Command Interface Parameters

[owenmerrick]

Hi,

Is it is possible to implement user interface input similar to wall interface shown above in a custom command? (The green bar which appears during built-in commands, allowing users to set parameters which persist between instances of the command). Does this interface component have a name?  I'm not sure what to search for in the samples or documentation.

Any insight would be great, Thanks,

Owen

Dear Owen,

Thank you for your query.

No, sorry, I do not believe that is possible.

As far as I know, all possible custom user interface options are demonstrated by the ADN Revit API Labs Training Material:

https://github.com/ADN-DevTech/RevitTrainingMaterial

https://github.com/ADN-DevTech/RevitTrainingMaterial/tree/master/Labs/2_Revit_UI_API

Look at the documentation and lab instructions:

https://github.com/ADN-DevTech/RevitTrainingMaterial/tree/master/Labs/2_Revit_UI_API/DocsCS

As said, I do not believe what you are asking for is included.

Sorry about that.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for confirming. 

I really like this style of interface, which appears only during the command, allows the input of a few relevant parameters, and maintains the last set value between executions of the command.  I also prefer to use the built-in interface elements where possible for consistency, so I was hoping this was an option.

Not a big deal, there are certainly other ways to get there.

Thanks for the UI references, I'll have a look.

Best,

Owen
