Textbox Output

[craigjb]

Hi,

I am trying to display the output of my PowerShell function to a textbox. The desired output is "ctest". However, I receive the following

Code: Select all

C-System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: Test.Text

I'm trying to populate the output of the stored variable username in textbox3 via the below

Code: Select all

$textbox3.Text = "$($userName)"

Any help is very appreciated. Thank you

What you are saying tells me that "$username" is not a value but it is another textbox obect.
The correct way to assign a textbox from a variable is the following:

$textbox3.Text = $userName

What shows up depends on how you set $username,

Hi Jvierra,

$username contains the stored value of the output of my function. The value when using PowerShell_ISE is "CTest". However, when writing it to a textbox in PowerShell Studio it is C-System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: Test.Text. I'm trying to figure out how to display it correctly.

How can we know without knowing what your function is doing? Somewhere you are doing something wrong. Have you stepped through this in the debugger?

Here is an example of what you are doing and why?

I don't believe the function is the issue. There is no errors being thrown. Its clearly grabbing the correct data, but adding in the non-bold parts.
C-System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: Test.Text

This issue is very similar to the below. We just need to put this into a GUI to hand off.

We can also do this to show you what your are doing:

$textbox3.Text = $userName.Text

I can make that happen very easily:

See - same output you are getting.

Sorry but that has nothing to do with what you are seeing. It is a completely different issue.
