I've just a little problem I guess.
I created a GUI with WPF for Powershell, and in this GUI is a passwordbox, now I would like to get the clear value from this passwordbox into a variable in PS.
<PasswordBox Name="PWBox" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="147,75,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="137" FontFamily="Century Gothic"/>
I tested e.g.:
$password = $PWBox.Password
But I get no Value in the $password
What is the right way to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Robin

I am simple windows admin who is trying to create a simple WPF form with a textbox and a button control. Basically, when I press the button I would like to write to the textbox line after another. It seems easy enough in all other programming languages to add a new line if you use \n or \r in your String but I am struggling to do this using PowerShell in WPF. Will you be able to guide me please?
$button.add_Click({
$OutputBox.AppendText( "`r`n")
$OutputBox.Text = "Complete1"
$OutputBox.AppendText("`r`n")
$OutputBox.Text = "Complete2"
$OutputBox.AppendText("`r`n")
$OutputBox.Text = "Complete3"
})
And I tried this way as well
$button.add_Click({
$OutputBox.Text = "Complete1`r`n"
$OutputBox.Text = "Complete2`r`n"
$OutputBox.Text = "Complete3`r`n"
})
The XAML code for the textbox is written like this
<TextBox Name="OutputBox" AcceptsReturn="True" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Grid.ColumnSpan="6" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="135" Margin="88,174,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="....." VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="430"/>
The expected output is like this
Complete1
Complete2
Complete3
Instead it only gives out
Complete3
I have WPF app with label MainWindow.xaml:
<Label Grid.Row="1" Margin="0,17,0,16" Name="lblLoadDriver" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="10" Width="10"></Label>
In MainWindow.xaml.cs there is code, after button click:
lblLoadDriver.Content = ""+DriverInstance.GetType().ToString();
When i debug, I put the mouse over the value of lblLoadDriver browse under "base" section and see content is AS-I-NEED.. i see the text ok, but it didnt change the text on GUI.
Why is this ? Do i need to refresh gui or something ?
thanks.
Perhaps because of Width="10"?
Also Height="10" is a strange idea.
So I dont really touch or have touched silverlight programming but my company has this application built in it and I have a bug they want me to fix. The issue is my text box can hold up to about 778 characters or 16 rows but then you cant view anymore of what you wrote. If you copy all you get everything you wrote even though you might only see 3/4 of it. I am not sure what I need to do, if I need to create a control panel thing for over flow or set a max length, etc. What would be my best step for this? Any good ideas?
Code:
<TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="txtDesc" Width="300" Height="80" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="{Binding Path=ExcursionDescription, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource StripNonAsciilCharacters1}}" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" Margin="0,0,5,0"/>
I'm hoping this will be my last question today. I'm in a hurry and google is not helping much (that or I'm searching the wrong places).
I created some custom properties and behaviors so my RadioButtons can alter my labels Content and the mask of my TextBoxes.
I could pass a String as a property, but how do I pass another control as a property? (AdjustedLabel is of type Label)
<RadioButton i:CPF_CNPJAdjustBehavior.LabelContent="Apple" i:CPF_CNPJAdjustBehavior.AdjustedLabel="??????????" Content="CPF" Height="16" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="30,216,0,0" Name="radioButton1" VerticalAlignment="Top" GroupName="a" IsChecked="True">
<int:Interaction.Behaviors>
<i:CPF_CNPJAdjustBehavior/>
</int:Interaction.Behaviors>
</RadioButton>
<Label Content="Label" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="20,81,0,0" Name="MyLabel" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
What do I have do write in "?????????" to set AdjustedLabel to the label named "MyLabel" ?
Thanks in Advance

AdjustedLabel="{Binding ElementName=MyLabel}" will do what you're searching for.
Consider reading some documentation for getting started with WPF, Bindings, Dependency Properties and XAML syntax. You could start with XAML Syntax In Detail, Dependency Properties Overview and Data Binding Overview.
I'll preface this and say that I'm new to Silverlight development by about week so I'm most likely doing it wrong...
Anyway I have a Label and a TextBox done up thusly in XAML:
<dataInput:Label Target="{Binding ElementName=JobCode}" Height="18" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="15,7,0,0" Name="lableJobCode" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="250" FontWeight="Bold" Grid.Column="1" />
<TextBox Height="23" Text="{Binding SelectedRole.Job_Code}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="15,31,0,0" Name="JobCode" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="277" Grid.Column="1" IsReadOnly="{Binding IsNotAdmin}" />
Everything works great, the only issue I have is that the binding I'm doing on the IsReadOnly attribute which goes to a boolean in my ViewModel which is set based on a call to an authentication service, is now overriding the label Content to the name of my ViewModel property: IsNotAdmin. I can't seem to find a way to specify which data binding source to pull the label content MetaData from. Maybe I'm missing something on how to manipulate control editablity/visibility from my ViewModel.
--Update: The data source class that the TextBox is bound to is as follows (for the relevant parts):
public class RoleSummary {
[Display(Name= "Job Code (To be Completed by HR):")]
public string Job_Code { get; set; }
Without the binding to the IsReadOnly attribute the Label displays the text from the data annotation just fine. When I add the binding it displays "IsNotAdmin"
can you post more of your code? I'm not entirely sure what it is that you're trying to make happen so it's hard to propose a solution.
I assume you're trying to create a text entry element that has validation performed on it (hence the label) -- but what exactly is the label supposed to be showing for it's content?
EDIT: I figured this out. The label control by default looks through all the properties in its datacontext looking for metadata it can use. For whatever reason it decided to use the metadata for the IsNotAdmin property in your code (even though you didn't set it manually, I assume that the Display metadata gets a default value of the property name), and so you get that for the text of the label.
Microsoft put in a property specifier into the data controls so you can tell it which property it should use for the metadata lookup: PropertyPath
Try it like this:
<dataInput:Label Target="{Binding ElementName=JobCode}" PropertyPath="SelectedRole.Job_Code" Height="18" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="15,7,0,0" Name="lableJobCode" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="250" FontWeight="Bold" Grid.Column="1" />
<TextBox Height="23" Text="{Binding SelectedRole.Job_Code}" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="15,31,0,0" Name="JobCode" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="277" Grid.Column="1" IsReadOnly="{Binding IsNotAdmin}" />
As long as your datacontext is right (which it should be) this should work for you -- it worked in my sample I reconstructed from your code.
