I'm working on a PowerShell script and want to show users a dynamic message box that displays the current step as they progress through the script. I found some sample code online that sets this up, which includes defining steps and creating a Windows Form with a label and progress bar. However, I'm not entirely sure how to integrate this into my script. Specifically, what command do I need to use so that as my script runs, it updates the message box with the relevant step? For example, if I'm connecting to a database, where do I place the code to show that specific message?

If your goal is just to show information, a balloon tip might be simpler. Adding a log file to mark the progress could also really help with debugging. You can add logging by using something like this in your script:
```powershell
$TransPath = "C:tempProcess_Log"
Start-Transcript -Path "$TransPathProcess_$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd_HHmmss').log"
# your code here
Stop-Transcript
```
```
This way, you have a complete log of what happened at each step, and if something goes wrong, you'll have the error codes recorded.
