Drag and drop powershell file hashing script

PowerShell drag and drop, then hash the file that was dropped onto the form.
I can't figure out where to add something like "$fileHash = Get-FileHash -path $file -A SHA256" and then append to the file path.
The code below shows the file path when dragging a file, I want to hash that same file and add it's hash to the end
c:\some\file\path\here.txt, F70363B8AE41B113AC96F9762DB46262B8F436B29A4B7D1E2A3ADAB101E75299
I may further call a VirusTotal API call to look the hash up and append more info on the end later.
Right now all I need is the hash of the file(s) that get drug onto the form.

[void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")
$Form1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form1.ClientSize = "391, 190"
$Form1.TopMost = $true
$TextBox1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$TextBox1.Anchor = "Top,Bottom,Left,Right"
$TextBox1.Location = "12, 12"
$TextBox1.Multiline = $true
$TextBox1.ScrollBars = "Both"
$TextBox1.Size = "368, 166"
$TextBox1.AllowDrop = $true
$TextBox1.add_DragEnter({FNprocess($_)})
$Form1.Controls.Add($TextBox1)
function FNprocess( $object ){
  foreach ($file in $object.Data.GetFileDropList()){
    $TextBox1.AppendText($file+[char]13+[char]10)
  }
}
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::Run($Form1)

Just use the function where you're filling the text box.
LoadWithPartialName is somewhat dated. btw:

Add-Type -AssemblyName "System.Windows.Forms"
$Form1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form1.ClientSize = "391, 190"
$Form1.TopMost = $true
$TextBox1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
$TextBox1.Anchor = "Top,Bottom,Left,Right"
$TextBox1.Location = "12, 12"
$TextBox1.Multiline = $true
$TextBox1.ScrollBars = "Both"
$TextBox1.Size = "368, 166"
$TextBox1.AllowDrop = $true
$TextBox1.add_DragEnter({FNprocess($_)})
$Form1.Controls.Add($TextBox1)

Function FNprocess($object) {
	ForEach ($file in $object.Data.GetFileDropList()){
		$hash = (Get-FileHash -Path $file -A SHA256).Hash
		$TextBox1.AppendText("$($file), $($hash)`r`n")
	}
}
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::Run($Form1)
