I need to get the results of the first DROPDOWN box stored as a variable, and used in place of INSTANCE_NAME in the second DROPDOWN box.
Essentially, the SELECT query from the second box needs to be run against the MASTER database in the SLQ_INSTANCE that the first DROPDOWN box results in once a choice has been made.
I’ve tried a few variations and can’t seem to get it right. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
#first DROPDOWN Box
$label = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$label.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,20)
$label.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(280,20)
$label.Text = 'SQL Server Name'
$form.Controls.Add($label)
$DropDownBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$DropDownBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,40)
$DropDownBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(260,20)
$DropDownBox.DropDownHeight = 200
$Form.Controls.Add($DropDownBox)
$wksList= invoke-sqlcmd -query "select * from VIEW_NAME
order by instance_name" -database DATABASE_NAME -serverinstance INSTANCE_NAME
foreach ($wks in $wksList) { $DropDownBox.Items.Add($wks.Instance_Name) } #end foreach
#end first DROPDOWN box
#second DROPDOWN Box
$label2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$label2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(10,90)
$label2.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(280,20)
$label2.Text = 'Database Name'
$form.Controls.Add($label2)
$DropDownBox2 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$DropDownBox2.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,110)
$DropDownBox2.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(260,20)
$DropDownBox2.DropDownHeight = 200
$Form.Controls.Add($DropDownBox2)
$wksList2= invoke-sqlcmd -query "select name from sys.databases
where database_id>4
order by name" -database MASTER -serverinstance INSTANCE_NAME
foreach ($wks in $wksList2) { $DropDownBox2.Items.Add($wks.name) } #end foreach
#end second DROPDOWN box
