.SYNOPSIS

Create a read-only WPF window containing a text block showing a message, with or without a title.

.DETAILS

Most attributes of the window such as text colour, size, font can be controlled via parameters

.PARAMETER message

The message to display in the dialogue

.PARAMETER title

The title for the dialogue. If specified as an empty string or $null, no title bar is shown

.PARAMETER fullScreen

The dialogue with cover the entire screen (primary monitor)

.PARAMETER screenPercentage

The percentage of the screen resolution to make the dialogue dimensions

.PARAMETER backgroundColour

The colour for the solid background specified as R,G,B values

.PARAMETER textColour

The colour for the text specified as R,G,B values

.PARAMETER fontSize

The font size to use

.PARAMETER fontFamily

The font family to use

.PARAMETER showForSeconds

Show the dialogue for this number of seconds. The default is to show until dismissed

.PARAMETER noClickToClose

A left mouse click on the dialogue will not close the dialogue

.PARAMETER position

The position on the screen to place the dialogue

.PARAMETER notTopmost

Do not make the dialogue system modal

.PARAMETER noClose

Do not allow the window to be closed. It will only close if -showForSeconds is specified and that number of seconds has been reached

.EXAMPLE

& '.\Message user session.ps1' -message "Please logoff and back on" -title "Message from $env:Username at $(Get-Date -Format G)" -noclose

Display a popup in the bottom right hand corner of the session with the given text and title. This popup cannot be closed.

.EXAMPLE

& '.\Message user session.ps1' -message "Please logoff and back on" -position Center -screenPercentage 50 -showForSeconds 60 -fontSize 48

Display a popup in the center of the screen in the user's session which is 50% of the screen resolution with the given text, in 48 point, but with no title.
This popup can closed by clicking on the X, pressing Alt F4 or left clicking the popup.
The popup will close automatically after 60 seconds.

.CONTEXT

Session (user session)

.NOTES

Must run in the user's session (or ControlUp console) in order for the WPF code to display a dialogue
