I suggest you avoid using a custom form, it requires a lot of code, just use a default InputBox. Here is a fast example
Add-Type -AssemblyName Microsoft.VisualBasic;
$value = [Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::InputBox('Enter group name', 'XA Group', '')
In $value you will find text user entered
Ie.
$users = gc "C:\Users\raw.admin\Documents\PowerShell Scripts\users_list.txt"
$group = Read-Host "Enter Group To Display"
foreach($u in $users)
{
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Members $u
}

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
)
})

I tried a lot of change but im still blocked
Thanks in advance for you help
Regards
I am struggling with an until loop in combination with a random picker and a mouse click in a PowerShell Form.
I am able to run a random picker without the form , where I have weekdays, picked by random and one by one day, is being removed, until the arraylist is empty. Works not bad.
$Weekdays = 'Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$arraylist = $Weekdays
Write-Host $arraylist -ForegroundColor Green
pause
do {
$removetask = Get-Random $arraylist.ToArray()
$arraylist.Remove($removetask)
Write-Host $removetask
Write-Host $arraylist -ForegroundColor Red
pause
} until ($arraylist.Count -eq 0)
In another approach, I tried to do the same, but this time, I want to control the looping itself, that as soon as the first key from the arraylist is taken and shown in a label, I have to click the mouse button, so it continues to take the next random.
Without the do {} until () I got so far:
$TestForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$TestForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size (1200,800)
$TestForm.Text ='Random Test'
$TestForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$TestForm.AutoSize = $true
$TestForm.BringToFront()
$TestForm.BackgroundImageLayout = "Stretch"
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$Weekdays = 'Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'
$TestLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.label
$TestLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size '500,200'
$TestLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size '600,60'
$TestLabel.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font ('Times New Roman','20',[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Bold)
$TestLabel.BackColor = 'Transparent'
$TestLabel.ForeColor = "Blue"
$removetask = Get-Random $Weekdays.ToArray()
$TestLabel.Text = $removetask
$TestForm.Controls.Add($TestLabel)
$TestButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$TestButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size '500,600'
$TestButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size '200,75'
$TestButton.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font ('Arial','10',[System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Bold)
$TestButton.Text = 'Next Random'
$TestForm.Controls.Add($TestButton)
$TestButton.Add_Click()
$TestForm.ShowDialog()
$TestForm.Dispose()
Now I have a few lines of code left, I am not able to include on such way, so it works on the following way.
The testform opens, and in a label I see chosen by random one of the weekdays. Clicking next will remove the chosen weekday from the arraylist and show the next weekday by random and will continue until the arraylist is empty.
The missing pieces to the puzzle are:
### The loop itself
do {} until ()
### code to find a Random value from $weekdays and write it into $removetask
$removetask = Get-Random $Weekdays.ToArray()
### code to remove the randomly chosen day and remove it from the arraylist
$Weekdays.Remove($removetask)
#### check if array is empty
($weekdays.Count -eq 0)
I was playing around with the codes and tried with Button.Add_Click() and also with ButtonClickEvent {} but either, the loop is not running, the counter is not working correctly or I somehow messed up the code on such way, that it is stuck somewhere, that not even the form is being shown.
The following enhanced adjustment of your script implements some kind of a loop in the form.
Note that no loop keywords (like do, while, until) and even no if keyword are used:

I'm building my own PowerShell GUI password generator and so far it works. But as I want more control regarding the input I've run into a problem;
verify that the minimum length input is greater than x.
The $NumberBox1 is a textbox where the length of the password is set. And if it is less than 8 it should automatically set it to 8 and generate the password when the button is clicked.
If I change the value in the textbox $NumberBox1 to 9 it works. But not when the value is below 8 or above 9.
It's this section I can't get right:
## Check password length
if ($pw_length -le "7") {
$pw_length = "8"
$NumberBox1.Text = "8"
}
If I comment out the above part I can set any length for the password.

Your $pw_length contains a string. For your -lt operation, you need it to be an integer.
Solution: Cast your variable like this.
[int]$pw_length = $NumberBox1.Text
or
$pw_length = $NumberBox1.Text -as [int]
You can use the [math]::max function, so no if required (intrinsic casting):
$generate.Add_Click( {
$pw_length = [math]::max($NumberBox1.Text,8)
$NumberBox1.Text = $pw_length
## Password with letters, numbers and punctiation
$PW_F = ([char[]](Get-Random -Input $(33..93 + 95 + 97..122) -Count $pw_length)) -join ""
$TextBox1.Text = $pw_F
$InfoBox2.Text = "Full complexity used. Length: $pw_length"
})
I am trying to make a progress bar in a powershell generated GUI that will show the progress of a search as the system caches all the groups in AD (there are about 12,000 so this just otherwise causes the system to hang for a short while)
I managed to build the bar etc but I cannot get it to fill the bar as the system adds the groups. Here is what I have so far:
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Windows.Forms") | Out-Null
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Drawing") | Out-Null
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.width = 345
$Form.height = 345
$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$Form.ShowInTaskbar = $True
$Form.FormBorderStyle = 'FixedToolWindow'
$ExitButt = new-object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$ExitButt.Location = new-object System.Drawing.Size(235,5)
$ExitButt.Size = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,20)
$ExitButt.Text = "Exit"
$Form.Controls.Add($ExitButt)
$ExitButt.Add_Click({$Form.Close()})
$Prog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar
$Prog.Maximum = 10000
$Prog.Minimum = 0
$Prog.Location = new-object System.Drawing.Size(50,50)
$Prog.size = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,50)
$Form.Controls.Add($Prog)
$Button = new-object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button.Location = new-object System.Drawing.Size(120,100)
$Button.Size = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,30)
$Button.Text = "Start Progress"
$Form.Controls.Add($Button)
$Button.add_click(
{
$GroupsList = Get-ADGroup -Server "server" -Filter *
$Count = ($GroupsList | Measure-Object).Count
$prog.Value = $Count
}
)
$form.ShowDialog() | Out-Null
To update a WinForms ProgressBar just set its Value property.
Eg.
# Initialisation...
$myProgBar.Minimum = 1;
$myProgBar.Maximum = 100;
# When something happens...
$myProgBar.Value = 50;
will set it to half way.
