Hi all ,
i created this code ``“IP Address” {
$wifiButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$wifiButton.Text = “Wi-Fi”
$wifiButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$wifiButton.Top = 30
$wifiButton.Left = 20
$wifiButton.Padding = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Padding(10, 0, 0, 0)
```
$lanButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$lanButton.Text = "LAN"
$lanButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel
$lanButton.Top = 30
$lanButton.Left = 120
$lanButton.Padding = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Padding(10, 0, 0, 0)
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "Select IP Address"
$form.Controls.Add($wifiButton)
$form.Controls.Add($lanButton)
$form.ClientSize = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(250, 100)
$form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$form.Topmost = $true
$result = $form.ShowDialog()
$form.Add_Closing({
$this.DialogResult = $result
})
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Wi-Fi*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
if ($ip) {
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your Wi-Fi IP address is: $ip")
}
} elseif ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Ethernet*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
if ($ip) {
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your LAN IP address is: $ip")
}
}
```
}``
but once i close the second windows i can see still the ip address message
how can i fix it?
thanks?

Your code came through kind of wonky.
Is it supposed to start at $wifibutton or “IP Address”?
Because IP address and the initial curly bracket and end curly bracket look out of place.

sorry this the code its starting with ip address
```auto

$lanButton.Padding = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Padding(10, 0, 0, 0)
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Wi-Fi*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your Wi-Fi IP address is: $ip")
} elseif ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Ethernet*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your LAN IP address is: $ip")

I’m not sure what the “IP Address” is at the front.
If I change that to `function IPAddress`, leave the rest as is, and just run IPAddress after committing it to session, it works as expected for me.
Alternatively, just leaving the “IP Address” open curly and end curly out, it works as well.

Maybe a cached issue or an unclosed form from another session?
It looks like everything works for me.

I re-read your issue, and now I understand and can replicate.
I took it as after you showed the IP, closed the box, it still showed up. But the issue comes when you don’t select anything, it still shows up.
There’s nothing to tell the form what to do when nothing is selected. And your “Result” for LAN is “Cancel”.
You could do this a couple different ways, but if you just want to fix it quick to see the issue, change below.
```auto
$lanButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel
```
to
```auto
$lanButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Yes
```
Then change the other spots below, and add in a else catch at the end.
current
```auto
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Wi-Fi*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your Wi-Fi IP address is: $ip")
} elseif ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Cancel) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Ethernet*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your LAN IP address is: $ip")
}
```
change to
```auto
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Wi-Fi*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your Wi-Fi IP address is: $ip")
} elseif ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Yes) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Ethernet*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your LAN IP address is: $ip")
} else {
$form.Close()
```
Whole IP Address section would look like this;
```auto
"IP Address" {
$wifiButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$wifiButton.Text = "Wi-Fi"
$wifiButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$wifiButton.Top = 30
$wifiButton.Left = 20
$wifiButton.Padding = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Padding(10, 0, 0, 0)
$lanButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$lanButton.Text = "LAN"
$lanButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Yes
$lanButton.Top = 30
$lanButton.Left = 120
$lanButton.Padding = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Padding(10, 0, 0, 0)
$form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "Select IP Address"
$form.Controls.Add($wifiButton)
$form.Controls.Add($lanButton)
$form.ClientSize = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(250, 100)
$form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
$form.Topmost = $true
$result = $form.ShowDialog()
if ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Wi-Fi*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your Wi-Fi IP address is: $ip")
} elseif ($result -eq [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::Yes) {
$ip = (Get-NetAdapter | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "Ethernet*" } | Get-NetIPAddress -AddressFamily IPv4).IPAddress
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Your LAN IP address is: $ip")
} else {
$form.Close()
}
}
```
The other option is changing/adding button clicks to each one. As you have it now, you are limited to the options available in “DialogResult”, and you chose one that matches Closing/Cancelling the form. So when you hit X without selecting, that’s seen as “Cancel”, which you told it to show Lan Settings.
Let me know if that works and makes sense.
