SAPIEN Forums

Hi, I've borrowed this powershell studio form code from the forum to run a background task then display the result in a textbox,
However the textbox flashes the result, I would like the result to remain until the next updated value is displayed,
Could someone please help?

Windows 10, Powershell studio 2018, v5.5.155

thanks

Change this line:
$textbox1.Text = $results

To this:
$textbox1.Text += $results

Thanks for the reply, but that ends up just adding to the last result, so i end up with "12345...." etc
I want to only see the current text result displayed until it's replaced by the new result, so "1" is displayed until it's replaced by "2" etc.

If the updates happen too fast then it will always look funny.

What is the purpose of just outputting numbers as fast as you can?

I actually just want to refresh once a minute, but need the last result to display until the next update, which currently isn’t happening, instead it’s flashing for a split second and is then empty u til the next flash update

The code I posted does exactly that you just need to set the timer to the value you want.

thanks, i found my mistake, i removed the if statement surrounding the textbox1.text = $results, which caused empty data to be displayed

thanks

That is not what is happening. The "if statement prevents a null value from being assigned to the text which was the initial issue with your code. Displaying once a second comes when the sleep is set to 60 seconds and not 1000 milliseconds.
