# Create the Window Object
$Reader=(New-Object System.Xml.XmlNodeReader $XAMLWindow)
$Window=[Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load( $Reader )

# TextChanged Event Handler for Input 
$TextboxInput = $Window.FindName("Input")
$TextboxInput.add_TextChanged.Invoke({
    $ComputerName = $TextboxInput.Text
    $ButtonGetService.IsEnabled = $ComputerName -ne ''
})

# Click Event Handler for ButtonClose
$ButtonClose = $Window.FindName("ButtonClose")
$ButtonClose.add_Click.Invoke({
    $Window.Close();
})

# Click Event Handler for ButtonGetService
$ButtonGetService = $Window.FindName("ButtonGetService")
$ButtonGetService.add_Click.Invoke({
    $ComputerName = $TextboxInput.text.Trim()
    try{
        Get-Service -ComputerName $computerName | Out-GridView -Title "Get-Service on $ComputerName"
    }catch{
        [System.Windows.MessageBox]::Show($_.exception.message,"Error",[System.Windows.MessageBoxButton]::OK,[System.Windows.MessageBoxImage]::Error)
    }
})

# Open the Window
$Window.ShowDialog() | Out-Null

This creates a dialog window which allows the user to select a computer name, then will display a table of services and their statuses on that computer.
This example uses WPF rather than Windows Forms.
