Inventor captures the input from the custom Form

[arsenii_yavtushenko]

Hello,

The issue is that each time I get to create a form with TextBox in it, Inventor keeps capturing the space and enter buttons, thereby opening the identical copy of the already opened form. I looked everywhere but wasn't able to find a solution.

I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express and Inventor 2016, creating the form as an addin (with dll and addin files, not as a separate program).

I would appreciate any help, thank you!

Hi,

I don't understand your question really:

• The issue is that each time I get to create a form with TextBox in it.
  Are you creating a new empty windows form each time or are you creating a custom form from your add-in?

• Inventor keeps capturing the space and enter buttons. What do you mean with this?
• thereby opening the identical copy of the already opened form. What do you mean with this?

Thanks for the answer!

I recorded a video of what I mean. Each time I press Space, the new form pops up. I think it is because Inventor captures the input, and the Space button repeats the last command..

Are you using:

Xform.show()
or
Xform.showdialog()

I have used Show() to show the form, after I've changed it to ShowDialog(), it all started to work properly!

Thank you very much!
