NAME Register-PSFCallback



SYNOPSIS

Registers a scriptblock to execute when a command calls Invoke-PSFCallback.





SYNTAX

Register-PSFCallback [-Name] <String> [-ModuleName] <String> [-CommandName] <String> [-ScriptBlock] <ScriptBlock>

[[-Scope] <String>] [-BreakAffinity] [<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

Registers a scriptblock to execute when a command calls Invoke-PSFCallback.

The basic concept of this feature is for a module to offer a registration point,

where foreign modules - even those unknown to the implementing module - can register

scriptblocks as delegates. These will then be executed in the implementing module's commands,

where those call Invoke-PSFCallback.



When designing a callback, keep in mind, that it will be executed on all applicable commmands.

A major aspect to consider here is the execution time, as this will get added on top of each applicable execution.





PARAMETERS

-Name <String>

Name of the callback.

Must be unique.



Required? true

Position? 1

Default value

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ModuleName <String>

The name of the module from which Invoke-PSFCallback is being called.



Required? true

Position? 2

Default value

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-CommandName <String>

Name of the command calling Invoke-PSFCallback.

Allows wildcard matching.



Required? true

Position? 3

Default value

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-ScriptBlock <ScriptBlock>

The scriptblock to execute as callback action.

This scriptblock will receive a single argument: A hashtable.

That hashtable will contain the following keys:

- Command: Name of the command calling Invoke-PSFCallback

- ModuleName: Name of the module the command calling Invoke-PSFCallback is part of.

- CallerFunction: Name of the command calling the command calling Invoke-PSFCallback

- CallerModule: Name of the module of the command calling the command calling Invoke-PSFCallback

- Data: Additional data specified by the command calling Invoke-PSFCallback



Required? true

Position? 4

Default value

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-Scope <String>

Whether the callback script is valid in this runspace only (default) or process-wide.



Required? false

Position? 5

Default value CurrentRunspace

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



-BreakAffinity [<SwitchParameter>]

By default, the callback scriptblock is being executed in the runspace that defined it.

Setting this parameter, the callback scriptblock is instead being executed in whatever

runspace it is being triggered from.



Required? false

Position? named

Default value False

Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)

Accept wildcard characters? false



<CommonParameters>

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,

ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,

OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

INPUTS



OUTPUTS



-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------



PS C:\\>Register-PSFCallback -Name 'MyModule.Configuration' -ModuleName 'DomainManagement' -CommandName '*'

-ScriptBlock $ScriptBlock



Defines a callback named 'MyModule.Configuration'.

This callback scriptblock will be triggered from all commands of the DomainManagement module,

however only from the current runspace.
