Powershell - Output to a textbox

Question

I'm creating a basic GUI for internal staff to share calenders on behalf of other users.

I currently have a button click to get the permissions of the calendar. How would I update the textbox called 'calendarGetOutput?'

    $User = $inputCalendarGet.Text
    $CalendarGet = Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity ${user}:\Calendar 
    $calendarGetOutput.text = ???

Depends on what properties you want shown.. Something like $calendarGetOutput.Text = ($CalendarGet | Select-Object User, AccessRights | Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String) perhaps? — Theo

@Theo Would it work in a similar way for a ListBox? Ideally, it would show more than one line of text. Unless TextBox's can be multi-line? — Elliottconnor2

make your textbox much larger vertically, so it can contain more than one line of text

set these properties to it:

$calendarGetOutput.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font 'Consolas', 10  # or any other monospaced font
$calendarGetOutput.Multiline  = $true
$calendarGetOutput.WordWrap   = $false
$calendarGetOutput.ScrollBars = 'Both'
$calendarGetOutput.Anchor     = 'Left, Top, Right, Bottom'  # so it can grow/shrink with the form

get the mailboxpermissions and have Format-Table create a nice table view from the properties you are interested in and add a button click handler that does this:

$theButton.Add_Click({ 
    $User = $inputCalendarGet.Text
    $Perms = Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity ${user}:\Calendar
    $calendarGetOutput.Text = $Perms | Select-Object User, AccessRights | 
                              Format-Table -AutoSize | Out-String
})

With the permissions table, it seems to do show permissions of the logged in user, instead of the textbox input?

@Elliottconnor2 Of course, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. One can only see what is allowed.
