Mouse event handling(double click) in Rhino, without windows form

Rhino Developer

mouse event handling(double click) is not working without windows form. Double click is not recognized. I have tried with timer. Timer works really cool in windows form ad with buttons. But without windows form, I am unable to use timer.
All good when i am using windows form… but without windows form i am not able to trigger double click … i do not want to use windows form for this particular solution.

It seems RhinoCommon has a MouseCallback class. If you inherit from this, enable it and override the OnDoubleClick method, you should be getting double clicks without using Forms.

THANKS MENNO!

OH JUST THIS BIT OF CODE IS WORKING , i DO NOT NEED TO IMPLEMENT TIMER AGAIN…
protected override void OnMouseDoubleClick(Rhino.UI.MouseCallbackEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
run = false;
//MessageBox.Show(“you double clicked left mouse button !!”);
}
base.OnMouseDoubleClick(e);
}

Hi Menno, Do you know how to implement keyboard event without using windows form.?. I have used keyboard event handling via windows form but never used without a form.
If you have any idea, please let me know.
Many thanks !

Are you only on Windows? In that case, it is possible to use the “native” windows keyboard events. I have an example, will post tomorrow.

i know how to trigger key event via windows.form, but for this project, i am not able to use windows form.So i need to know other alternatives.

I need to implement “0” and “-” keyboard key to two actions in rhino plugin. Do I need to use hooks? I have no idea without windows form . But for this particular task I am not able to use windows.form

Please find attached an example of using the keyboard callback. It is indeed using hooks. (remove .txt extension of course)
