I want to prevent my Powershell Form from closing after a submit button is pressed. After the function "search_PC" there is no more code and the form closes. I want to still be able to write stuff in there after the function is finished. I have already tried the pause function and while($true) loops. I would be very happy about an answer.

Screenshot of the form:
This line is your problem:
$SubmitButton.DialogResult = "OK"
It should be:
$SubmitButton.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::None
Or just be removed.
