I have a log function that I call in various places in my script. How would I output this to a textbox?



log -l "Mail property detected"
log -l "City property detected"
log -l "Unable to set property: $($p.name)"

You add the log entry to the text property of the textbox.
$Textbox1.Text += "Your new log entry"
You might want to throw in new lines and other formatting aids.

I would start with familiarizing myself with the various controls and how to use them.

That works for a string of text but how do I use the function like I had asked.

I don't know what your log function does. You would probably need to rewrite that to do what I implied.
I suggest to post in the PowerShell GUI section and provide a little more detail.
