That’s a pretty ambitious script or part of one from someone new to “write”. There are also many variables in it. Which one(s) are going you issues and what is the error

I am going to guess that your call to your function AddEm is not working in line:

$Button2.Add_Click({ AddEm })

I think this is a scoping issue for $TextBox4. In function AddEm, I would guess its creating a new local variable $TextBox4 and assigning it values, rather than the $script:TextBox4 in the MakeForm script.

Please post this again as powershell code
but variable won’t work? Can you elaborate?

If you post code, please use the ‘Insert Code’ button. Please and thank you!

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING! Read if you're new to the PowerShell forum! Programming & Development

Hi, and welcome to the PowerShell forum! Don’t apologize for being a “noob” or “newbie” or “n00b.” There’s just no need – nobody will think you’re stupid, and the forums are all about asking questions. Just ask! Use a descriptive subject. Don’t say “Need help” or “PowerShell Help”, actually summarize what the problem is. It helps the rest of us keep track of which problem is which. Don’t post massive scripts. We’re all volunteers and we don’t have time to read all that, nor will we copy…

As I told the OP when this was originally posted and removed, this is a bit overly long for this place, although the reposting does seem to be fewer lines, he should whittle down most of the irrelevant sections to illustrate the issue.

What, specifically is not working?

Ditch the gui if you are a newbie. Probably the best advice I can give. Do it without gui and then if it works try and make the gui later

You need to make $TextBox1.Text either a global or script variable My prefered method of doing this is in the button click

	$Button2.Add_Click({ 
		$Global:Text1 = $TextBox1.Text
		$Global:Text2 = $TextBox2.Text
		AddEm 
	})

Then in the AddEm Function

Function AddEm
{
	$TextBox4.Text = $Global:Text1 + " " + $Global:Text2
	$Textbox3.Visible = $true
	$Textbox3.Text = $Global:Text1[0] + "" + $Global:Text2 + "@email.com"
	$Textbox3.Visible = $true
}
