Live update selected element

[Anonymous]

Hello 

I'm contemplating a new plugin, and I'm unsure on how to start it. 

The idea is that I have a dockable window(already build), and I would like to, whenever I select an element, to input parameters of that element into the dockable window - It would then have to auto-update if I select a new element. 

Any pointers on how to do this? I was thinking about MVVM and bindings, but I'm really not a fan of it so any idea that doesn't include MVVM is preferable. 

In a regular WPF or windows forms document I would handle a SelectionChanged event and change the dockable window inputs there - is this possible with the Revit API?

Hi,

There is a selection changed event see this post

@Moustafa_K Thank you, allthough I’m dissappionted there isn’t a real Call to the API that does this. 

i might just try to set it up as a MVVM with bindings to selektion properties instead. No idea if it’s work but it’s worth a try.
