How remove System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text: from output of text box

PowerShell
1

sorry if its been asked i couldn’t find answer anywhere, New to this and forms … Im creating a form with text boxs but they always include the “System.Windows.Forms.TextBox, Text:” in front of the value

when i click button i output the value for the “Title” text box on form
$Clicked_Scheduled_Tasks = {
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("$Title")
}
using the PSSCRIPTPAD not sure how to get that off the output values (ive tried $Title.text as other online suggestions but it just adds .text to the end of my value)

is there a setting on form designer im missing?

@Bento
in order to get the value of a text box you need to use the following

New-UDTextbox -Id "test" -Placeholder "Type Required Text" -Type text

New-UDButton -Text "Button"  -onClick {

$Text = (Get-UDElement -Id "test").Value

Show-UDToast -Message "$Text"

}

@wsl2001 - It’s WinForms and not PSU but thanks for jumping in.

@Bento - Give this a go.

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms 
. (Join-Path $PSScriptRoot 'test.designer.ps1')
$Clicked = {
    [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($Textbox.Text)
}
$Form1.ShowDialog()
