# A first release of my module for user-notifications via Growl For Windows … includes only Send-Growl — but has all the wiring up done so you can do custom notices, icons, etc. Initial post here and future posts here
#
## This is the first version of a Growl module (just dot-source to use in PowerShell 1.0)
## Initially it only supports a very simple notice, and I haven't gotten callbacks working yet
## Coming soon:
## * Send notices to other PCs directly
## * Wrap the registration of new messages
## * Figure out the stupid
## Change these to whatever you like, at least the first one, since it should point at a real ico file
$defaultIcon = "$PSScriptRoot\PowerGrowl.ico"
$appName = "PowerGrowler"
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("$(Split-Path (gp HKCU:\Software\Growl).'(default)')\Growl.Connector.dll") | Out-Null
if(!(Test-Path Variable:Script:PowerGrowler)) {
$script:GrowlApp = New-Object "Growl.Connector.Application" $appName
$script:PowerGrowler = New-Object "Growl.Connector.GrowlConnector"
$script:PowerGrowler.EncryptionAlgorithm = [Growl.Connector.Cryptography+SymmetricAlgorithmType]::AES
[Growl.Connector.NotificationType[]]$global:PowerGrowlerNotices = @("Default")
## You should change this
$global:PowerGrowlerNotices[0].Icon = $defaultIcon
}
## I was going to store these ON the PowerGrowler object, but ...
## I wanted to make the notices editable, without making it editable
## So instead, I add them to it only after you register them....
# Add-Member -InputObject $script:PowerGrowler -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Notices -Value $PowerGrowlerNotices
## Should only (have to) do this once.
$script:PowerGrowler.Register($script:GrowlApp, $global:PowerGrowlerNotices )
function Send-Growl {
#.Synopsis
# Send a growl notice
#.Description
# Send a growl notice with the scpecified values
#.Parameter Caption
# The short caption to display
#.Parameter Message
# The message to send (most displays will resize to accomodate)
#.Parameter NoticeType
# The type of notice to send. This MUST be the name of one of the registered types, and senders should bear in mind that each registered type has user-specified settings, so you should not abuse the types, but create your own for messages that will recur.
# For example, the user settings allow certain messages to be disabled, set to a different "Display", or to have their Duration and Stickyness changed, as well as have them be Forwarded to another device, have Sounds play, and set different priorities.
#.Parameter Icon
# Overrides the default icon of the message (accepts .ico, .png, .bmp, .jpg, .gif etc)
#.Parameter Priority
# Overrides the default priority of the message (use sparingly)
#.Example
# Send-Growl "Greetings" "Hello World!"
#
# The Hello World of Growl.
#.Example
# Send-Growl "You've got Mail!" "Message for you sir!" -icon ~\Icons\mail.png
#
# Displays a message with a couple of movie quotes and a mail icon.
