Dynamo window should hide when using a Select node. #276

Hey I've just noticed how cool the window in grasshoppper minimizes when you click in the Rhino window to check out the program you just have run. Can you please add that function into dynamo?

That would be really cool.

Hmm I don't think this applies to Revit and Vasari. I wouldn't want Dynamo to minimize if I go and interact with a point or some other geometry.

I agree that is a cool feature for grasshopper, but I also agree that it is problematic for Dynamo where you might want to interact with the elements that you have created.It also doesn't reduce the number of clicks for the user because you'll still have to maximize Dynamo again. You're removing one click from the process only to add another I think. I'm open to suggestions on how to better deal with Dynamo covering your model. I think Revit 2014 has a dockable window API that we might look into.

This behavior would be useful for when you are selecting geometry from the Revit window. I can't quite recall, but I think that's the most common usage with Grasshopper.

Yeah, in Grasshopper when you activate a pick operation from a node it disappears the GH window. This is a pretty useful feature, as by definition, when you activate the Geometry selection part of the node, there is no reason for you to interact with GH and everything needs to be focused on the Rhino window. Makes most sense for working on a single screen, although a little distracting for work on 2 monitors, no? Seems like a reasonable improvement, if coupled with a setting like "hide Dynamo during Selection"
