Rhino 8 COM interface

Rhino Developer
1

Hello,
Our program uses Rhino via COM interface using C#.
We recently updated from rhino7 to rhino8, but we have some problems.

  1. Size (width) of docking toolbar / toolpanel cannot be changed.
  2. Tooltips on toolbuttons are not displayed.

None of these problems were present in rhino7.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thanks.

@koganezawak - These are Rhino issue, not Rhino development issues, correct?

Can you run Rhino’s SystemInfo command and post the results in a reply?

Thanks,

Thank you for reply.

No, this is a Rhino development issue.
It is not a problem with standalone Rhino.
The problem occurs when executing from the C# COM interface.
Perhaps setting up Rhino as a child of our application causes the problem.
However, with Rhino7 there is no problem.

We have a simple program to check the situation.
We hope you will check it out.

@dale not sure if this is something you guys are working on, but we have the exact same problem with our JewelBeetle software.

We cannot resize the Command Prompt because Rhino is a child of our Application Window.

Currently our users have to run a command to “unparent” the Rhino Window, then adjust the Command Prompt, and then run the same command to reparent the window…

The command prompt panel resized fine in Rhino 7, but obviously 8 is a different animal. :wink:

Looking forward to seeing if there is a solution to this problem.
