multiple text boxes and variables

Post by UCLALibrary »

I've created a new user form, and have text boxes for each bit of required information. Using the ise I was able to use read-host for all that, but in powershell studio 2015, I have the text boxes.

I would like to be able to take the information in all of my text boxes and set it as a global variable, then for some of the global variables (ex. first name and last name) combine that as a new global variable (ex. full name) display it in another text box.

Then I'm using all those variables to set the account properties and add a new user.

If I can get that part done, I think I'm set to finish the rest on my own.

Thanks,

David L.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm missing something. What am i missing in a simple form that has 3 text boxes and this as the code.

$form1_Load={
#TODO: Initialize Form Controls here

}




$textbox1_TextChanged={
#TODO: Place custom script here
$script:text1 = $textbox1.Text
}

$textbox2_TextChanged={
#TODO: Place custom script here
$script:text2 = $textbox2.Text
}



$textbox3_TextChanged={
#TODO: Place custom script here
$textbox3.Text = $script:text1 + $script:text2
}
