HI All,

We’ve been working on a help guide to get Python scripters started on creating dialog with Eto in Rhino 6 and Rhino 5 for Mac.

If this topic is interesting to you, please spend the time to review and give us your feedback.

Thanks,

@scottd,

could you please add examples on how to create a CheckListBox and a ListBox containing entries with color swatches in front of the list items ?

An example creating a ComboBox with color swatches would also be welcome:

Hi @clement,

The ColorPicker lets you pick a color using the standard platform color picker. So, no, there is no way to limit the displayed items.

Here is a sample that shows a list of colors in a dropdown control.

Does this help?
