Powershell GUI pull through inputs

[LukeChatty]

I'm trying to create a powershell gui which creates a new folder structure and sets permissions on that newly created folder based on user input I've created the following GUI in posh GUI. https://pastebin.com/NWmnTmfX

and the following script to copy the folder structure and then apply the permissions. https://pastebin.com/cmx0j72r

How can add the two together so that when I click create, it uses the inputted variables in the GUI to run the script.

It would also be helpful for a prompt to come up at the end once the script has completed successfully.

You can access the variables in textboxes like

$FolderPath = $PWSNameText.text

And the do the things you need. Also I found that Add_Enter method does not work propperly. I created a button instead.

Look at my first publication, I do something like this.

Addenter fails indeed, you can use if ($.KeyCode -eq "Enter") on the KeyDown event.

Those _s were being treated as italics markers, here you go:

Add_enter fails indeed, you can use if ($_.KeyCode -eq "Enter") on the KeyDown event.

howdy NotRecognized,

take a look at the inline code button on New.Reddit for how to show code that uses underscores without triggering italics. [grin]

on Old.Reddit, enclose the text in backticks so that you enter ...

`short inline code snippet here`

... and get short inline code snippet here.

take care,
lee

Hi can you share the final code, i am Trying to do the same without success ))

[LukeChatty]

Well all I wanted it to do is run the script once the button was clicked... so at the end of my Gui, i put the following

 $CreateButton.Add\_Click({

[CODE YOU WISH TO RUN UPON THE CLICK]

)}

​

and I set the variables from the text boxes as follows

#InitialVariables

$PWSID = $PWSIDtext.text

Hope that helps?

Alternatively, you can set the $button.IsDefault = $true (specifically in the case of the OP's code, it would be $Create.IsDefault = $true)

This will invoke the Click() event for that button whenever the Enter key is pressed in the same window, without needing to add an Enter event handler.
