Powershell Script Dropdown List Passes Argument to Expiration Date

Question

Hello,
I am trying to configure this script so that the user has a choice to make.  If the user chooses "FTE", then the script proceeds to the next function.  If the user chooses "Contractor", he is then taken to the expiration date portion
of the script.  How do I configure this script to flow in that manner?
# Edit This item to change the DropDown Values
[array]$DropDownArray = "FTE", "Contractor"
# This Function Returns the Selected Value and Closes the Form
function Return-DropDown {
$Choice = $DropDown.SelectedItem.ToString()
$Form.Close()
#Write-Host $Choice
 $MyChoice = $Choice
 #Write-Host $MyChoice
 $Script:Choice = $DropDown.SelectedItem.ToString()
 $Form.Close()
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") |Out-Null
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing") |Out-Null
$Form = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.width = 300
$Form.height = 150
$Form.Text = ”User Type”
$DropDown = new-object System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox
$DropDown.Location = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,10)
$DropDown.Size = new-object System.Drawing.Size(130,30)
$DropDown.DropDownStyle = "DropDownList" # This style of combobox will prevent blank
# item selection.
ForEach ($Item in $DropDownArray) {
$DropDown.Items.Add($Item) | Out-Null # Added pipe to out-null to prevent index from
# showing up in the console window.
$DropDown.SelectedIndex = 0 # Select the first item by default
$Form.Controls.Add($DropDown)
$DropDownLabel = new-object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$DropDownLabel.Location = new-object System.Drawing.Size(10,10)
$DropDownLabel.size = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,20)
$DropDownLabel.Text = "Items"
$Form.Controls.Add($DropDownLabel)
$Button = new-object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button.Location = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,50)
$Button.Size = new-object System.Drawing.Size(100,20)
$Button.Text = "Select an Item"
$Button.Add_Click({Return-DropDown})
$form.Controls.Add($Button)
$Form.Add_Shown({$Form.Activate()})
$Form.ShowDialog() | Out-Null # out-null to prevent "OK" or "Cancel"
# from appearing in the console window
#Set the expiration date
$ans=Read-Host 'What is the expiration date of this account? (mm-dd-yyyy)'
$expDate=[datetime]$ans
HELP Read-Host -Full
##End of Script
Thanks in advance for your help.

Here is an example of one way to do this in a form:
[void][reflection.assembly]::Load("System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089")
[void][reflection.assembly]::Load("System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
$form1 = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'
$datetimepicker1 = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.DateTimePicker'
$radiobuttonFTE = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton'
$radiobuttonContractor = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton'
$buttonOK = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.Button'
$InitialFormWindowState = New-Object 'System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState'
$radiobuttonContractor_CheckedChanged={
if($radiobuttonContractor.Checked){
$datetimepicker1.Visible=$true
}else{
$datetimepicker1.Visible=$false
$Form_StateCorrection_Load=
#Correct the initial state of the form to prevent the .Net maximized form issue
$form1.WindowState = $InitialFormWindowState
$Form_Cleanup_FormClosed=
#Remove all event handlers from the controls
try
$radiobuttonContractor.remove_CheckedChanged($radiobuttonContractor_CheckedChanged)
$form1.remove_Load($FormEvent_Load)
$form1.remove_Load($Form_StateCorrection_Load)
$form1.remove_FormClosed($Form_Cleanup_FormClosed)
catch [Exception]
$form1.Controls.Add($datetimepicker1)
$form1.Controls.Add($radiobuttonFTE)
$form1.Controls.Add($radiobuttonContractor)
$form1.Controls.Add($buttonOK)
$form1.AcceptButton = $buttonOK
$form1.ClientSize = '508, 262'
$form1.FormBorderStyle = 'FixedDialog'
$form1.MaximizeBox = $False
$form1.MinimizeBox = $False
$form1.Name = "form1"
$form1.StartPosition = 'CenterScreen'
$form1.Text = "Form"
$form1.add_Load($FormEvent_Load)
# datetimepicker1
$datetimepicker1.Location = '160, 91'
$datetimepicker1.Name = "datetimepicker1"
$datetimepicker1.Size = '200, 20'
$datetimepicker1.TabIndex = 3
$datetimepicker1.Visible = $False
# radiobuttonFTE
$radiobuttonFTE.Location = '33, 57'
$radiobuttonFTE.Name = "radiobuttonFTE"
$radiobuttonFTE.Size = '104, 24'
$radiobuttonFTE.TabIndex = 2
$radiobuttonFTE.TabStop = $True
$radiobuttonFTE.Text = "FTE"
$radiobuttonFTE.UseVisualStyleBackColor = $True
# radiobuttonContractor
$radiobuttonContractor.Location = '33, 87'
$radiobuttonContractor.Name = "radiobuttonContractor"
$radiobuttonContractor.Size = '104, 24'
$radiobuttonContractor.TabIndex = 1
$radiobuttonContractor.TabStop = $True
$radiobuttonContractor.Text = "Contractor"
$radiobuttonContractor.UseVisualStyleBackColor = $True
$radiobuttonContractor.add_CheckedChanged($radiobuttonContractor_CheckedChanged)
# buttonOK
$buttonOK.Anchor = 'Bottom, Right'
$buttonOK.DialogResult = 'OK'
$buttonOK.Location = '421, 227'
$buttonOK.Name = "buttonOK"
$buttonOK.Size = '75, 23'
$buttonOK.TabIndex = 0
$buttonOK.Text = "OK"
$buttonOK.UseVisualStyleBackColor = $True
#endregion Generated Form Code
#Save the initial state of the form
$InitialFormWindowState = $form1.WindowState
#Init the OnLoad event to correct the initial state of the form
$form1.add_Load($Form_StateCorrection_Load)
#Clean up the control events
$form1.add_FormClosed($Form_Cleanup_FormClosed)
#Show the Form
$form1.ShowDialog()
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
