Call-form.psf Not Functioning

[kingkale]

Hello,

Running Windows 10 Pro, PowerShell Studio 2018 64 bit v5.5.152.0

I am trying to pass a variable from MainForm1.psf form to formPing.psf. I created both forms from File>New Form.

In MainForm1.psf, I've entered the code:

if((Call-formPing_psf -HostList $HostList -OnlineHosts $OnlineHosts) -ne 'OK')
{
Write-Host Error Calling Child Form
}

Inside formPing.psf I define my parameters as follows:

param
(
[parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
[string]$HostList,
[parameter(Mandatory = $false)]
[string]$OnlineHosts
)

As I type "Call-formPing.psf" intellesense is not showing a drop down for suggestions and the text is grey, and listed as "unknown" when I hover over it.

When I run my script, the following error pops up in the console window:

ERROR: Call-formPing_psf : The term 'Call-formPing_psf' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of
ERROR: the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I have read through multiple forum posts and this is the way you're supposed to pass variables. So why doesn't "Call" seem to function? Also, if there is another way to pass variables, such as setting a variable as global, please let me know.

This: "Call-formPing_psf "

Should be this" "Show-formPing_psf "

Great, I'll try that.

I've been following this guide: https://www.sapien.com/blog/2013/10/01/ ... ing-forms/

I'm guessing this was an old guide?

It works! Thanks for your prompt reply.

The call was changed in the latest versions of PSS (2117).
