RhinoCommon Rhino 6 Window Owner

Hi,

correct me if I am wrong, but the old ways of setting up the Window Owner of a Form (Modal or Modeless) are obsolete, right? In this example:

github.com

mcneel/rhino-developer-samples/blob/6/rhinocommon/cs/SampleCsWinForms/Commands/SampleCsModelessFormCommand.cs

using System.Windows.Forms;
using Rhino;
using Rhino.Commands;
using RhinoWindows;

namespace SampleCsWinForms.Commands
{
  [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Guid("a8b8b5d1-1b26-4ef0-941f-801e0f9b3323")]
  public class SampleCsModelessFormCommand : Command
  {
    private Forms.SampleCsModelessForm Form { get; set; }

    public override string EnglishName
    {
      get { return "SampleCsModelessForm"; }
    }

    protected override Result RunCommand(RhinoDoc doc, RunMode mode)
    {
      if (null == Form)

This file has been truncated. show original

…we have RhinoWindows upstairs, which is unavailable now I think…RhinoApp.MainWindow is obsolete…RhinoWinApp is not there…

Am I missing something or is there a new way to define the Window Owner? (Otherwise, my modeless dialog “flies out of Rhino”)

Thanks!

Hi @dimcic,

I’m confused. Does this sample not work for you?

The project referencesRhinoWindows.dll because WinForms is Windows-only.

Hi Dale,

sorry…I assumed for some reason that the example has to be updated…and didn`t know I had to add the RhinoWindows.dll Reference…once I did, it was all there and it worked normally.

Thanks!
