can't get ribbon panel to work

Anonymous — Fri, 01 May 2015 19:43:06 GMT

I wanted a ribbon panel with a text box but can't get it to work. I put my code below

public class CsAddPanel : IExternalApplication
{
// Both OnStartup and OnShutdown must be implemented as public method
public Result OnStartup(UIControlledApplication application)
{
// Add a new ribbon panel
RibbonPanel panel = application.CreateRibbonPanel("NewRibbonPanel");

panel.AddSeparator();
AddStackedButtons(panel);

return Result.Succeeded;
}

private void AddStackedButtons(RibbonPanel panel)
{
ComboBoxData cbData = new ComboBoxData("comboBox");

TextBoxData textData = new TextBoxData("Text Box");
//textData.Image =
// new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"D:\Sample\HelloWorld\bin\Debug\39-Globe_16x16.png"));
textData.Name = "Text Box";
textData.ToolTip = "Enter some text here";
textData.LongDescription = "This is text that will appear next to the image"
+ "when the user hovers the mouse over the control";
//textData.ToolTipImage =
// new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"D:\Sample\HelloWorld\bin\Debug\39-Globe_32x32.png"));

IList<RibbonItem> stackedItems = panel.AddStackedItems(textData, cbData);
if (stackedItems.Count > 1)
{
TextBox tBox = stackedItems[0] as TextBox;
if (tBox != null)
{
tBox.PromptText = "Enter a comment";
tBox.ShowImageAsButton = true;
tBox.ToolTip = "Enter some text";
// Register event handler ProcessText
tBox.EnterPressed +=
new EventHandler<Autodesk.Revit.UI.Events.TextBoxEnterPressedEventArgs>(ProcessText);
}
}
}

void ProcessText(object sender, Autodesk.Revit.UI.Events.TextBoxEnterPressedEventArgs args)
{
// cast sender as TextBox to retrieve text value
TextBox textBox = sender as TextBox;
string strText = textBox.Value as string;
}

public Result OnShutdown(UIControlledApplication application)
{
// nothing to clean up in this simple case
return Result.Succeeded;
}
}

[TransactionAttribute(TransactionMode.Automatic)]
[RegenerationAttribute(RegenerationOption.Manual)]
public class Lab1PlaceGroup1 : IExternalCommand
{
public Result Execute(
ExternalCommandData commandData,
ref string message,
ElementSet elements)
{

// code

}

Dear, what do you by "can't get it to work", your code works for me.
is it a problem of your addin file?

I mean that I can't see a textbox under the addin tab. I made one plug in for the class under Lab1PlaceGroup1. Do i need one for the CsAddPanel as well?
