Add Commands to WinForms - winforms

I got the following WinForm. How can I add commands to it?
The SamAccountName Field is for for the User/Group name. How do I catch this input?
The list shoud be a list with 2 entries:
user
group
This is the point where the user decides wether it's a group or a user and it would be awesome if I could somehow save that in a variable.
The search button should trigger the actual commands (a wildcard search for user or group).
$DataGridView1 should display the output of the executed commands.
The executed code would be: (User OR Groups is separated from the WinForms I'm not sure how to format it right)
User:
Get-ADUser -Filter "CN -like '*$find*' -or DisplayName -like '*$find*' -or Description -like '*$find*' -or DistinguishedName -like '*$find*' -or Mail -like '*$find*'" -Properties * |
Sort-Object |
Format-Table SamAccountName, DisplayName
Group:
Get-ADGroup -Filter "SamAccountName -like '*$find*'" -Properties * |
Sort-Object |
Format-Table SamAccountName, Description

Powershell GUI auto generate buttons with functions

TLDR:
How can I make a generated variable, and then call that variable later within a Add_click.
I am sure some kind of serialization of each Object/button I make is what is needed.
I am building a small tool that reads from a csv to create a button, and function.
the csv looks something like
Name Type Link Script
Powershell App C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe Empty
FixXYZ Fix Empty -ScriptStuffHere-
The tool will then make a button with the Name, (work in progress to filter apps and fixes), and when you click the button, if its an app will do start ($link) and if its a fix it will run that script.
My issue is I have it making the button and giving them names, and the name of the button stays, but the function does not.

I am very certain my issue is coming from
$_.Add_Click({Start (Get-Variable -Name "var$ObjectNumber" -ValueOnly).Link})
I know the issue is with $ObjectNumber because that number is getting +1 each time the ForEach is gone through, so when I click a button, its taking "var$OjbectNumber" as its Last number. Clicking the button works, but all buttons open the last entries link.
The answer was using a unused property to throw my desired call back variable in.
So in this case, i have a folder with with programs, the button will be made, and set the $Button.Text (its name) as the name of the .exe, and then it sets the $Button.Tag as the file path, so when I go do the button.Add_Click , I just call the Button.Tag as it will have the path of my Exe.

Here is an example I gave as an answer to another post to dynamically create UX/UI elements and assign a form event, though not using an external file, it's the same concept.
How to create multiple button with PowerShell?
Add tooltip and form event, like so...
$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.ClientSize = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(381,316)
$Form.text = "Auto Button UI"
$Form.TopMost = $false
$Form.BackColor = [System.Drawing.ColorTranslator]::FromHtml("#c9f6fe")
$i = 0
Get-Variable -Name 'Button*' |
Remove-Variable
$objTooltip = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ToolTip
$objTooltip.InitialDelay = 100
1..3 |
foreach{
$CurrentButton = $null
$CurrentButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$CurrentButton.Location = "$(50+100*$i), 275"
$CurrentButton.Text = $PSItem
$CurrentButton.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font('Microsoft Sans Serif',10)
New-Variable "Button$PSitem" $CurrentButton
$objTooltip.SetToolTip(
$CurrentButton,
"Execute action assigned to $($CurrentButton.Text)"
)
$CurrentButton.add_click(
{
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::
Show(
"$($CurrentButton.Text)", $($CurrentButton.Text), [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::
OKCancel, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Information
)
})
$i++
$form.Controls.Add($CurrentButton)
}
[void]$Form.ShowDialog()
Yet, though it adds the event to each button element, the message text is the last one passed. Unless explicitly called as in the example from the link.
To adapt the second example in the answer already provided here so that the message text is not just the last one passed, you can change the reference within the event to the instance this.text rather than the iteratively updated $CurrentButton.text
$CurrentButton.add_click(
{
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::
Show(
"$($this.Text)", $($this.Text), [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::
OKCancel, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Information
)
})

How to close form GUI after checking existing file in PowerShell?

I want to check an existing file, if the process still waiting for the file, it will display a GUI window. After the file is exist, the window will close automatically.
I tried this code, the window can not close, even the file already exist.
Checking the file:
$SN = "708TSTA"
$MAC = "2E5961370"
function Find {
$n = 0
while (-not (Get-ChildItem -Name "D:\SERVER\" | Where-Object {$_ -like "*$SN-$MAC*"})) {
Start-Sleep -s 1
D:\Auto\GUI.ps1
$n++
(Get-ChildItem -Name "D:\SERVER\" | Where-Object {$_ -like "*$SN-$MAC*"})
Write-Host "Attempt no $n"
}
Write-Host ">>Flag found after $n attempts"
return $true
}
if (Find) {
Write-Host "Found"
}
GUI.ps1:
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.ClientSize = '578,400'
$Form.Text = "Form"
$Form.BackColor = "#c1daf7"
$Form.WindowState = 'Maximized'
$Form.FormBorderStyle = "FixedDialog"
$Label1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$Label1.Text = "UNDER PROCESS"
$Label1.AutoSize = $true
$Label1.Width = 25
$Label1.Height = 10
$Label1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(600,300)
$Label1.Font = 'Microsoft Sans Serif,30,style=Bold,Underline'
$Label1.ForeColor = "#d0021b"
$Label2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$Label2.Text = "WAITING"
$Label2.AutoSize = $true
$Label2.Width = 25
$Label2.Height = 10
$Label2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(770,500)
$Label2.Font = 'Microsoft Sans Serif,20,style=Bold'
$Label2.ForeColor = "#fb0505"
$Check = Get-ChildItem -Name "D:\SERVER\" | Where-Object {$_ -like "*$SN-$MAC*"}
if($Check) {
Write-Host "File Exist"
$Form.Close()
}
$Form.Controls.AddRange(#($Label1,$Label2))
[void]$Form.ShowDialog()
Instead of doing Start-Sleep inside the GUI, it is better to use a timer so the form stays responsive.
I changed the code of the GUI.ps1 (not the way it looks) like this:
Param (
[string]$Path = '*.*',
[string]$MaxAttempts = 5
)
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
# set things up for the timer
$script:nAttempts = 0
$timer = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Timer
$timer.Interval = 1000 # 1 second
$timer.Add_Tick({
$global:Result = $null
$script:nAttempts++
$file = Get-Item -Path $Path
if ($file) {
$global:Result = [PSCustomObject]#{
Exists = $true
FileName = $file.FullName
Attempts = $script:nAttempts
}
$timer.Dispose()
$Form.Close()
}
elseif ($script:nAttempts -ge $MaxAttempts) {
$global:Result = [PSCustomObject]#{
Exists = $false
FileName = ''
Attempts = $script:nAttempts
}
$timer.Dispose()
$Form.Close()
}
})
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.ClientSize = '578,400'
$Form.Text = "Form"
$Form.BackColor = "#c1daf7"
$Form.WindowState = 'Maximized'
$Form.FormBorderStyle = "FixedDialog"
$Label1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$Label1.Text = "UNDER PROCESS"
$Label1.AutoSize = $true
$Label1.Width = 25
$Label1.Height = 10
$Label1.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(600,300)
$Label1.Font = 'Microsoft Sans Serif,30,style=Bold,Underline'
$Label1.ForeColor = "#d0021b"
$Label2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$Label2.Text = "WAITING"
$Label2.AutoSize = $true
$Label2.Width = 25
$Label2.Height = 10
$Label2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(770,500)
$Label2.Font = 'Microsoft Sans Serif,20,style=Bold'
$Label2.ForeColor = "#fb0505"
$Form.Controls.AddRange(#($Label1,$Label2))
# start the timer as soon as the dialog is visible
$Form.Add_Shown({ $timer.Start() })
[void]$Form.ShowDialog()
# clean up when done
$Form.Dispose()
And to call it from your other script, use:
$SN = "708TSTA"
$MAC = "2E5961370"
function Test-FileExists {
$file = Get-Item -Path "D:\*$SN-$MAC*"
if ($file) {
$global:Result = [PSCustomObject]#{
Exists = $true
FileName = $file.FullName
Attempts = 1
}
}
else {
& "D:\GUI.ps1" -Path "D:\*$SN-$MAC*" -MaxAttempts 3
}
}
# call the function that can call the GUI.ps1 script
Test-FileExists
# check the Global result object
if ($global:Result.Exists) {
Write-Host "File '$($global:Result.FileName)' Exists. Found after $($global:Result.Attempts) attempts." -ForegroundColor Green
}
else {
Write-Host "File not found after $($global:Result.Attempts) attempts." -ForegroundColor Red
}
Update
As per your comments, I understand that the calling script should show the form (which does nothing more that show on screen) AND is responsible for closing it after the file has been found.
The code below should do what you ask by defining the $Form as a global variable and by using the .Show() method of the form instead of ShowDialog():

$Label2.ForeColor = "#fb0505"
$global:Form.Controls.AddRange(#($Label1,$Label2))
# don't use ShowDialog() here because it will block the calling script
$global:Form.Show()
the calling script
function Test-FileExists {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[parameter(Mandatory = $true, ValueFromPipeline = $true, Position = 0)]
[string]$Path,
[string]$Pattern = '*.*'
)
$nAttempts = 1
$file = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter $Pattern -File | Select-Object -First 1
if (!$file) {
# show the GUI

do {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
$nAttempts++
Write-Verbose "Attempt No. $nAttempts"
$file = Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Filter $Pattern -File | Select-Object -First 1
} until ($file)
# clean up the form
$global:Form.Dispose()

Using a function to populate a textbox in Powershell

I currently have a script that queries our AD for the users' AD attribute "Department".
Right now, the script will run "successfully" but all output for Textbox2 goes to the console instead of TextBox2.
If I change my function Get-CCUsers to be a query without variables, like Get-ADUser -Filter "Department -eq 19330" (we use numbers for our departments) then the output shows in TextBox2 as I want it to.
How can I get my function to populate TextBox2?
BTW, this script was cobbled together with my limited understanding, and there may well be superfluous or nonsense lines in here.

I have made your script working changing the 'Get-CCUSers' function
function Get-CCUsers {
Write-Host "The textbox text is $textbox.Text"
$dept = $textBox.Text
$deptUsers = Get-ADUser -Filter "Department -eq '$dept'"
$res = #()
ForEach ($user in $deptUsers) {
IF ( ((get-aduser $user).enabled) -eq $True ) {
$UHomeDir = (Get-ADUser $user -Properties HomeDirectory).HomeDirectory
$UProfPath = (Get-ADUser $user -Properties ProfilePath).ProfilePath
$res += "$user, $UHomeDir, $UProfPath"
}
}
return $res
}
In short:
I removed the Write-Host (the output was actually redirected to stdout)
I added a $res in the function initialized as array
In the ForEach loop, results are added as items in the array
The $res is returned by the function, and then used $RunButton

Terminated Users script - adapt single-run script to run for multiple users?

I don't want to run script for each terminated user, I assume I need to use do while loop for this so the it will continually loop over and over again until the ESC option.
I have been trying to do this in powershell, but I am new to it and am still learning. Do you have any idea?

Form text boxes are going to be tricky to handle multiple users. So instead, use a CSV file as input file with the username and ticketnumber as headers.
$CSVList = Import-csv C:\Temp\InputFile.csv
Use a Foreach loop to loop through each line in the CSV.
Foreach ($Line.Username in $CSVList)
{
#your termination code goes here
#if at any point you need to use the ticket number for this user
$TicketNo = $Line.TicketNumber
#This is the Header you used in the csv file.
}
For Display, create an object table (much like a csv file) and show it using a Datagridview or the more simpler Out-Gridview instead of labels so you can support displaying multiple users. (Out-Gridview will create its own window though)
