PowerShell - Parameter Value Tab Extension for Enum Types

Question

PowerShell - Parameter Value Tab Extension for Enum Types

Is it possible to implement parameter value tab extension for enum

parameter types?

Create a binary cmdlet with parameter definition:

[Parameter]
public SomeEnum Type {get;set;}

Is there a way to enter:

Add-MyThing -Type S<tab>

To obtain:

Add-MyThing -Type SomeEnumValue

Where:

public enum SomeEnum 
{
   SomeEnumValue,
   SomeEnumValue2
}

I know this is possible with function overrides TabExpansion

, but I was wondering if there is something I could do in my cmdlet to expose this type of functionality.

After examining the TabExpansion

default function , I think it can be said that this type of funcitonality does not exist by default in PowerShell. Capturing the advanced tab expansion feature is actually the way to go.

Parameter parsing and tab stops are handled by PowerShell. The only extension hook for tab completion is the TabExpansion function you mentioned.
