If you're facing an issue where a Label control is being hidden by a PictureBox in a Windows Forms application using PowerShell, you might need to ensure the proper ordering of controls and their z-order in the UI hierarchy.

Here's how you can create a simple Windows Forms application using PowerShell that includes a PictureBox and a Label control:

powershell
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms

# Create a form
$form = New-Object Windows.Forms.Form
$form.Text = "PictureBox and Label Example"
$form.Width = 400
$form.Height = 300

# Create a PictureBox
$pictureBox = New-Object Windows.Forms.PictureBox
$pictureBox.Width = 200
$pictureBox.Height = 200
$pictureBox.Location = New-Object Drawing.Point(50, 50)
# Set PictureBox properties here (e.g., Image, BackgroundImage, etc.)

# Create a Label
$label = New-Object Windows.Forms.Label
$label.Text = "Hello, World!"
$label.Location = New-Object Drawing.Point(100, 100)

# Add controls to the form
$form.Controls.Add($pictureBox)
$form.Controls.Add($label)

# Show the form
$form.ShowDialog()

Make sure that you set the properties like Location, Size, and others appropriately for your specific use case.

In this example, the PictureBox is created first and then the Label. Controls added later will appear on top of controls added earlier. If you're still facing issues where the Label is hidden, you might need to check the z-order (front-to-back order) of your controls and adjust the properties accordingly.

If the issue persists or if you have more complex layout requirements, you might consider adjusting the SendToBack() and BringToFront() methods of controls to control their z-order explicitly.
