Hey all
I am semi new to working heavily with PowerShell and am working on building a WPF application using Posh Powershell Pro Tools and VS 2017. I have the GUI built and designed how I want it, I just don't know how to bind the buttons and event handlers properly.
Basically, I would like for the first page to have a text box to gather input, and a button to take that input and change the name of a PC.
Here is my XAML code:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Windows Setup Automation" Height="350" Width="451.471"><Grid><Grid.RowDefinitions><RowDefinition Height="153*"/><RowDefinition Height="166*"/></Grid.RowDefinitions><Grid.ColumnDefinitions><ColumnDefinition Width="268*"/></Grid.ColumnDefinitions><Label Content="Type in value of computer name and click "Set Computer Name"" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,57,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="348" Height="26"/><Button x:Name="firstNext" Content="Next" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="66" Margin="0,0,14,10" Height="20" Grid.Row="1" Click="firstNext_Click"/><TextBox x:Name="firstComputerNameInput" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="22" Margin="38,90,0,0" TextWrapping="Wrap" Text="Type computer name here" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" TextChanged="TextBox_TextChanged" FontStyle="Italic" FontSize="10"/><Button x:Name="firstbuttonSetComputerName" Content="Set Computer Name" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="163,91,0,0" Width="122" Click="firstbuttonSetComputerName_Click" VerticalAlignment="Top"/><Button x:Name="firstPrevious" Content="Previous" Margin="0,0,85,10" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" Grid.Row="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="75" Click="firstPrevious_Click"/></Grid></Window>
Here is my PowerShell code:
function Add-ControlVariables {
New-Variable -Name 'firstComputerNameInput' -Value $window.FindName('firstComputerNameInput') -Scope 1 -Force
New-Variable -Name 'firstbuttonSetComputerName' -Value $window.FindName('firstbuttonSetComputerName') -Scope 1 -Force
New-Variable -Name 'firstPrevious' -Value $window.FindName('firstPrevious') -Scope 1 -Force
New-Variable -Name 'firstNext' -Value $window.FindName('firstNext') -Scope 1 -Force
}
function Load-Xaml {
[xml]$xaml = Get-Content -Path $PSScriptRoot\FirstPage.xaml
$manager = New-Object System.Xml.XmlNamespaceManager -ArgumentList $xaml.NameTable
$manager.AddNamespace("x", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml");
$xaml.SelectNodes("//*[@x:Name='firstComputerNameInput']", $manager)[0].RemoveAttribute('TextChanged')
$xaml.SelectNodes("//*[@x:Name='firstbuttonSetComputerName']", $manager)[0].RemoveAttribute('Click')
$xaml.SelectNodes("//*[@x:Name='firstPrevious']", $manager)[0].RemoveAttribute('Click')
$xaml.SelectNodes("//*[@x:Name='firstNext']", $manager)[0].RemoveAttribute('Click')
$xamlReader = New-Object System.Xml.XmlNodeReader $xaml
[Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load($xamlReader)
}
function Set-EventHandlers {
$firstComputerNameInput.add_TextChanged({
param([System.Object]$sender,[System.Windows.Controls.TextChangedEventArgs]$e)
TextBox_TextChanged($sender,$e)
})
$firstbuttonSetComputerName.add_Click({
param([System.Object]$sender,[System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs]$e)
firstbuttonSetComputerName_Click($sender,$e)
})
$firstComputerNameInput.add_TextChanged({
param([System.Object]$sender,[System.Windows.Controls.TextChangedEventArgs]$e)
TextBox_TextChanged($sender,$e)
})
$firstPrevious.add_Click({
param([System.Object]$sender,[System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs]$e)
firstPrevious_Click($sender,$e)
})
$firstNext.add_Click({
param([System.Object]$sender,[System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs]$e)
firstNext_Click($sender,$e)
})
}
$window = Load-Xaml
Add-ControlVariables
Set-EventHandlers
function TextBox_TextChanged
{
param($sender, $e)
}
function firstbuttonSetComputerName_Click
{
param($sender, $e)
}
function firstPrevious_Click
{
param($sender, $e)
}
function firstNext_Click
{
param($sender, $e)
}
$window.ShowDialog()Any help would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.
