Dialog Box

Rhino.Inside CPython
1

Hi!

I have a question about dialog box.

Why in this example the form is in the background in relation to Rhino?

How do I make it stay in the foreground?

import scriptcontext as sc
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino
from System.Drawing import Bitmap
import System
import System.Windows.Forms
import System.Drawing
import Rhino.RhinoApp as Rapp


class Form1(System.Windows.Forms.Form):
	def __init__(self):
		self.InitializeComponent() 
		self.ClientSize = System.Drawing.Size(100, 100)
		self.CenterToScreen()
		self.MaximizeBox = False
		self.MinimizeBox = False

	def InitializeComponent(self):
		self.SuspendLayout()
		
		################## LABELS ##################
		

		
		self._button = System.Windows.Forms.Button()
		self._button.Text = "Create"
		self._button.Click += self.ClickButton
		self.Controls.Add(self._button)
		
		
		self.KeyPreview = True
		self.Text = "Test"
		self.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow
		self.KeyDown += self.OnKeyDownEvent
		self.Closing += self.OnClosingEvent
		self.ResumeLayout(False)
		# Linkbutton click handler

	
	def ClickButton(self, sender, e):
		Rhino.RhinoApp.RunScript("-_Line 0,0,0 10,10,10 _Sellast", False)
		print rs.SelectedObjects()
		rs.UnselectAllObjects()
		
		
	def OnKeyDownEvent(self, sender, e):
		finish = e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Escape
		
		if finish:
			
			self.Close()
		e.Handled = True
		
	def OnClosingEvent(self, sender, e):
		Rhino.Input.Custom.GetBaseClass.PostCustomMessage("exit")


def Test():
	f = Form1()
	f.Show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
	Test()

Hey Aniger,

To keep the form in the foreground you can use the TopMost property:

import scriptcontext as sc
import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs
import Rhino
from System.Drawing import Bitmap
import System
import System.Windows.Forms
import System.Drawing
import Rhino.RhinoApp as Rapp


class Form1(System.Windows.Forms.Form):
	def __init__(self):
		self.InitializeComponent() 
		self.ClientSize = System.Drawing.Size(100, 100)
		self.CenterToScreen()
		self.TopMost = True
		self.MaximizeBox = False
		self.MinimizeBox = False

	def InitializeComponent(self):
		self.SuspendLayout()
		
		################## LABELS ##################
		

		
		self._button = System.Windows.Forms.Button()
		self._button.Text = "Create"
		self._button.Click += self.ClickButton
		self.Controls.Add(self._button)
		
		
		self.KeyPreview = True
		self.Text = "Test"
		self.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.FixedToolWindow
		self.KeyDown += self.OnKeyDownEvent
		self.Closing += self.OnClosingEvent
		self.ResumeLayout(False)
		# Linkbutton click handler

	
	def ClickButton(self, sender, e):
		Rhino.RhinoApp.RunScript("-_Line 0,0,0 10,10,10 _Sellast", False)
		print rs.SelectedObjects()
		rs.UnselectAllObjects()
		
		
	def OnKeyDownEvent(self, sender, e):
		finish = e.KeyCode == System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Escape
		
		if finish:
			
			self.Close()
		e.Handled = True
		
	def OnClosingEvent(self, sender, e):
		Rhino.Input.Custom.GetBaseClass.PostCustomMessage("exit")


def Test():
	f = Form1()
	f.Show()

if __name__ == "__main__":
	Test()

Is there a way to keep the dialog box belonging only to Rhino?
