public sealed class SoWin : SoNetBase

Public NotInheritable Class SoWin

The SoWin type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	AddColormapToShell	This method is included for portability only.
	CreateSimpleErrorDialog(Control, String, String)	Calls CreateSimpleErrorDialog(widget, dialogTitle, errorStr1, (System.String ^)nullptr).
	CreateSimpleErrorDialog(Control, String, String, String)	Convenience routine which brings a simple Windows error dialog box displaying the given error string(s) and window title.
	DoIdleTasks	If you use OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWin.MainLoop() or (), Inventor automatically calls this when the Windows message queue is empty.
	Equals	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Exit	Calls Exit(System.Int32(0)).
	Exit(Int32)	Tells the main event loop to exit with a return code.
	Finish	Frees Open Inventor's internal static memory allocations.
	GetErrorConsole	Returns the VSG error console.
	GetHashCode	Overrides GetHashCode(). (Inherited from SoNetBase.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetWidgetSize	Convenience routine to get the size of the given window.
	Hide	Convenience routine to hide the passed window handle.
	Init	Obsolete.
	Init(Control)	This alternate form of init allows the application to initialize Windows. The passed control should be the top level control.
	IsInitialized
	MainLoop	Enters the main event loop and waits until OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWin.Exit(System.Int32) is called or a WM_QUIT message is sent to the message queue.
	SetWidgetSize	Convenience routine to set the size of the given window.
	Show	Convenience routine to show the passed window handle.
	ThreadInit	Obsolete. Use this method if you need to use multi-threading with Open Inventor.
	ThreadInit(Control)	Obsolete. Use this method if you need to use multi-threading with Open Inventor.
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)

Remarks

The OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWin class initializes Open Inventor for use with Microsoft Windows. () must be called in order for Open Inventor to work properly with Windows. OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWin.Finish() should be called to clean up static memory allocations.

OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWin.MainLoop() must be called in order for extension device messages to be passed to Open Inventor render areas. The other methods are convenience functions.

Refer to the OIV.Inventor.Win.SoWinComponent reference pages for examples on how this class should be used when using Open Inventor Windows components.
