Linking a form with data from Grasshopper

Hi I was playing around with David's EventsExample which opens up a windows form in grasshopper through a vb component (I've tried to search for that discussion in the vb.net forum but I cannot seem to find it anymore).

Is it possible for data in grasshopper to be displayed in the windows form. For example, can a string ("Hello World") fed into a vb component be displayed in the form's textbox/ richtextbox. Thanks.

Hi Jason,

if the VB component has an instance of this window, then you can change the contents of the window. Just make sure the window instance is stored as a static variable. Something like the following:

Private Shared m_window As MySpecialDialog

Public Sub RunScript(ByVal sText As String, blahblahblah)
If (m_window Is Nothing) Then
m_window = New MySpecialDialog()
m_window.Show(RMA.Rhino.RhUtil.RhinoApp().MainWnd())
End If

m_window.lblTheLabel.Text = sText
End Sub
