# Create the Window Object
$Reader=(New-Object System.Xml.XmlNodeReader $XAMLWindow)
$Window=[Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load( $Reader )
# TextChanged Event Handler for Input
$TextboxInput = $Window.FindName("Input")
$TextboxInput.add_TextChanged.Invoke({
$ComputerName = $TextboxInput.Text
$ButtonGetService.IsEnabled = $ComputerName -ne ''
})
# Click Event Handler for ButtonClose
$ButtonClose = $Window.FindName("ButtonClose")
$ButtonClose.add_Click.Invoke({
$Window.Close();
})
# Click Event Handler for ButtonGetService
$ButtonGetService = $Window.FindName("ButtonGetService")
$ButtonGetService.add_Click.Invoke({
$ComputerName = $TextboxInput.text.Trim()
try{
Get-Service -ComputerName $computerName | Out-GridView -Title "Get-Service on $ComputerName"
}catch{
[System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show($_.exception.message,"Error",[System.Windows.MessageBoxButton]::OK,[System.Windows.MessageBoxImage]::Error)
}
})
# Open the Window
$Window.ShowDialog() | Out-Null
This creates a dialog window which allows the user to select a computer name, then will display a table of services and their statuses on that computer.
This example uses WPF rather than Windows Forms.
