Create user notification.

[Tripler123]

I was watching a video and I found myself with the very interesting surprise that an application created this type of notification. Some kind of reference to make this kind of notification.

AdWindows perhaps...

Above just looks like someone is putting words in my mouth if I'm supposed to be the little blue person.

Anyway:

Dim Ri As New Autodesk.Internal.InfoCenter.ResultItem()
Ri.Title = "Hello I'm an AdWindows msg. If you are seeing this rather than an abrupt end to the Revit session you were in then it worked."
Ri.Group = "Group"
Ri.IsFavorite = True

Ri.Timestamp = Date.Now
Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.InfoCenterPaletteManager.ShowBalloon(Ri)

Can also stick some buttons in one:

Only problem is if someone clicks on 'Don't show me this again' upon which time it adds an id to the registry presumably and you'll never see it again. I didn't make the buttons do anything I just put them in as an xaml fragment. Probably a more passive form of layout control would have been a better example.

Also note it isn't the user icon speaking anymore it is the question mark speaking (since a different overload is used).

Yet to get the shopping trolley to speak.

@RPTHOMAS108 Thanks

Hi @RPTHOMAS108 , it worked perfectly for me. Do you know where I can find more information about AdWindows?

If you are still around @RPTHOMAS108 or @Tripler123 Where did you run this? Is it a macro? Is it a pseudo-journal-text file? Which version of Revit did you run it in?

[RPTHOMAS108]

Since the post was late 2021 I assume the Revit Version would have been 2022.

The techniques used AdWindows it likely would have been done in a standard add-in.

Although the features of AdWindows are unsupported so it likely could have been run from anywhere regardless.
