Count Down Timer in a form

PowerShell Help
1

Am trying to do a simple popup window with a count down timer. But the timer never does the countdown instead its just showing as static data as 00:00. Here is the code:

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

Create Form

$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.Text = “Windows Restart”
$Form.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(415, 200)
$form.ClientSize = ‘415,200’
$Form.StartPosition = “CenterScreen”
$Form.FormBorderStyle = “FixedDialog”
$Form.MaximizeBox = $false
$Form.MinimizeBox = $false

Message Label

$MessageLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$MessageLabel.Text = “To ensure your computer has the latest security updates thisn" + "system will restart at 2:00 a.m. Please make sure to save yourn” +
“documents and close any open applications.nn” +
“To defer the restart, please click on Exit Without Restart.”
$MessageLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(25, 15)
$MessageLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(385, 88)
$MessageLabel.TabIndex = 1
$MessageLabel.Font = ‘Segoe UI, 10pt’
$Form.Controls.Add($MessageLabel)

Countdown Text Label (normal font)

$CountdownTextLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$CountdownTextLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(204, 125)
$CountdownTextLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(115, 25)
$CountdownTextLabel.TabIndex = 2
$CountdownTextLabel.Font = ‘Segoe UI, 10pt’

$CountdownTextLabel.Text = “Time remaining:”
$Form.Controls.Add($CountdownTextLabel)

Countdown Value Label (bold font)

$CountdownLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$CountdownLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(305, 125)
$CountdownLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(60, 25)
$CountdownLabel.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font(“Segoe UI”, 10, [System.Drawing.FontStyle]::Bold)
$CountdownLabel.Text = ‘00:00:00’
$Form.Controls.Add($CountdownLabel)

Exit Button

$ExitButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$ExitButton.Text = “Exit Without Restart”
$ExitButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(140, 165)
$ExitButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(125, 25)
$ExitButton.TabIndex = 4
$ExitButton.Font = ‘Segoe UI, 09pt’
$ExitButton.UseCompatibleTextRendering = $true
$ExitButton.Add_Click({ $Form.Close() })
$Form.Controls.Add($ExitButton)

Restart Button

$RestartButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$RestartButton.Text = “Restart Now”
$RestartButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(280, 165)
$RestartButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(125, 25)
$RestartButton.TabIndex = 5
$RestartButton.Font = ‘Segoe UI, 09pt’
$RestartButton.UseCompatibleTextRendering = $true
$RestartButton.Add_Click({ Start-Process “shutdown” -ArgumentList “/r /t 0” })
$Form.Controls.Add($RestartButton)

Timer and Countdown

$RemainingSeconds = 3600
$Timer = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Timer
$Timer.Interval = 1000
$Timer.Add_Tick({

$RemainingSeconds--
$TimeSpan = [TimeSpan]::FromSeconds($RemainingSeconds)

# Update the label using BeginInvoke method
$Form.BeginInvoke([Action]{
    $CountdownLabel.Text = $TimeSpan.ToString("hh\:mm\:ss")
})

if ($RemainingSeconds -le 0) {
    $Timer.Stop()
    Start-Process "notepad.exe" 
}

})

Start the Timer after initializing the form

$Form.Add_Shown({ $Timer.Start() })

Show the form

$Form.ShowDialog()

hello. Before anyone comments on this can you edit your original post and use the Preformatted Text option to format your code appropriately? This helps with both readability, and maintaining syntax in case anyone wants to copy/paste it.
