iLogic and System.Windows.Forms - allow to interact with Inventor GUI

[j.pavlicek]

Hello,

is possible to let user interact with Inventor GUI when is System.Windows.Forms.Form displayed by iLogic? (By default, a form window is keeping focus in context of Inventor app.)

I think there is probably limitation - no GUI interaction with Inventor when iLogic is running, I'd like to be sure.

How do you start the form? If i remember correct it can be done with Form.ShowDialog() that will block the thread but it can also be started with Form.Show() that will not bock the thread.

If that does not help you could start the form on a new thread.

Set modal parameter to false :

Thank you.

Form.Show()

 instead of

Form.ShowDialog()

does the trick!

Hi, thanks for reply.

Although your answer is not related to System.Windows.Forms, it's good to know it!
