radio buttons within PowerShell Studio

[mqh77777]

I have a function that will change the timezone on any computer. This function works fine when run from within PowerShell ISE but it does not change anything when run from within PowerShell Studio 2018 v5.5.150.

I have tried the following:

Code: Select all

       $NewTZ = ""
	if ($radiobuttonPacific.Checked -eq $true){$NewTZ = "Pacific Standard Time"}
	elseif ($radiobuttonMountain.Checked -eq $true) {$NewTZ = "US Mountain Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonCentral.Checked -eq $true) { $NewTZ = "Central Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonEastern.Checked -eq $true ) { $NewTZ = "Eastern Standard Time" }

	if ($radiobuttonPacific.Checked = $true){$NewTZ = "Pacific Standard Time"}
	elseif ($radiobuttonMountain.Checked = $true) {$NewTZ = "US Mountain Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonCentral.Checked = $true) { $NewTZ = "Central Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonEastern.Checked = $true ) { $NewTZ = "Eastern Standard Time" }

	if ($radiobuttonPacific.Checked){$NewTZ = "Pacific Standard Time"}
	elseif ($radiobuttonMountain.Checked) {$NewTZ = "US Mountain Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonCentral.Checked) { $NewTZ = "Central Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonEastern.Checked) { $NewTZ = "Eastern Standard Time" }

And here is the Function that I found online:

Code: Select all

$buttonSetTimeZone_Click = {
	$textPC = $PCNameBox.Text
	$richtextbox_Output.Clear()
	$statusbar1.text = 'Changing timezone, please wait...'
	$NewTZ = ""
	if ($radiobuttonPacific.Checked -eq $true){$NewTZ = "Pacific Standard Time"}
	elseif ($radiobuttonMountain.Checked -eq $true) {$NewTZ = "US Mountain Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonCentral.Checked -eq $true) { $NewTZ = "Central Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonEastern.Checked = $true ) { $NewTZ = "Eastern Standard Time" }

	Set-RemotetimeZone -computername "$textPC" -zone  "$NewTZ"
	$statusbar1.text = 'All done!'
	$richtextbox_Output.AppendText($NewTZ)
	
	
}

The OUTPUT to the richtextbox always displays the correct radio button but the timezone never changes. and on the line where I call my function I've tried both with and without quotes around my variables. What am I doing wrong here?

I see no reason for it not working in PS 2018. Are you sure the function is being called.

[jvierra]

Why do you have three copies of the same block of code?

The following is reproduced three time:

Code: Select all

	if ($radiobuttonPacific.Checked -eq $true){$NewTZ = "Pacific Standard Time"}
	elseif ($radiobuttonMountain.Checked -eq $true) {$NewTZ = "US Mountain Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonCentral.Checked -eq $true) { $NewTZ = "Central Standard Time" }
	elseif ($radiobuttonEastern.Checked -eq $true ) { $NewTZ = "Eastern Standard Time" }

Why do you have three copies of the same block of code?
I was only trying to illustrate the different ways I've coded this and none work. That is why I had three copies of the same block.

[jvierra]

A quick look says that the code will not ever run correctly in ISE or in a form. The "ValidateSet" is broken and no errors are being reported when the code fails.

You cannot set the TZ to the local computer without running at an elevated prompt

[jvierra]

This shows how to do this. I also fixed the function to work better in a form.

[mqh77777]

thank you and I did get mine to work. I was running it all on my own PC where I'm a local admin. But it only worked when I launched my compiled .exe as "administrator"

But I have another question on radio buttons. How do you clear them? I have a button on my form that when pressed clears all text fields. How do you clear all radio buttons?

[jvierra]

Here is ho I clear the form:
