    GUI closing after script run

    Post by Tony67 »

    Hello all,

    I have a gui with a RUN button. Behind the button is the code

    $global:results = .\powershellscript.ps1
    $global:results | out-gridview

    The grid displays for about 2 seconds then it and the form closes and I have no idea why ?

    Thoughts ?

    Thanks

    Please refer to this article as to why the form might be closing:

    As for Out-GridView, you might want to use the -Wait parameter to hold the pipeline, otherwise the cmdlet will return immediately.
