Hide grasshopper window but still have solver active

Is it possible from an external python script to enable the grasshopper solver, open a gh document, but hide the window so all you see is rhino with the results of the grasshopper network?

grasshopper player is similar to what you are asking for

Grasshopper player with macro to call out command with Alias?

Hi guys, i have been using this grasshopper player and it is freaking awesome. just one question, is there a way to put the grasshopper player in the macro to automatically open a grasshoppercode in a specific folder in my computer with specific name? so i can then map the command into alias / put it on the toolbar. thank you!

Hello, I tried out grasshopper player, and ran into an issue that might be with some of my assumptions. Previously since the grasshopper window was open, I was able to query the open document, and get the components in the document. When using grasshopper player there isn’t an open document, so I am not totally sure how to get which components are accessible.

I currently am querying components by name, so I don’t need to know the guids to hook them into a UI, but maybe that isn’t the recommended workflow. If you can advise on recommended path to connect a grasshopper network that is run via the grasshopper player to a UI that would be great.
Thank you!

Currently I am getting a specific component via

server = Grasshopper.GH_InstanceServer.DocumentServer
objects = server[0].Objects
# components
for obj in objects:
    attr = obj.Attributes
        if name in attr.PathName:
            return obj

So, some progress here. I have a complete Human UI controlled GH script that is compiled by Rhino Script Compiler into a .rhp and .yak package: [Image 20210828004] This launches from the Rhino command line with ‘KaroroCAD’, launch is a bit slow, I need to look at some sort of loading screen to indicate this is all going OK. [Image 20210828003] Once launched, all the controls I need work thru the HumanUI interface. I use text boxes with confirm buttons as the main control - the confirm butt…

I’ve made some progress in launching GH headless from a python script and controlling the GH definition using HumanUI.
