Create a Powershell ListBox Sticky Notes Backup Utility - powershell

I'm building a PowerShell utility that will backup and restore sticky notes using a powershell script to pull the Get-localuser command from a local device into the list box. From list box choose the user profile and it initiates a comand to fetch a file. What im researching is after you select a user in list box, it sends a command to copy a file Thank you.
Example: Admin is the user:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\users\Admin\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\pause copy plum.sqlite-wal cd C:\Users\Admin\Documents\SN Utility

If I understand your question correctly, i believe you want to replace the line
[void] $listBox.Items.AddRange(#("user1", "user2", "user3"))
with
Get-Localuser | select -expand name | foreach {[void] $listbox.Items.Add($_)}
or
$listbox.Items.AddRange((get-localuser | select -expand name))

PowerShell GUI containing multiple ListBoxes

I am trying to modify the code found in the Microsoft Documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/multiple-selection-list-boxes?view=powershell-7.2) to contain 2 ListBoxes: One single select, and one multiple selected.
This issue is only listBox2 is showing up.

{
$x = $listBox1.SelectedItem
$y = $listBox2.SelectedItems
Write-Host "Single Item Selected" $x
Write-Host "Multiple Items Selected" $y
}
P.S. Can someone please make a new tag for PowerShell-GUI
istbox1 doesn't exist....change:
$form.Controls.Add($listBox1)
to
$form.Controls.Add($listBox)
Or rename the object to $listbox1

Add an existing Progressbar into an GUI

I have writen an simple GUI for my command to display. When i press a button my script searches for matches in a Log File and while doing that it displays a Progressbar, but it only displays it in the ISE Window not in the GUI itself. How can i Display it in the GUI.
I found New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar when searching for a way.
But in the examples i only found how they do new Bars not add existings that only exist inside of a Button.

There is a ProgressBar control available which you can use:
System.Windows.Forms.ProgressBar
See https://mcpmag.com/articles/2014/02/18/progress-bar-to-a-graphical-status-box.aspx for an example
There is also a way of displaying a progressbar inside the taskbar button but you need to deploy a dll from the Microsoft WindowsAPICodePack so that it's available to the person running the script. If you're interested I'll dig out the details
