Current schedule row?

[Anonymous]

Is there any way to get the currently active or selected row for a schedule? More specifically, what about for a panel schedule?

I would like the user to be able to make a field in a row active on a panel schedule, then press a button and be able to do something to the circuit they selected.

Using the ActiveView I can get the panel name, but I can't figure out if I can get the row.

Dear david,

I believe there is no such API, new wish is filed:

I'm pretty sure the currently active row in the schedule appears in the UIDocument Selection object.

You're right--good tip. I ran a few tests, and UIDocument.Selection returns the elements that correspond to the currently selected schedule row.

I tested a standard schedule of ElectricalEquipment. The UIDocument.Selection list contained a single element with the ElectricalEquipment for the currently selected row.

I tested a panel schedule with a circuit selected. The UIDocument.Selection list contained more items. It appeared to have the ElectricalSystem and all the connected FamilyInstances in it.

Great, glad it helped.
