CommandDialog

[0904]

while I was reading this post:

Resizing in ETO forms

The Tables are made up of Rows and Columns. Currently you have 2 rows and and 2 columns. The label and the gridview are in column 1 while the button is in column 2. When using a table layout you can nest additional table layouts since you cant easily span cells. This way you can have a body table with 1 column and multiple rows. if you want a layout closer to your blue mark up then you can add an additional cell after the button that can be your expander. Here’s a quick example. var table_…

I focused on this line of code

var cmd = new CommandDialog(){Size = new Size(800,600)};

but the CommandDialog in Rh8 has been replaced?

Can Eto dialog scroll?

This is where it gets a little tricky as there is a Rhino.UI.dll that adds OS platform specific extensions to RhinoCommons Rhino.UI namespace. These should get loaded by the Python engine for you. Something like this should do the trick for you. import Rhino import Eto def ShowCommandDialog(): cmd = Rhino.UI.Forms.CommandDialog() cmd.Content = Eto.Forms.Label(Text = "Hello World") res = Rhino.UI.EtoExtensions.ShowSemiModal(cmd,Rhino.RhinoDoc.ActiveDoc,Rhino.UI.RhinoEtoApp.MainWindo…

strange, how this thing works, if I search for “CommandDialog” in the guide script editor I don’t
find any arguments, but at the same time the code in the posted link works without problems. . .

old methods that have been replaced by new ones, but which still remain functional in the libraries?

Hi @0904,

I’m not sure I understand the question. But this still works:

import Eto
import Rhino

dialog = Rhino.UI.Forms.CommandDialog()
dialog.Size = Eto.Drawing.Size(800,600)
imageView = Eto.Forms.ImageView()
imageView.Image = Eto.Drawing.Bitmap(r"C:\Windows\System32\FeatureToastBulldogImg.png")
dialog.Content = imageView
dialog.ShowHelpButton = False
dialog.Resizable = True
dialog.ShowModal(Rhino.UI.RhinoEtoApp.MainWindow)

What am I missing?

Hi Dale, thanks for reply

I can’t find anything in the help about the CommandDialog() method
I don’t understand why, either using the search in the EditScript help
in Rh8 but also on the site where the online API guide is located I go to
search for CommandDialog but I have no results:

https://developer.rhino3d.com/api/rhinocommon/

I was able to figure out that CommandDialog() was part of the Rhino.UI family but after a long time

(Maybe it’s me who doesn’t know how to use the guide well?)

to be honest I can’t even find this: Rhino.UI.Forms

@dale, is there a reason why there is no Rhino.UI.Forms entry in the developer docs?

[dale (Dale Fugier)]

@Gijs - I believe the help system generator only processes RhinoCommon.dll, not Rhino.UI.dll.

I don’t believe Rhino.UI.dll is well-commented.
