Hi,
I have been butchering a Rhino example to have a play with making Eto forms but I cannot get the list box to populate with the items to make the selection from. I have tried many variations and have come to a halt, can anyone advise in baby steps as this is all new to me.
My goal is to select which data set of points to select in Rhino model space, select the points and then sort the data by either ptname, X,Y or Z values and write to a file. I can do this in my python script which at present is not linked to any form so the UI is the last bit to do. As I am new to Python I am not really sure if I went about the whole process in the right order but I do at least have a script that works even if it is not as neat as I would like.

script instead of being used as a module by some other python script
This allows us to use the module which ever way we want.
