Multi Forms Passing data bidirectional

[CKMHC-it]

I am trying to pass data from parent to child and child to parent.
I see how to get data from text boxes
how do I pass variables, arrays, datasets...

Thank you for any help you can provide.
Chris

This is on may Main form, but $MainForm_BiDerData always stays Tom in the main form even when I set it to Chris on the ChildFor
I am not sure what I am missing but it acts like a constant on the main form

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)

1. $MainForm_Load= {
2.     #TODO: Initialize Form Controls here
3.    
4. }
5. $button1_Click= {
6.     #TODO: Place custom script here
7.     $script:MainForm_BiDerData = "Tom"
8.    
9.         if ((Show-ChildFor_psf) -eq 'OK')
10.     {
11.         $textbox1.Text = $MainForm_BiDerData #This stays set to Tom even though it is set to Chris in the Childfor
12.     }
13. }
14.  
15. $ChildForm_Load={
16.     #TODO: Initialize Form Controls here
17.  
18.    
19. }
20.  
21. $button1_Click={
22.     #TODO: Place custom script here
23.     $MainForm_BiDerData
24.     $MainForm_BiDerData = "Chris"
25.    
26.     $ChildForm.DialogResult = 'OK' #When I get here $MainForm_BiDerData shows Chris
27.     $ChildForm.Hide()
28.  
29. }

Since you are initially declaring the variable in the MainForm, its best to use the $script: scope when you reference/change that variable. This would mean updating the variable in the child form to the $script: scope.
