Hi marcosmateo,

it is not possible to add controls to the status bar or options bar.

Additionally:

As far as I know, there is no way to be notified if SelectionSet has changed.

There are no solutions for both of your issues.

Hi Marcos,

Like Revitalizer said, I don't believe that is possible, But then I remember there was a post by Jeremy, that sets text in the Status bar. So if you have time, and are interested in doing some research to check if it is possible to achieve what you are trying to do, go for it. I don't assure you it will work, but it will be a fun test to try.

Also if you want the most updated code for Revit 2016 you can get the Builder coder Samples solution from here

https://github.com/jeremytammik/the_building_coder_samples

Where you can find the SetStatusText inside of the CmdStatusBar.cs

Let me know if you give it a shot.

Cheers,
