PowerShell: WinForm GIF Player for Fun

I just notice I forgotten to blog about this experience. It may seem useless, but I had a fun Sunday spending on it.

Anyway, here is the code for it, you could improve it.

*Note: Highlighted in YELLOW needs you to change it!

#Create a form

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form

$Form.AutoSize = $true

$Form.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"

Write-Host "Running GIF Player ..."



#Adding some text

$Form.Text = "GIF Player"

$Label = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label

$Label.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(0,0)

$Label.AutoSize = $true

$Label.Font = New-Object System.Drawing.Font ("Comic Sans MS",20, [System.Drawing.Fontstyle]::Bold)

$Label.Text = "Hello Sunday ~"

$Form.Controls.Add($Label)



#Get the local saved GIF

$gifBox = New-Object Windows.Forms.picturebox

$gifLink= (Get-Item -Path '<filepath>\cathello.gif')

$img = [System.Drawing.Image]::fromfile($gifLink)

$gifBox.AutoSize = $true

$gifBox.Image = $img

$Form.Controls.Add($gifbox)



#Execute the form

$Form.ShowDialog()
