Location Revit form

Hello!

I need to work with the options bar. I did not find the function revit api to work with the options bar, so I create my own analog of option bar. I need get location of revit form to set location my forms.

Hi!

What do you mean when you say "option bar"?

You may explore:

a) AdWindow (just search this word in http://thebuildingcoder.typepad.com/)

b) Spy++ tool from Visual Studio Tools, you may look at component name, then find component and explore it with Windows API (working with handles IntPtrs)

Options bar - this is green bar in the bottom screenshot.

1)I use AdWindow, but i didn't find location properties.

2) I use Windows API (working with handles IntPtrs) , i have name process and hwd, but don't pernission to forms and location 😞

Did you try to use GetWindowRect function?
