Hi, I’m developing a Plug-In in Rhino 8 with Qt framework for UI.
In practice on Rhino window I have some floatable dialogs as reported in attached Image1.
I noticed that randomly when my PlugIn is laoded a black dialog is shown on screen as you can see on the right side of Image1.
I noticed that when this dialog is on screen on task manager below Rhino process there is a new voice called TabPanelDockBarFloatingForm() as reported in Image2.
Do you know what can generate this process?

Hey @Gabriele_Cuccolini,
The black dialog is an Eto Form we use, I don’t know why it would appear like this.
Does this black dialog appear even when you’re not developing your plugin?
Do you remember what actions you took before it appeared?
Hi @CallumSykes, thank you for your answer.
The black dialog appears only when I’m developing my plugin.
About latest question I’m debugging it but this occurs randomly.
I’ll let you know if I found something.
thanks
@Gabriele_Cuccolini are you setting your Form ownership to the mainwindow?, e.g.:
form.Owner = RhinoEtoApp.MainWindow;
Hi Gijs, sorry for my late answer. We don’t use ETO for our UI. We are developing our PlugIn in C++ with Qt framework. We overlay Qt dialogs onto Rhino MFC windows.
Do you know which action generates the TabPanelDockBarFloatingForm usually?
I don’t know exactly, but a bug that was causing these to appear in task manager is fixed recently (fix goes into 8.18)
Thanks for your reply, I’m using version 8.16 but if I click on check now I can’t get the newest version
if you want I can send you a link to the latest internal 8.18 build.
Basically we have the 8.x release, 8.x+1 release candidates that you can download. And the 8.x+2 that is internal
Ok great, thank you very much so I can test it!
