Textbox input as value

[rwlib3]

This may be a stupid question, but I'm unable to find an answer via search. I'm probably just missing a piece to this puzzle.

If I use a textbox for manual user input, can that input value be used as a variable in the cmdlet run on a button push?

For example: user enters a SAMACCOUNTNAME in textbox1 and clicks button1.

textbox1_TextChanged={
#TODO:
}

$button1_Click={
#TODO:
Get-mailbox -identity $textbox1_TextChanged.text
}

Thanks in advance for any assistance on my ignorance!

Double-click the code block to select all.

$button1_Click={
 #TODO:
 Get-mailbox -identity $textbox1.text
}

thank you! I knew I was just missing something. I was using the wrong variable.

You were very close.

Definitely check out the blog articles. They are very useful:

They are written by the developers of PowerShell Studio. They are very good. Even Microsoft has given them "kudos" for the tool and the info - maybe even CUDOS.
