Selecting an element from elementid

[Jaki]

We can able to select an element by giving element id by using elementsid property dialog box from tools menu. Similarly, I need to show an element by using element id by using API. Do any one know what function takes element id to show an element by using elementid.

for example, the element id value is 132059, you can use following code segment to show the element.

Document^ doc = commandData->Application->ActiveDocument;
ElementId id;
id.Value = 132059;
Autodesk::Revit::Element^ selElement = doc->Element[id];

Selection^ sel = doc->Selection;
sel->Elements->Add(selElement );

Hi,
it's works fine just if element is in current view,
if element is not in current view it doesn't work.
Ho can I change active view from API ?
Thank's in advance

Hi,
if element is not in current view it still works. Then the element is selected but the Revit will not change the active view to show the selected element.
And now there is a lack of relevant function to change active view through API. I think we should put forward a request to Autodesk.
