Adding Combox to the toolbar

[Anonymous]

Hi Everybody,

I'm actually trying to build an add-in with a personalized ribbon.

To improve the Kilometers run by the mouse I'm trying to add a Combobox to the toolbar for a specific RibbonTab (like the Combobox in the following image).

Do you know if this is currently possible in Revit API 2017 or later ?

Or does somebody have a trick to build something like that ?

Thanks,

Sorry, I do not believe this is easily possible and am not aware of any such trick.

Of course the Windows API will allow you to do anything you want, in theory, but it might be hard to integrate with existing Revit functionality and not break anything.

Cheers,

Jeremy

I expected that answer ...

I don't want to fight against Revit so I decided to solve the problem with a Windows Form.

Looks uglier at the beginning but after some days of use, it does the job.

Thanks Anyway Jeremy,

Hi,

you could add an Autodesk.Revit.UI.ComboBox to your ribbon menu, no need to use a Windows.Form.

There is a sample called "Ribbon" in the SDK.
