PowerShell GUI - Move line from TextBox 1 to TextBox 2-CodePudding

I am developing a script that will ping multiple computers and move the ones that were online to another inputbox. The script below works to ping multiple computers, but I am not sure how to move the computer name to the next inputbox($Inputbox_success).

Example:

Computers	Successfully Ping
Computer 1
Computer 2
Computer 3

After I click the INSTALL (or PING) button. If the computer was online and ping was successful, it will move to the Successful InputBox.

Computers	Successfully Ping
	Computer 1
Computer 2
Computer 3

Thank you

Santiago, this is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much! But I cannot replicate it on my own script. I think I am missing something, but not sure what. The dropdown menu was just an idea I had previously, but I do not think I will use it. I just want the buttons. Could you please take a look at my script? If the ping is successful, it does not move it to the Success Inputbox.

Thank you soo much for all your help. I really appreciate it!
