PowerShell wrapper function to display a dialog box

I wanted a function that I could pass some text, and it would put that text in a dialog box for the user to click okay. Simple, but I will reuse it I am sure.

 

Function JBMURPHY-DisplayWindowsForm(){
Param([parameter(Mandatory = $true)]$TextToDisplay,
$Title="DefaultTitle")
		[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing") 
		[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
		$objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form 
		$objForm.Text = $Title
		$objForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(600,500) 
		$objForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"
		$OKButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
		$OKButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(250,400)
		$OKButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75,23)
		$OKButton.Text = "OK"
		$OKButton.Add_Click({$x=$objTextBox.Text;$objForm.Close()})
		$objForm.Controls.Add($OKButton)
		$objLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
		$objLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20) 
		$objLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(500,400) 
		$objLabel.Text = $TextToDisplay
		$objForm.Controls.Add($objLabel) 
		$objForm.Topmost = $True
		$objForm.Add_Shown({$objForm.Activate()})
		[void] $objForm.ShowDialog()
}
