    Hi,

    I'm trying to get the textbox to display the first line of the File, 

     

    However when I click each button the text file has “System.Management.Automation.PSVariable”



    Any Help?


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

function function-to-run{

$search = $This.text

$Email = Get-Variable -Name Email$search

$textUpdate.Text = $Email

}

 

$i=0

$files = (Get-ChildItem H:\People\*.txt).BaseName

foreach ($file in $files) {

 

    $b=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button

    $b.Name=$file

     $b.location="0,$(25*++$I)"

      $b.size='100,20'

     $b.Text="$file"

     $b.Tag=$file

     $b.add_click({  function-to-run })

Set-Variable -name Email$file -Value $file

    $form.controls.add($b)

}

$textUpdate = New-Object Windows.Forms.TextBox

$textUpdate.Location = New-Object Drawing.Point 0,0

$textUpdate.Size = New-Object Drawing.Point 250,30

$textUpdate.Text = ""

 

$form.controls.add($textUpdate)

$form.showdialog()

    Thank you!

    This:

    $textUpdate.Text = $Email

    Needs to be this:

    $textUpdate.Text = $Email.Value

    This would make more sense:

    $i=0
$files = (Get-ChildItem c:\temp\*.txt).BaseName

$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Size = '650,400'
$form.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'

$buttonClick = {
    $search = 'Email' + $this.Text
    $textUpdate.Text = Get-Variable -Name $search -ValueOnly
}
foreach ($file in $files) {
    $b = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
    $form.controls.add($b)
    $b.Name = $file
    Write-Host $file -fore green
    $b.location = "0,$( (25 * $i++) + 25 )"
    $b.size = '100,20'
    $b.Text = $file
    $b.Tag = $file
    $b.add_click($buttonClick)
    Set-Variable -name "Email$file" -Value $file
}
$textUpdate = New-Object Windows.Forms.TextBox
$textUpdate.Width = 200
$form.controls.add($textUpdate)

$form.showdialog()
    Using a FlowLayoutPanel would also simplify this.
