Any plans to implement the HTMLBox method for Python?

I’ve never used this method in the past, but our internal software developers (can’t believe we’re now big enough to have a department for this!) is asking to link their apps, which run in browsers, into some specific Rhino functionality. Currently we can proceed with RhinoScript, but since almost all of my scripts are now ported to Python, it would be nice to continue their development in Python.

Are there any plans to implement the HTMLBox method for Python in V6?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi @DanBayn,

Unlike RhinoScript, you can create UI in Python using Eto, WinForms, and WPF. So there is probably no need to provide an HtmlBox equivalent method.

For example, here is a WinForm with an embedded WebBrowser control example:

Hi Dale,

This makes a lot of sense. I will pass this suggestion along to our programmers and let them run with it.

Thanks,

Dan
