so, i have not found anything that i can parlay into a solution for what i am attempting to do.
Basically i am using powershell to build a GUI to manage websites on various servers.
in a nutshell:
- i have an array with the servers i want to query
- a foreach loop gets me the site names for each server (number of sites can vary on a server).
- need put checkboxes on a GUI for every site to do something (25-30 sites across 8 servers).
currently i am passing the $dir.name variable to a function that will create the new variable using this command:
$pName = $dir.name
New-variable -name $pName -value (New-Object System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox)
$pName.Location -value (New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,$i))
$pName.Size -value (New-Object System.Drawing.Size(100,20))
$Pname.Text -value $dir.name
$groupBox.Controls.Add($pName)
Problem is i am not able to do anything with my newly created variable. I am trying to use the following code to position the new checkbox but i get nothing (same for text, size, etc.) I am not seeing any errors, so i don't know what i have going wrong.
is this even possible?
I am able to create static checkboxes, and i can create dynamic variables. But i can't mix the two...
