Use powershell command in add_click

I do a basic powershell script with a window and a simple button,

On the add_click action i want to execute the "powershell -file $path" command to open another script

in the main the command works, but not when it is in the .add_click({ }) 

    #main
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$form = New-Object Windows.Forms.Form

$btn1 = New-Object Windows.Forms.Button
$btn1.Text = "Button1"
$form.Controls.Add($btn1)

$path = "C:\Users\Administrateur\Desktop\export_vers_test\test_cmd.ps1"
#powershell -file $path #Here it works

$btn1.add_Click({
    write-host $path
    powershell -file $path #Here it works doesn't works
})

$form.ShowDialog()

Can i have some help please?

You need to pass the string path to your powershell function.

Use paramters for that.

Your function:

function Set-ActionOnClic{ 
param($path)
    write-host $path
}

the call in the click event

$btn1.add_Click({
    Set-ActionOnClic -path $path
    #Run the script
    . $Path
})
