WinForms ​

The WinForms host embeds Godot in a Windows Forms window with a Pause/Resume button. It runs on Windows.

Godot reports Engine.is_embedded_in_editor() as true for this host; account for this in scripts that check editor embedding.

Use It ​

From your Godot project directory:

bash
dnx 2dog add --winforms
dotnet run --project MyGame.winforms

Customize It ​

Edit the generated form to add controls. Its UI thread runs Godot frames, so event handlers can access the scene tree through _engine.Tree. See the showcase host.

Controls cannot overlap the game window. Use Avalonia for overlays or a cross-platform UI.

See WinForms Configuration for build and publish settings.
