get Revits location relative to the screen

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Is there any way to get the x and y coordinates of current Revit application relative to the screen? I want to be able to display a form and position it to where Revit is. Thanks!

Hi:

The Revit API does not provide any information on the location/coordinates of the Revit application on the screen. To get this info, I would recommend checking the MSDN for Windows generic API specific questions and how to extract the coordinates of forms, applications from the screen.

Thanks. I finally figured it out. 🙂

Great. So I am assuming you are using the Windows API and nothing specific to Revit API.. Am I correct ?

Yes. I have to import InteropServices and define GetWindowRect to make it work. Spent a couple of hours looking over the internet... Thanks for your help. 🙂

Good luck!
