PowerShell .NET Clickable link

Question

I'm trying to create a link that is clickable, so that the e-mail program opens when the link is clicked. I found some information on how to do this here, but it's tailored to C#.

So far I have a Panel and the actual LinkLabel. But I don't know how to make the event happen that the e-mail client opens up:

Code:

    # Panel X: About
    $PanelAbout = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Panel
    $PanelAbout.Location = $PanelLocation
    $PanelAbout.Size = $PanelSize
    $PanelAbout.TabIndex = 8
    $PanelAbout.BackColor = $PanelBackColor
    $PanelAbout.BorderStyle = 'Fixed3D'
    $Form.Controls.Add($PanelAbout)

    $PanelAboutLinkLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(8,8)
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(300,20)
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.DisabledLinkColor = 'Blue'
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.VisitedLinkColor = 'Red'
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.LinkBehavior = 'HoverUnderline'
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.LinkColor = 'Navy'
    $PanelAboutLinkLabel.Text = [email protected]
    $PanelAbout.Controls.Add($PanelAboutLinkLabel)

Thank you for your help.

You can invoke the add_Click event, and within the event invoke [system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("mailto:[email protected]") which should do the trick, like this:

$PanelAboutLinkLabel.Text = "[email protected]"
$PanelAboutLinkLabel.add_Click({[system.Diagnostics.Process]::start("mailto:[email protected]")})

There is a nice example of this here
