How to update progress bar simultaneously with some code execution

Anonymous — Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:08:29 GMT

Hello,

I creating a simple Addin for Revit for joining wall and column.

That addin contain form. When I click addin it display the windows form as I attached the image.

If I select item wall and column from drop down list and click the button It join wall and column successfully and show message.For this is create a class name as WCjoin.cs.This class I call from form button click event.

But I dont want to do that I want progress bar which update the progress bar when class is executing and wall column is joining.

I write the code for that but it update the progress bar after class is executed.

This is the code:

Form Code:-

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

using Autodesk.Revit.UI;

namespace JoinGeometry
{
[Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.Transaction(Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.TransactionMode.Manual)]
public partial class AdvanceJoin : Form
{
ExternalCommandData commandData;

public AdvanceJoin(ExternalCommandData commandDatax)
{
commandData = commandDatax;
InitializeComponent();
}

private void AdvanceJoin_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add("Wall and Column");
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
progressBar1.Value = 0;
timer1.Stop();
timer1.Start();

if (comboBox1.SelectedItem == "Wall" && comboBox2.SelectedItem == "Column")
{
try
{
WCjoin wcj = new WCjoin();
wcj.Execute(commandData);
label2.Text = "WALL COLUMN JOINED";
}
catch (Exception g)
{
TaskDialog.Show("revit", "error is occured" + g);
}
}

}

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
progressBar1.Increment(5);
}

}

Code :Class WCjoin.cs

using Autodesk.Revit.Attributes;
using Autodesk.Revit.DB;
using Autodesk.Revit.UI;

namespace JoinGeometry
{
[Transaction(TransactionMode.Manual)]
class WCjoin
{

bool check;
public Result Execute(ExternalCommandData commandData)
{

UIApplication uiApp = commandData.Application;
UIDocument uidoc = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument;
Document doc = uidoc.Document;

FilteredElementCollector collWalls = new FilteredElementCollector(doc, doc.ActiveView.Id);
collWalls.OfClass(typeof(Wall));

foreach (Wall w in collWalls)
{

FilteredElementCollector collColumnsOnThisWall = new FilteredElementCollector(doc, doc.ActiveView.Id);

collColumnsOnThisWall.OfClass(typeof(FamilyInstance));
collColumnsOnThisWall.OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_StructuralColumns);

BoundingBoxXYZ bb = w.get_BoundingBox(doc.ActiveView);
Outline outline = new Outline(bb.Min, bb.Max);
BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter bbfilter =new BoundingBoxIntersectsFilter(outline);
collColumnsOnThisWall.WherePasses(bbfilter);

foreach (FamilyInstance column in collColumnsOnThisWall)
{
using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, "Join All Walls/Column"))
{
t.Start();

check = JoinGeometryUtils.AreElementsJoined(doc, w, column);
if (check == true)
{

}
else
{
JoinGeometryUtils.JoinGeometry(doc, w, column);

}

t.Commit();
}

}

}

return Result.Succeeded;
}

}
}

I want to update progress bar while WCjoin class is executing and after the class WCjoin has been successfully completed the progress bar has been stoped with full 100%

What I should do for achieveing my target.
