    Textbox Selected Item to String?

    Post by mwilliamsocc »

    I know I have done this plenty of times before but I cannot get it to work today.

    I have a textbox that I populate with items from Active Directory. I want the selected item to show up in another (single line) text box.

    I attempted something like the following:
    Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (Untitled.ps1)
    1.    
    2. $selectedGRP = $txtbGrpUsers.SelectedText
    3.     $StringText = $selectedGRP.ToString()
    4.     $textbox2.Text = $StringText
    But this does not work for me... Code complete doesnt even like "selectedtext" which is what I found when doing google searches searching for help on this. I know this is super rudimentary and apologize for bugging the collective with it.

    Thanks for your help!
