    dialog.ShowModal(Rhino.UI.RhinoEtoApp.MainWindow)

Any window which is shown modally will block the underlying (parent) window. You need to show a modeless form.

Thanks David,

changed forms.Dialog to forms.Form (modeless) and it works.
Do you have also a hint how to keep the window all time on top of all other windows?

self.Topmost = True is the solution
