Powershell: Click button on GUI to move to next item in array
I have created a GUI with the purpose of deleting a row from a SQL table.
I am now stuck on having the results show one at a time as a button is pressed.
Screenshot of GUI:
If I have three results come back, it will show the first result in the text box, then when the Next button is pressed, it skips over the second result and shows the last one.
Debugging shows that it definitely finds three results, but its like I need to stop it between results until the button is pressed to move to the next one. I have tried many things, but have had no luck.
Here is the code (sorry there is quite a bit. The part I am stuck on it near the bottom):

Any help with this would be amazing! Thanks in advance
Solution
Oops! I forgot about this one. I did figure out how to both scroll through each result, then cycle back to the first result when it reaches the end.
I made some changes to the GUI to make it easier for me.
I have completed the script. I updated the 'Go' button and finished the 'Next' button:
$GoBut.Add_Click({
#Establish SQL statements which include a search and a count to verify it completed successfully at the end
$FullScriptSQLEmail = "SELECT * FROM TABLE where email = '$($EmailAddressCombo.text)' and Email_or_file = 'E'"
$FullScriptSQLFile = "SELECT * FROM TABLE where Filename = '$($fileNameCombo.text)' and Email_or_file = 'F'"
$CountSelectE = "SELECT count (*) FROM TABLE where email = '$($EmailAddressCombo.text)' and Email_or_file = 'E'"
$CountSelectF = "SELECT count (*) FROM TABLE where Filename = '$($fileNameCombo.text)' and Email_or_file = 'F'"
$FullScriptCallEmail = @(Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $SQLServer -Database $DB -Query $FullScriptSQLEmail)
$FullScriptCallFile = @(Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $SQLServer -Database $DB -Query $FullScriptSQLFile)
$CountResultE = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $SQLServer -Database $DB -Query $CountSelectE
$CountResultF = Invoke-Sqlcmd -ServerInstance $SQLServer -Database $DB -Query $CountSelectF
$nl = "`r`n"
#Get a count. This works for a 'sanity check', but counts one as zero if you attempt to output it
$countEmail = $FullScriptCallEmail.count
$countFile = $FullScriptCallFile.count
#Bit of a cleanup to prevent errors
$IfExist = Test-Path "./artifacts/*.txt"
if ($IfExist -eq $true){[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('Whoops! Just gonna clear out some stuff to give you a fresh start Bucko.','Oh dear','OK','Error')
$EmailAddressCombo.text=$null
$fileNameCombo.text=$null
$ScriptCount.text=$null
$ResultText.clear()
Remove-Item ".\Artifacts\*.txt"
return}
#Only allow one combobox to be chosen, but must be one
Function Clear_fields{
$EmailAddressCombo.text=$null
$fileNameCombo.text=$null
}
if ($EmailAddressCombo.text.length -ne 0 -and $fileNameCombo.text.length -ne 0){[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! You can only choose an Email OR a File Path, champ!','Uh oh','OK','Error'); Clear_fields; return}
elseif($EmailAddressCombo.text.length -eq 0 -and $fileNameCombo.text.length -eq 0){[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show('Ya gotta select a Report, buddy!','Uh oh','OK','Error'); return}
#Using the Count SQL statment to get a real count and then putting the number of results into a box so you know how many you got
if ($CountResultE.Column1 -gt 0){$ScriptCount.text = $CountResultE.Column1}else
{$ScriptCount.text = $CountResultF.Column1}
#Put all the data into a text file and format it at the same time
if($countEmail -gt 0)
{foreach($i in $FullScriptCallEmail){

#Establish the results file and create a copy. Show the first 18 lines in the result box

@($content = get-content $resultfile)
$ResultText.Lines = $content[0..17]
})
$Nextbut.Add_Click({
$resultfile = "./Artifacts/results.txt"
#Function to delete the top 18 lines of the result file so the next 18 are grabbed. If there is only one set left (counts how many times Script Name appears), then the data in the copy is copied and pasted into the results file, starting it all over again
function del-line {
$Check1 = get-content $resultfile
$Check2 = $Check1 -match "Script Name"
$check2.count
if ($check2.count -eq 1){
$copy = "./Artifacts/result_copy.txt"
get-content $copy | set-content $resultfile
$ResultText.clear()
}else{
$ResultText.clear()
(Get-Content $resultfile | Select-Object -Skip 18) | Set-Content $resultfile
}
}
#Funciton to get the first 18 lines of the result file and display it after using the del-line function
function onClick{
del-line
$LineCount = get-content $resultfile
if (($LineCount.count) -eq 1){
$content = get-content $resultfile
$ResultText.text = $content}
else{
$content = get-content $resultfile
$ResultText.Lines = $content[0..17]
}
}
#Start the loop
onClick
})
If anyone wants the whole script let me know.
I have written 5 GUI scripts to make life easier for my team to:
Add a SQL entry
Remove a SQL entry
Amend a SQL entry
Search for and export a SQL entry or multiple entries
I am no expert and I know it is a little clunky, but works for us. I would think large DB's might cause some strain on resources
