generative modeling for Rhino

How can I use Grasshoper externally ?

I am just a beginner and GH seems like a really cool tool.

I want to use GH from with my own (C#) application. I can interact with Rhino via their interfaces and can instantiate GH this way. But how can I tell GH to simply "load a ghx file" without using the GH GUI? My hope is that after loading the ghx, the rest of the interaction can be done via input text files.

Its almost unbelivable that a software of this scale has no api/command line/COM/something to allow such an operation.

Did I miss something?

(I even tried looking for the GH window and "pressing CTRL-O" via the SendKey command but events seem to get to the Rhino window after all.

Giulio Ok, I take care of it ASAP.

How do you find the GUID for a parameter.  I have a very similar use case but it not clear where to access the data outside of the SDK.

Update: Looks like it's all there when you save as .ghx

You can also Copy it and examine the xml in the clipboard.
