How to connect a function to a radio button

PowerShell Help
1

Hello everyone

I have started the proces of creating a GUI for a powershell script that I developed.

I will be using some radio buttons to determine what the action will be performed.
I however don’t know on how to connect a function to the selection of a specific radiobutton
As an example

#
# radiobutton 1
#
$RadioButton1 = New-Object Windows.Forms.radiobutton
$RadioButton1.text = "Vaste Tekst"
$RadioButton1.height = 20
$RadioButton1.width = 100
$RadioButton1.top = 45
$RadioButton1.left = 200
#
# radiobutton2
#
$radiobutton2 = New-Object Windows.Forms.radiobutton
$RadioButton2.text = "Vrije Tekst"
$RadioButton2.height = 20
$RadioButton2.width = 100
$RadioButton2.top = 45
$RadioButton2.left = 300
#


#When user selects radiobutton1, a textlabel should appear where additional info can be added, which on its turn then calls another function

#I thought following piece of code in the main body would do the trick, but apparently it doesn't

$event = {if ($RadioButton1.Checked) {
        $Lbl_Tekst = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
        $Lbl_Tekst.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10, 350)
        $Lbl_Tekst.AutoSize = $True
        $Lbl_Tekst.Text = "versturen?"
        $Form.Controls.Add($Lbl_Tekst)
    }
}
$RadioButton1.add_click($event)

 

Can anyone help me out?

Just write the event handler for it.

This is not PowerShell thing, it is a general WinForms/WPF thing (depending on which you are doing). So, just pull up the WinForms/WPF GUI designer and make the change or view the docs on those two topics for the examples. The process is the same with WinForms/WPF, regardless of the language you are using.

WF/WPF label object are not input boxes for user interactions. So, I am not real sure what you are after there, where as you should be using a text box instead if you want user input. This also seems convoluted, just show the input object and avoid the additional click altogether, because you have to allocate an empty space on the from to populate the text box anyway.

Thank you for your reply.

In the meantime, I have created an event and it works
