I'm trying to tell my form "2017Warp" to automatically start a timer named timerUpdate when the form is loaded. I have set the timer to 5 seconds for testing. When the timer expires, I want to perform a click on the form's start button ($buttonStart). My code is below. My issue is I can't get the timer to start.

$form2017WarpDr_Load= {

$ProgressLabel.Text = "This will terminate any active sessions. Press Start to continue"
$progress.Visible = $false

$LabelTime.Text = "Will start automatically in: {0:D1}" -f $TimeoutSeconds
$script:StartTime = (Get-Date).AddSeconds($TimeoutSeconds)
$timerUpdate.Start()
}

$TimeoutSeconds = 5

$timeout_Tick = {
#TODO: Place custom script here
[TimeSpan]$span = $script:StartTime - (Get-Date)

$LabelTime.Text = "Will start automatically in: {0:N0}" -f $span.TotalSeconds

If ($span.TotalSeconds -le 0)
{
$buttonStart.PerformClick()
}
}

If the code above is all of what you have make sure that you have a click event for the buttonStart button.

Start by adding this line first:

$timerUpdate.Enabled = $true
