Checking if a text box is empty

[the_ratzenator]

I would like to know how I can tell PowerShell Studio to be able to display a message if a text box is empty after the user presses on a Run button, or is there a way within the Designer to make values in a text box mandatory?

Thanks

Thank you for posting, the_ratzenator.

Did you remember to include the following?

• 1. Product, version and build (e.g. Product: PowerShell Studio 2014, Version & Build: 4.1.71. Version and build information can be found in the product's About box accessed by clicking the blue icon with the 'i' in the upper right hand corner of the ribbon.)
  2. Specify if you are running a 32 or 64 bit version
  3. Specify your operating system and if it is 32 or 64 bit.
  4. Attach a screenshot if your issue can be seen on the screen
  5. Attach a zip file if you have multiple files (crash reports, log entries, etc.) related to your issue.

If not, please take a moment to edit your original post or reply to this one.

I moved this post to the PowerShell GUI questions.

You can do a simple check in your button click event:

PowerShell Code

Double-click the code block to select all.

$button1_Click={
	#TODO: Place custom script here
	if ($textbox1.TextLength -eq 0)
	{
		$form1.DialogResult = 'None' #cancel close if button is using DialogResult
		return
	}
	
	
}#end button1_Click

Alternatively you can look at validation:
