Powershell GUI tabbed layout script placement - powershell

I wrote six small gui scripts that I'd like to place in a single file, for the sake of converting said file into rxecutable with ps2exe.
I've found a script ,here on stack that is perfect for what I want. Unfortunatelly I cann't find any info on script placement within tabs and MS documentation leads me to ISE tabs, which is not helpfull.
Say I'd like to place this

within a tab. How to do it?

I think that it the
$Tab1.Controls.Add($button)
You are looking for.
For example

$ApplicationForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

$FormTabControl.Size = "755,475"
$FormTabControl.Location = "25,75"
$ApplicationForm.Controls.Add($FormTabControl)

I want to monitor the date and time of a file every 30 seconds

I want to monitor the date and time of a file. I wrote the code that do the job as I want but I can't reposition the gui window. I tried all I could find like "start-job" or create a new runspace but I don't get any results in richtextbox. Any suggestion is welcome.
$targetFile = "full path"
# Function - Add Text to RichTextBox
function Add-RichTextBox{
[CmdletBinding()]
param ($text)
#$richtextbox_output.Text += "`tCOMPUTERNAME: $ComputerName`n"
$richtext.Text += "$text"
$richtext.Text += "`n"
}
# Windows Form
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "Monitor script"
$form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(400,300)
$form.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'
$Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma",11)
$Form.Font = $Font
$label = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$label.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(20,40)
$label.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,20)
$label.Text = (Get-Date).ToString()
$form.Controls.Add($label)
$StartButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$StartButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(150,220)
$StartButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,33)
$StartButton.Text = 'Start'
#$StartButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$form.AcceptButton = $StartButton
$form.Controls.Add($StartButton)
$StartButton.Add_click({
while($true){
$lastdate = Get-ChildItem $targetFile
$Date = $lastdate.LastAccessTime.ToString()
Add-RichTextBox "$date"
$richtext.SelectionStart = $richtext.TextLength
$richText.ScrollToCaret()
#$richtext.refresh()
#$form.refresh()
Start-sleep 30
}
})
## the Rich text box
$richtext = new-object System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox
$richtext.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(20,60)
$richtext.multiline = $true
$richtext.Name = "Results"
$richtext.text = "Results:`n"
$richtext.scrollbars = "Both"
$richtext.Height = 120

$richtext.font = new-object system.drawing.font "Lucida Console",10
$Form.controls.add($richtext)

Continuing from my comment to use a Timer on your form (if you absolutely do not want a FileSystemWatcher), here's how you can do that:
$targetFile = "D:\Test\blah.txt"
$lastAccessed = (Get-Date) # a variable to keep track of the last LastAccessTime of the file
# Windows Form
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "Monitor script"
$form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(400,300)
$form.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'
$Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma",11)
$form.Font = $Font
# Label
$label = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$label.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(20,40)
$label.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,20)
$label.Text = (Get-Date).ToString()
$form.Controls.Add($label)
# Button
$StartButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$StartButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(150,200)
$StartButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,33)
$StartButton.Text = 'Start'
$form.Controls.Add($StartButton)
$StartButton.Add_click({
$timer.Enabled = $true
$timer.Start()
})
# RichTextBox
$richtext = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox
$richtext.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(20,60)
$richtext.Multiline = $true
$richtext.Name = "Results"
$richtext.Text = "Results:`r`n"
$richtext.ScrollBars = "Both"
$richtext.Height = 120
$richtext.Width = 350
$richtext.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font "Lucida Console",10
$form.Controls.Add($richtext)
# Timer
$timer = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Timer
$timer.Interval = 30000 # 30 seconds
$timer.Enabled = $false # disabled at first
$timer.Add_Tick({
$file = Get-Item -Path $targetFile -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
# if we can find the file and its last AccessedTime is not
# the same as we already stored in variable $lastAccessed
# use script-scoping here, so $script:lastAccessed instead of $lastAccessed
if ($file -and $file.LastAccessTime -gt $script:lastAccessed) {
$richtext.AppendText("$($file.LastAccessTime.ToString())`r`n")
$script:lastAccessed = $file.LastAccessTime # remember this new datetime
}
})
$form.ShowDialog()
# Important: Clean up

get acl from folders with file open dialog

I have built a little gui for getting the acl permissions for folders. with the path button i want to specify the folder path with a folder browser dialog and with the permissions button i want to get the acl. unfortunately the permissions button don't work because it can't get the folder path from the get-folder function. what's wrong with the function?

The reason for that mainly has to do with scoping, plus you should not write the function as $path = Function ... making it a call to the function.
Also, $Ordner += $Ordnername.SelectedPath is wrong, because you have never defined what $Ordner is in the function.
Below a rewrite of your code where I took the liberty to change some variable names to make them more self-explanatory:

POWERSHELL ISE Bulk/Batch select for encoding conversion (Get-Content & Set-Content)

POWERSHELL ISE
Hi, I'm trying to write a program that will grab all .txt files in an input path, change the encoding, and send the new .txt files to an output location.
I have it working based on single text boxes. I'm not exactly sure how to set it where it grabs all .txt files instead of one. (maybe an array?) And output with same file name in a new location.
My question is how can I write this to grab all .txt files and output them all to a new location instead of doing a single file at a time?

If you want the user to select multiple files, you could use an OpenFileDialog control to allow the user to select multiple input files, and then add them to a ListBox rather than a TextBox:
# Use a ListBox, since we're going to keep track of multiple strings
$InputFileBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$InputFileBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point -ArgumentList 10,10
$InputFileBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size -ArgumentList 265,240
$Form.Controls.Add($InputFileBox)
# Set up the "OpenFile" dialog, set the Multiselect property
$OpenFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$OpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = 'D:\test\forms'
$OpenFileDialog.Multiselect = $true
$OpenFileButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$OpenFileButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point -ArgumentList 220,265
$OpenFileButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size -ArgumentList 55,20
$OpenFileButton.Text = 'Browse!'
$OpenFileButton.add_Click({
if($OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog() -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK)
{
foreach($FileName in $OpenFileDialog.FileNames)
{
# only add files not already in the list
if(-not $InputFileBox.Items.Contains($FileName))
{
$InputFileBox.Items.Add($FileName)
}
}
}
})
$Form.Controls.Add($OpenFileButton)
You can then grab the files names either directly from the $OpenFileDialog.FileNames or from the ListBox if you want to allow the user to edit the list:
$FileNames = [string[]]$InputFileBox.Items
For the output directory, use a FolderBrowserDialog control:
# TextBox is fine here, but disable it so users can't type directly in it
$OutputFolderTextBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$OutputFolderTextBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point -ArgumentList 10,10
$OutputFolderTextBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size -ArgumentList 265,20
$OutputFolderTextBox.Enabled = $false
$OutputFolderTextBox.BackColor = [System.Drawing.Color]::White
$Form.Controls.Add($OutputFolderTextBox)
# set up FolderBrowserDialog control
$OutputFolderBrowserDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog
$OutputFolderBrowserDialog.RootFolder = [System.Environment+SpecialFolder]::MyComputer
$OutputFolderBrowseButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$OutputFolderBrowseButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point -ArgumentList 220,40
$OutputFolderBrowseButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size -ArgumentList 55,20
$OutputFolderBrowseButton.Text = 'Browse!'
$OutputFolderBrowseButton.add_Click({
if($OutputFolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog() -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK)
{
# grab the selected folder path
$OutputFolderTextBox.Text = $OutputFolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath
}
})
$Form.Controls.Add($OutputFolderBrowseButton)
