I’m new to playing around with Eto Forms and Rhino UI and I want to place an Eto Web View in a Rhino Panel. I’m scripting in python.
By modifying a McNeel sample python file, I am showing a webview in a modeless Eto form. This is the file attached and code sample below.
Now, I would like to host the webview in a Rhino UI panel so that it can be docked while the user is working in Rhino. I saw the Rhino.UI.Panels.RegisterPanel( … ) method as pointed out on the forms here Add Panels - Rhino Developer - McNeel Forum. But I can’t figure out how to get this to work. The first argument it wants is a plugin and I don’t know how to make the eto webview into a ‘plugin’, you can see my failed attempt commented out in the code.
EtoModelessHTML_02.py (3.5 KB)
Thanks in advance for the help!
