Powershell Form Question - Not sure if this is possible, but.....

okay - building form object based on text file - want shring/grow # of text boxes based on how many items in text file.

 

can read in great, create textbox objects on form, etc. - loop in created creating them same object name (not taking $objname$variable uniqueness.....)

going out of skull trying find way name formobjects dynamically based on text file, that's still referencable via code. reading in text file $paramarray - thats working great. nice form, looks great - when attempt grab value, grabs last created textbox....

code creating form objects (labels , boxes):

$boxcount=20

 

foreach ($param in $paramarray) { $paramboxtitle = $param.split(",")

$objlabel = new-object system.windows.forms.label

$objlabel.location = new-object system.drawing.size(10,$boxcount)

$objlabel.size = new-object system.drawing.size(280,20) $objlabel.text = $paramboxtitle[0] $objform.controls.add($objlabel) $objtextbox= new-object system.windows.forms.textbox $objtextbox.location = new-object system.drawing.size(10,($boxcount+20)) $objtextbox.size = new-object system.drawing.size(260,20) $objtextbox.name=$iterator $objtextbox.text=$objtextbox.name $objform.controls.add($objtextbox)

$boxcount=$boxcount+40

 

$iterator=$iterator+1

 

any ideas? want portable in event want use form other applications. please let me know - suspect lot easier making it.

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i'm not sure understand problem. tested code , textbox names incrementally set value of $iterator (1, 2, 3) , textbox text property well. here code:

 

  $objform = new-object system.windows.forms.form    $paramarray = ("item1", "item2", "item3")  $iterator = 1  $boxcount=20     $clickhandler =   {    [windows.forms.messagebox]::show($this.name)  }    foreach ($param in $paramarray)   {     $paramboxtitle = $param.split(",")     $objlabel = new-object system.windows.forms.label    $objlabel.location = new-object system.drawing.size(10,$boxcount)     $objlabel.size = new-object system.drawing.size(280,20)     $objlabel.text = $paramboxtitle[0]     $objform.controls.add($objlabel)     $objtextbox= new-object system.windows.forms.textbox     $objtextbox.location = new-object system.drawing.size(10,($boxcount+20))     $objtextbox.size = new-object system.drawing.size(260,20)     $objtextbox.name=$iterator     $objtextbox.text=$objtextbox.name     $objform.controls.add($objtextbox)    $objtextbox.add_mouseclick($clickhandler)      $boxcount=$boxcount+40     $iterator=$iterator+1  }    $objform.showdialog()
