I am new to PowerShell can anyone please help how to achieve this.
I am trying to build a GUI Tool which does the below.
It should fit to the screen
I create a button and once I click on the button the resultant output which is in (.html) page should fit in the pane and should be reflecting in the right hand side pane in the same GUI Tool.
So far I have tried the below code.
#Create Form Object
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(400,300)
$Form.Text = "US ABC 3.0"
$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen" #loads the window in the center of the screen
#Link Label 1
$LinkLabel1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel
$LinkLabel1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(30,50)
$LinkLabel1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(300,30)
$LinkLabel1.LinkColor = "BLUE"
$LinkLabel1.ActiveLinkColor = "RED"
$Linklabel1.AutoSize= $true
$LinkLabel1.Text = "US ABC 3.0 AOReport"
$LinkLabel1.add_Click({[system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("C:\temp\DatabaseStatusReport.htm")})
$Form.Controls.Add($LinkLabel1)
$textLabel1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$TextLabel1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(30,90)
$TextLabel1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(200,10)
$Textlabel1.AutoSize= $true
$textLabel1.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font("TIMES NEW ROMAN",09,[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Bold)
$Form.Controls.Add($TextLabel1)
#Show Form
$Form.ShowDialog()
Please see output below:
I would like to get my out put as below :
I want to view the .htm or .html report output in right pane when I click the button (Lets say DatabaseReport)
Sorry if this isn't what you're looking for. You'll just want to play with the sizes:
#Create Form Object
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(700,400)
$Form.Text = "US ABC 3.0"
$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen" #loads the window in the center of the screen
#Link Label 1
$Button1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20)
$Button1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,30)
$Button1.AutoSize= $true
$Button1.Text = "US ABC 3.0 AOReport"
$Form.Controls.Add($Button1)
#Load Web Browser
$Button1.add_Click({
$webBrowser1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser
$webBrowser1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,60)
$webBrowser1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(650,300)
$webBrowser1.URL="C:\temp\DatabaseStatusReport.htm"
$Form.Controls.Add($webBrowser1) })
#Show Form
$Form.ShowDialog()

I want to be able to display the currently highlighted item from a scrolling list box, without having to click it.
I have set up the list box so that only one item is displayed. The selection changes via the scroll buttons. I want to be able to read the item displayed without having to click it - so .Add_Click is not suitable.
Example code below:
Many thanks
# Listbox test
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
# set up form
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "List Box Test"
$form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(500,200)
$form.StartPosition = "Manual"
$form.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10, 10)
# Set up list
$List1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$List1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10, 10)
$List1.Height = 30
$List1.Width = 150
$List1.font = 'arial, 16pt'
[void] $List1.Items.Add('Clubs')
[void] $List1.Items.Add('Diamonds')
[void] $List1.Items.Add('Hearts')
[void] $List1.Items.Add('Spades')
$form.Controls.Add($List1)
# Question: how do I get the highlighted item from the list box to show here, before it is clicked?
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# display selection
$TextBox1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$TextBox1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,50)
$TextBox1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(300,30)
$TextBox1.Font = 'arial, 12pt'
$TextBox1.text = "Highlighted item to show here ..."
$form.Controls.Add($TextBox1)
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# set up button
$Button1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,100)
$Button1.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(50,20)
$Button1.Text = "OK"
$Button1.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$form.Controls.Add($Button1)
$form.Topmost = $true
$null = $form.ShowDialog()
Just add a SelectedIndexChanged event handler to the listbox:
$List1.Add_SelectedIndexChanged({
$TextBox1.Text = $this.SelectedItem.ToString() # or do: $this.items[$this.SelectedIndex].ToString()
})
Since a Listbox only contains text, you could leave out the .ToString().
P.S. Don't forget to remove the form from memory when all done with
$form.Dispose()
I'm very rusty in the area of powershell and trying to pick it back up but I have something bothering me that I can't seem to figure out. I've created a form that has two text inputs for file locations and a drop down list. What I'm attempting to do is compare the two files received in a text input. I've got the script already for the compare but what I'm trying to figure out is how I distinguish the script to be run from the selection of the drop down list and also parse the two text inputs from the form to the relevant compare script. Below is the generic form created. Any help would be much appreciated.

Create a function that will run whenever the button is clicked.
for instance, your button event will be:
$Okbutton.Add_Click({ BtnClick })
then add the function that will do the compare, whenever the button is clicked the function will be called:
function BtnClick{
# do something / compare your texts
#compare $TextBox1.Text $TextBox2.Text
}
you have to give a different variable name for each textbox, this how you'll be able to access the values:
$input1 = $TextBox1.Text
$input2 = $TextBox2.Text
$input3 = $ComboBox1.Text
The easiest way to have your code distinguish between the different objects is to name them upon creation, so use different variable names for the textboxes and the like.
To act on the button click, you already started by writing $Okbutton.Add_Click(), but since there is no scriptblock to actually do something there, nothing would happen.
The listbox can also react on an event, in this case that would be the SelectedIndexChanged event.
Please see the revised code below that shows how to implement these event handlers

P.S. Inside the scriptblocks for the Click and the SelectedIndexChanged events, you can use automatic variable $this, which refers to the current form control object.
I would like to create a group box in my GUI form. I use windowsState maximized for my form. And I want to use the group box, and I need to make the group box also maximized but combine with margin and padding. So the size and position of the group box will not change even the resolution screen change.
I tried this, but it does not work.
Anyone can help me. Thank you.

So I create a window with buttons, but I want to nest a shell inside the window for some of the functions, rather than open a new window.

You would want to enable 'Multiline' property or something similar on the text box.
Assuming the Handle of the textbox is $textbox1, and you have the data to be displayed stored in a $output variable, display the output like
$textbox1.Text = $output
Evening everyone,
I've spent a while having a play on google learning how to create a basic form with powershell. Currently I'm having a problem coming to grips with how to get this basic form to output to a html file at the click of a button I have managed to get it to work with the services ie -
Get-Service | ConvertTo-Html | Out-File "Location"
However i'm wanting to input data on my form and then once the submit button is pressed, it puts the data into a table and then outputs it to the html file.

The documentation invoke-item section is another problem altogether but I beleive I have found a solution to that one. Unless someone has a simple method. Apologise if this is just trivial nonsense but I'm learning from playing with things. Any suggestions on good authors would be greatly appreciated, or even tips on how to improve this in general.
Thanks Mike.
