Python progress info through Rhino Console or Winforms

hi,

i have a python component which takes some time to compute, and i want some feedback - think progress bar.

Text would be enough, and i can Write to the rhino console with RhinoApp.WriteLine, and update with RhinoApp.Wait(), but grasshopper looses focus in a weird way after the component is done - namely i can't pan the gh-viewport anymore (can zoom though), unless i try to pan while the component is calculating - then it stays.

I guess it has something to do with focus - any idea how to give it back to Gh after the last RhinoApp.Wait?

My other try was with Ironpython Winforms (through clr) - works fine, but as soon as i close the form, grasshopper closes too, and won't reopen (hides)

i guess there is some simple way to dispose of the winform once the component is done, but i haven't found it (also i always have to restart, reload everything each time i fail)

Are there any other (simpler?) ways to get some kind of feedback while Gh is working?

Thanks
