Customizing Graphical PowerShell/ISE

18. December 2008 Andy Schneider Comments (1)

Graphical PowerShell, also known as the PowerShell Scripting Environment (ISE) can be customized using an object model.

There is a variable called $psISE in the ISE.

   1: PS >$psise | gm | select Name
   2:  
   3: Name                                                                           
   4: ----                                                                           
   5: Equals                                                                         
   6: GetHashCode                                                                    
   7: GetType                                                                        
   8: ToString                                                                       
   9: CurrentOpenedFile                                                              
  10: CurrentOpenedRunspace                                                          
  11: CustomMenu                                                                     
  12: OpenedRunspaces                                                                
  13: Options

In there we have options, customMenus, and a number of other cool things. Here we can change the Scripting Pane color to “black”

Thanks Andy.
This helped me to adjust my prompt function for ISE.
Now I'm guessing if there is a way to use $psise.CustomMenu to add CommentBlock and UnCommentBlock commands.
