Custom box values

PowerShell Help
1

Hello,

I want to know please how can i make a “start-process” button receive values that entered in a separate custom box.

i have this short script:

#add text box
$textBox_IP = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$textBox_ip.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(75,10)
$textBox_ip.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(189,20)
$form_RemoteControl.Controls.Add($textBox_ip)

# add Start button
$button_start = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$button_start.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(25,70)
$button_start.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(240,32)
$button_start.TextAlign = "MiddleCenter"
$button_start.Text = "Start"
$button_start.Add_Click({
$button_start.Text = "Start"
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\userbame\Desktop\software\software.exe" -verb RunAs
})
$Form_remoteControl.Controls.Add($button_start)

the output of that .exe is:

software.exe <address> [\site server name]

 

so i want that the IP that i will enter in the custom box will be the <address>

TNX

Pass the -ArgumentList parameter to Start-Process to supply command line arguments. You may need to explicitly scope your variables to ensure the delegate the handles the click event has access to the variable, as they commonly run in other scopes, e.g., $script:Arguments

sorry, i don’t think i understood.

the change should br in this line:?

Start-Process -FilePath “C:\Users\userbame\Desktop\software\software.exe” -verb RunAs

4 
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\userbame\Desktop\software\software.exe" -verb RunAs -ArgumentList "$Arg1","$Arg2", etc...

i have this until now:

#add text box
$textBox_IP = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$textBox_ip.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(75,10)
$textBox_ip.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(189,20)
$form_RemoteControl.Controls.Add($textBox_ip)

# add Start button
$button_start = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$button_start.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(25,70)
$button_start.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(240,32)
$button_start.TextAlign = "MiddleCenter"
$button_start.Text = "Start"
$button_start.Add_Click({
$button_start.Text = "Start"
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Users\username\Desktop\SCCM_RC\CmRcViewer.exe" -verb RunAs -ArgumentList # ??????????
})
$Form_remoteControl.Controls.Add($button_start)

i need that every IP address i will enter in the textBox_ip will be the address to remote on.

$textBox_ip.text
