OptionsBar

Hello everyone,

I compiled a DLL that displays a custom options bar in the Revit options bar, this class has some pre-designed controls. And just like in my previous post about the ProgressMeter, if you are interested in trying this feature, you can download the DLL for Revit versions 2023 and 2024 from the following link:
https://github.com/SpeedCAD/SCADtools.Revit.UI.OptionsBar

I hope this tool is useful!

Thank you, looks great! And you include a license with this, that is also a big help. Did you notice this other recent open-source OptionsBar implementation?

Neat! You should consider creating a nuget package to make it easier to download and install your library, is not a good practice to download random dll and install manually.

Exactly, I was experimenting yesterday using the Nice3point OptionsBar implementation and was able to swap the StatusBar with a custom ProgressBar.

Hi Jeremy,

The license was already included. And yes, I have seen the implementation of the link you posted.

Thanks you!

Hi ricaun,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to create a nuget package, I've never done that.

Your implementation of the progress bar looks great.
