selection.pickpoint after closing a modal dialog

[a7v1n]

hi. how come revit just hangs everytime i close a modal form using me.dispose() and immediately calling selection.pickpoint after it?

i dont have this problem if the form is modeless.

Thanks!

Me too.  I wish I understood why.  If I have Visual Studio open, then it jumps to VS after the dispose method.  It like it lost focus.  Revit is totally hung up at that point.

Why are you closing dialog with Dispose() method. Is it realy instructed to do so? Shouldn't you call Close() etc. first?

You can asign a value to DialogResult property to close the dialog

me.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK

The if you want to show it again, just call form.ShowDialog().
