Powershell equivalent of vbscript msgbox

Hi,
 
The closest equivalent I can find to VBScript's msgbox function is this.
 
$objShell = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
$return = $objShell.popup("This is a popup message",10,"Popup Title",33)
if ($return -eq 1)
{
   "Do something"
}
 
Am I missing the point of PowerShell wanting the old msgbox function? The above code does the trick for me, I want the script to stop and flash a question on the screen asking a yes no type answer. Maybe someone knows of a more PowerShell native type method for this task?
 
Cheers

Well, if you want to keep it in the .Net family:

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show("Hello")

The [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox] can be a little tedious to type out every time so if you plan to use it often do this:

$msg = [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]
$msg::Show("Hello")

good one ebgreen,

I have only just started to scratch the surface of dotnet so this side is all a wonder to me at the moment.

Here are another couple I found
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::`
LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.VisualBasic")
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::`
MsgBox("Do you agree?", "YesNoCancel,Question", "Question")
 
and
 
#System Tray Balloon Popup
     #The popup mesage
     $Message="This is a message shown in system tray balloon popup"
 
     #popup title
     $Title="Attention $env:username"
 
     # Valid Message types "Info" "Error" "Warning" "None"
     $MessageType="Info"
    
     # The number of seconds to display the message.
     [int]$duration=60
    #load Windows Forms and drawing assemblies
    [reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Windows.Forms") | Out-Null
    [reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Drawing") | Out-Null
 
    #define an icon image pulled from PowerShell.exe
    $icon=[system.drawing.icon]::ExtractAssociatedIcon((join-path $pshome powershell.exe))
    $notify = new-object system.windows.forms.notifyicon
    $notify.icon = $icon
    $notify.visible = $True
 
    #define the tool tip icon based on the message type
    switch ($messagetype) {
     "Error" { $messageIcon=[system.windows.forms.tooltipicon]::Error}
     "Info" {$messageIcon=[system.windows.forms.tooltipicon]::Info}
     "Warning" {$messageIcon=[system.windows.forms.tooltipicon]::Warning}
     Default {$messageIcon=[system.windows.forms.tooltipicon]::None}
    }
    $notify.showballoontip($duration,$Title,$message,$MessageIcon)
