Need help with script capturing the results from selection box

I found a script online and changed the selection text box to a get command. The list shows from ADUC, I can select the OU and then click OK, the box will close, but I am unable to capture the results. There are 2 variables in the get command that are from another part of the script. Can someone tell me what I am missing.

My goal is to have the selection write to a variable like $result = ------

 

[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Drawing")

$objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$objForm.Text = "Select a Computer"
$objForm.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(400,200)
$objForm.StartPosition = "CenterScreen"

$objForm.KeyPreview = $True
$objForm.Add_KeyDown({if ($_.KeyCode -eq "Enter")
    {$x=$objListBox.SelectedItem;$objForm.Close()}})
$objForm.Add_KeyDown({if ($_.KeyCode -eq "Escape")
    {$objForm.Close()}})

$OKButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$OKButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75,120)
$OKButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75,23)
$OKButton.Text = "OK"
$OKButton.Add_Click({$x=$objListBox.SelectedItem;$objForm.Close()})
$objForm.Controls.Add($OKButton)

$CancelButton = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$CancelButton.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(150,120)
$CancelButton.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(75,23)
$CancelButton.Text = "Cancel"
$CancelButton.Add_Click({$objForm.Close()})
$objForm.Controls.Add($CancelButton)

$objLabel = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Label
$objLabel.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,20)
$objLabel.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(280,20)
$objLabel.Text = "Please select an Organization:"
$objForm.Controls.Add($objLabel)

$objListBox = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
$objListBox.Location = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(10,40)
$objListBox.Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size(375,200)
$objListBox.Height = 80

Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -LDAPFilter '(name=*)' -SearchBase $OUSub -SearchScope OneLevel | Select-Object -ExpandProperty name | ForEach-Object {[void] $objListBox.Items.Add($_)}

$objForm.Controls.Add($objListBox)

$objForm.Topmost = $True

$objForm.Add_Shown({$objForm.Activate()})
[void] $objForm.ShowDialog()

$x

Thank you!

This gets it.

$objListBox.SelectedItem

Faster:

$OUNames=Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -LDAPFilter '(name=*)' -SearchBase $OUSub -SearchScope OneLevel | Select-Object -ExpandProperty name 
$objListBox.Items.AddRange($OUNames)
