Dropdown selection in powershell script - powershell

I created a script for ping the some IP Address. So I am trying to drop down selection. But in the dropdown selection text file input data is showing. But I cannot get the selected value in drop down selection.
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
$Form1 = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form1.ClientSize = ‘600,450’
$Form1.text = “PowerShell GUI Example”
$Form1.BackColor = “#ffffff”
$List = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$List.text = “”
$List.width = 170
$List.autosize = $true
# Add the items in the dropdown list
[array]$result = (Get-Content E:\IP.txt)
$result | ForEach-Object {[void] $List.Items.Add($_)}
# Select the default value
$List.SelectedIndex = 0
$List.location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(70,100)
$List.Font = ‘Microsoft Sans Serif,10’
$List.add_SelectedIndexChanged({
$selected = $List.SelectedItem
write-host $selected
#$Description.text = “Selected index: $selected”
})
$Form1.Controls.Add($List)

}
# Display the form

Don’t display Cancel in PowerShell script result

I have the following PowerShell script which displays file dialog to select a txt file. If user cancels dialog then provide a multiline text box
function GetDetails() {
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms;
$browser = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog;
$browser.Filter = "txt (*.txt)|*.txt";
$browser.InitialDirectory = "E:\";
$browser.Title = "select txt file";
$browserResult = $browser.ShowDialog();
if($browserResult -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) {
$nfoFile = $browser.FileName;
if([string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($txtFile)) {
return GetFromForm;
}
$txtFile = [System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($nfoFile, ".dac");
$txtFile = $temp + [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($txtFile);
$exeArgs = "-f -S `"$txtFile`" -O `"$txtFile`"";
Start-Process $anExe -ArgumentList $exeArgs -Wait;
$result = Get-Content $txtFile | Out-String;
$browser.Dispose();
return $result;
} else {
return GetFromForm;
}
}
function GetFromForm(){
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms;
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form;
$form.Width = 800;
$form.Height = 600;
$txtBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox;
$txtBox.Multiline = $true;
$txtBox.AcceptsReturn = $true;
$txtBox.AcceptsTab = $true;
$txtBox.Visible = $true;
$txtBox.Name = "txtName";
$txtBox.Width = 760;
$txtBox.Height = 660;
$form.Controls.Add($txtBox);
$form.ShowDialog();
 
$form.Dispose();
return $txtBox.Text;
}
$desc = GetDetails;
cls;
Write-Host $desc;
Here I have two issues:
In Write-Host $desc, prints also Cancel hereiswhateverstrimg string if user chose to cancel dialog. How to avoid that?
If I run script in ISE, the generated form (in second function) will be always behind ISE even I call ShowDialog(), I expected to behave as modal dialog. It’s normal or there is a fix for this ?
Ok, there are a few changes that I made for efficiency and a few for functionality. Read the comments in the script for the explanations.
# Just add types once. There is no need to add the types in each function.

Start-Process $anExe -ArgumentList $exeArgs -Wait;
# The Raw flag should return a string
$result = Get-Content $txtFile -Raw;
$browser.Dispose();
return $result;
}
# No need for else since the if statement returns
return GetFromForm;
}
function GetFromForm(){

$form.AcceptButton = $OKButton
$form.Controls.Add($OKButton)
$txtBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox;
$txtBox.Multiline = $true;

$txtBox.Visible = $true;
$txtBox.Name = "txtName";
$txtBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(660,500)
$form.Controls.Add($txtBox);
# Needed to force it to show on top
$form.TopMost = $true
# Select the textbox and activate the form to make it show with focus
$form.Add_Shown({$txtBox.Select(), $form.Activate()})
# Finally show the form and assign the ShowDialog method to a variable (this keeps it from printing out Cancel)
$result = $form.ShowDialog();
# If the user hit the OK button return the text in the textbox
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK)
{
return $txtBox.Text
}
}
$desc = GetDetails;
cls;
Write-Host $desc;
You can see reference material here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/creating-a-custom-input-box?view=powershell-6
You need to suppress output of $form.ShowDialog() in GetFromForm:
$form.ShowDialog()|out-null
Powershell will add to a return value everything that was outputted to host within a function/commandlet.
Regarding your second issue - see this answer
And please do not use semi-colon at an end of line. This is not C# and will confuse you into thinking that the line is ended here but it's not quite true.

Password Generator - Generate password on demand

I have been working on a scrip that generates a password with specific characters with a specific length, but with random numbers at a specific length.
The script has an GUI (it's a work in progress, I will finish it eventually).
The issue that I'm facing, is that, whenever I press "Generate Password", it creates a password, but it does not give me a new one after generating it. It just gives the same password that it generates it the first time.
I was looking on the web on how to retrieve a new password each time the button is pressed, but I did not found anything.
Can someone help with some tips?
Thank you.
The script is:
Function Button_Click()
{
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($DefinedLetters)
}
Function Generate-Form {
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
# Build Form
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.Text = "Password Generator"
$Form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,200)
$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$Form.Topmost = $True
# Add Button
$Button = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(35,35)
$Button.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(120,23)
$Button.Text = "Generate Password"
$Form.Controls.Add($Button)
#Add Button event
$Button.Add_Click({Button_Click})
#Show the Form
$form.ShowDialog()| Out-Null
} #End Function
# Password generator #
Function DefinedLetters
{
$DefinedLetters = 'Summer'
$numbers = 0..5
$array = #()
$array += $DefinedLetters.Split(',') | Get-Random -Count 4
$DefinedLetters += $numbers | Get-Random -Count 4
($DefinedLetters | Get-Random -Count $DefinedLetters.Count) -join ""
}
#Call the Function
Generate-Form
This isn't a great method of generating passwords, but here is a version of your code that produces a 'random' password each time using 4 letters from 'summer' and 4 numbers from (0,1,2,3,4,5):
# Password generator #
Function DefinedLetters {
$DefinedLetters = 'Summer'
$numbers = 0..5
$array = #()
$array += $DefinedLetters.ToCharArray() | Get-Random -Count 4
$array += $numbers | Get-Random -Count 4
($array | Get-Random -Count $array.Count) -join ""
}
Function Button_Click() {
$DefinedLetters = DefinedLetters
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($DefinedLetters)
}
Function Generate-Form {
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
# Build Form
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.Text = "Password Generator"
$Form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,200)
$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$Form.Topmost = $True
# Add Button
$Button = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(35,35)
$Button.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(120,23)
$Button.Text = "Generate Password"
$Form.Controls.Add($Button)
#Add Button event
$Button.Add_Click({Button_Click})
#Show the Form
$form.ShowDialog()| Out-Null
} #End Function
#Call the Function
Generate-Form
In Button_Click() you just refer to variable, which doesn't call function. You need to assign the value form function to variable like:
Function Button_Click()
{
$PW = DefinedLetters
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($PW)
}
Your function DefinedLetters doesn't/can't work as you intended
You don't use the function but a variable to show.
Function Button_Click(){
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show((DefinedLetters))
}
Function Generate-Form {
#... snipped for brevity ...
}
Function DefinedLetters{
(([char[]]'Summer' | Get-Random -Count 4) -join '')+
((0..5| Get-Random -Count 4) -join '')
}
#Call the Function
Generate-Form

Powershell Not saving Value

I have a question about my code.
I realize a form in powershell and when i click on the button, The code add in the datagridview the variable $Test, if checkbox is checked and $test = YES. After the first action on the button, I change the variable $test to "NO".
But when I click again on the button, the variable $Test is again to "YES" ... and I don't understand why the variable is reset to YES and not saved with the new value "NO"
