ViewportControl and floating window

[corbane]

I am experimenting RhinoInside with the WinFormsApp example.

The RhinoWindows.Forms.Controls.ViewportControl behaves unexpectedly.

It opens floating windows saved in the file. Being able to have floating windows is good enough, but it uses the inputs entry as Rhino. We can select an object with a left click and translation comes with ctrl/right click.

I don't understand this bug report. Could you elaborate on what the issue is?

[corbane]

Yes of course,

when we open a Rhino file saved without floating windows in a ViewportControl, it defines its own event handler

when we open a Rhino file saved with floating windows in a ViewportControl it defines its own event handler, and, it opens a floating window at the dimensions save in the file. For this second window, it keeps the Rhinoceros event managers.

	ViewportControl	flotting viewport
Selectable object	no	Left click
can move objects	no	yes
Translation view	Left right	Maj + Left click
Rotation view	Left click	Left click
Zoom view	no	Ctrl/Alt + Left click
Middle click	nothing	Error "No toolbar or group named 'default.Popup' found to pop-up"
Contextual menu	no	yes
Can access to the Rhino properties page	no	yes (I changed the persistent settings of Rhino with this control)
Shortcuts	no	yes (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+S works)

ViewportControl Should Not Open Floating Windows. Or else, both must have the same event handlers. we currently have the first non editable and the second editable (Rhino settings included)

@corbane Do you still have the code? I don't know about you but I would expect the viewport control to always behave like described in the "floating viewport" column.

/!\ Edit, after having loaded the file, run this command RhinoApp.RunScript(@"-NewFloatingViewport Projection=CopyActive Perspective", true);

Hello @tongbong, My code is https://github.com/mcneel/rhino.inside/tree/master/DotNet/WinFormsApp

I have a doubt with RhinoApp.RunScript Indeed, in Rhino, there is no problem with a floating window, but this is not the behavior of the Rhino floating viewport.

In the screenshot you can see a classic "Windows.Forms" that embed Rhino.Inside and RhinoWindows.Forms.Controls.ViewportControl (RhinoWindows.dll).

When we open a Rhino file in this standalone ViewportControl. if this file is saved with a Rhino floating viewport, a floating viewport is also opened with the standalone window . The second column corresponds to the events of this floating viewport.

Thanks @corbane for reacting quickly.

I understand that in your case the floating viewport is saved inside the file. With the command I run, I feel I suffer the same behavior than you. May I ask what you are trying to achieve / or goals ?

In my case, I am looking for a full featured 3D viewer with a strong 3D geometric kernel to display data inside a standalone application. And I see Rhino Inside as a promising package.
