Issue with Delete Key Removing TextNote Elements Instead of Characters in Revit API

[msanhueza9R6PV]

Hi, I have an issue with the Revit API.

I have implemented the delete command to remove some rebar elements once certain annotation elements are deleted. However, I'm encountering an issue where pressing the delete key within the text editor of any TextNote element deletes the entire element instead of the typed character. Is it possible to determine through the Revit API if the user is currently editing any text to avoid deleting the element and only delete the character instead?

Thanks in advanced.

I am not sure if there is a direct or supported way yo access this, but i usually jump to UI status. Meaning, I check the Ribbons and tabs and predict what i need from how it looks. Not the perfect way, but it works for now. You can try this snippet

const string EDITTEXTTAB = "Edit TextTab";
var tabs = Autodesk.Windows.ComponentManager.Ribbon.Tabs;

for (int i = 0; i < tabs.Count; i++)
{
    var tab = tabs[i];
    if (tab.Id == EDITTEXTTAB)
    {
        // text is in edit mode
        break;
    }
}
