Is there an ApplicationClosed Event for Revit C#?

rita.aguiar — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 10:44:35 GMT

Just like there is a ApplicationInitialized Event to register when Revit was open, is there an ApplicationClosed Event to register when it has been closed?

If there isn't one, where should I look for to learn how to create it?

I know there is an ApplicationClosing Event, however, I would like to register only when Revit has been successfully closed (http://www.revitapidocs.com/2015/61068521-c216-3ab5-9d6e-28006fcfe0ae.htm).

Any help would be appretiated

Hi!

What about UIControlledApplication.ApplicationClosing event or IExternalApplication.OnShutdown?

Thank you, I completely forgot I could use IExternalApplication.OnShutdown !

On a side note, is IExternalApplication.OnShutdown to register when the plugin I created has been closed/disabled? Or when the Revit application has been closed?

According to documentation on IExternalApplication.OnShutdown method:

"Implement this method to execute some tasks when Autodesk Revit shuts down".

It won't be invoked if Revit crashes, only just before normal Revit shutdown/
