Hello,
I added a popup to allow a user to read a message before continuing.
The popup works fine in a powershell, but when I integrate it into the Psappdeploytoolkit, the size is no longer correct.
I don’t understand why, even trying to change it, it doesn’t change anything …
Version 3.7.0 and 3.8.4 tested, same behavior.
Do you have an idea ?
you might have to modify the code in AppDeployToolkitMain.ps1 to either make the dialog bigger or shrink the size of the fonts.
The easiest way to get around this problem is to reword your messages or break it up into 2 popups.
I can’t add another popup for this.
Do you know what i should modify in main.ps1 ?
I don’t find the good parameter i need to modify.
I can’t guess which function you are using to do the popup either.
Help me to help you.
Here the function to show the popup :
#regionCustomPopup
Function CustomPopup
{
[CmdletBinding()]
Param (
)
Begin {
## Get the name of this function and write header
[string]${CmdletName} = $PSCmdlet.MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name
Write-FunctionHeaderOrFooter -CmdletName ${CmdletName} -CmdletBoundParameters $PSBoundParameters -Header
}

CustomPopup
The custom popup does not look different with or without PSADT.
Try on another PC.
You are, however, using variables with the same name as PSADT: $InitialFormWindowState, $NotifyIcon, $panelButton to name a few. Maybe PSADT changes one or more of your variables.
OR PSADT sets global setting that breaks your popup. A debugger with a breakpoint set before your function end would give you the ability to see what your variables are set to before your function terminates.
Sorry I cannot help you more.
Why you don’t use the toolkit Show-DialogBox function?
Or you can even use Show-InstallationWelcome with a -CustomText parameter which can be added in the AppDeployToolkitConfig.xml file?
I tried to rename the variables, but it’s the same behavior.
I tried the psapp with the popup on different VM and 2 computers but it the same result each time.
I tried the show-dialogbox function but i need more customisation, that’s why i recreate one.
To add banner, and specific button (also red specific text for certain cases)
Try to reduce the size of your function to the smallest possible that still causes your problem.
This might help you to locate your issue.
Also try to run with and without PS editors. (disclaimer - I still use PowerGUI)
I tried, but it’s always the same results.
If i execute only the form directly from Powershell_ISE, i have the good size.
But if i run either the deploy-application.ps1 or the deploy-application.exe from powershell.exe or cmd.exe, i haven’t the good size at the start.
When the popup appears, i have a window, but if i click on “update now” button, the windows size’s change and become the size attended.
But if the user says “No”, he will revert to the old popup, so i want to fix it.
