Try prepending commands with a hyphen as it then surpresses dialogs.

 

ie. rs.Command("-print  enter enter", false);

 

Rhino help on this topic below.  I haven't tested this myself, but hope it helps.

 

Cheers,

(hyphen)

Suppress dialog box.

All commands are now scriptable at the command line (even commands that have dialog boxes by default). To suppress the dialog box and use command-line options, prefix the command name with a hyphen (-).

Hi Michael,

in addition, these are two supported methods to call macros from .Net (C# and Vb.Net):

Using the Old .Net SDK:

• RhUtil.RhinoApp().RunScript("-_Render", 1);
  // 0 turns off echo where possible

Using RhinoCommon:

• Rhino.RhinoApp.RunScript("-_Render", true);
  // false turns off echo where possible

As Jon says, the - hyphenized versions of a command, where available, remove dialog boxes. The _ underscore allows to use the English version of command names also on localized systems.

Using the Microsoft-provided RhinoScript wrapper interface to call through .Net might work but it not recommended.

I hope this helps,

- Giulio

//RhinoScript4.RhinoScriptClass test = new RhinoScript4.RhinoScriptClass();
    Rhino.DocObjects.RhinoObject rh_obj = doc.Objects.Find(guuid_in);
    object rr = Rhino.RhinoApp.GetPlugInObject("RhinoScript");
    RhinoScript4.IRhinoScript rs = (RhinoScript4.IRhinoScript) rr;

    rs.EnableRedraw(false);

    rs.Command("_SelID " + guuid_in, true);
    rs.Command("_Zoom _Selected");
    rs.Command("_SelNone", true);
    // rs.Command("!-print ", true);
    rs.Command("-Zoom Factor 0.8", true);
    rs.Command("Pan UP", true);


    rs.EnableRedraw(true);
