I would be great full for some assistance as I am trying to update some apps to deal with soon to be deprecated items. The app is for Binding Shared Parameters.
I currently create a tree that represent the Instance and Type BuiltInCategory an example as below
TreeNode FlexDucts = new TreeNode(nodeName = treeViewName(doc, -2008020));
FlexDucts.Tag = -2008020;
I then utilised the code below to create the different Bindings
private void BindParam(UIApplication uiApp, DefinitionFile parafile)
{
ResourceManager LocRM = new ResourceManager("BindSharedParam.Properties.Resources", typeof(BindParamForm).Assembly);
try
{
BuiltInParameterGroup bIPG = (BuiltInParameterGroup)ReturnParamGroup();
// create a category set and insert category of wall to it
CategorySet myCategories = uiApp.Application.Create.NewCategorySet();
TreeNodeCollection nodes = categoryTv.Nodes;
using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc, LocRM.GetString("Transaction").TrimEnd('\r', '\n')))
{
foreach (TreeNode n in nodes)
{
if (n.Checked == true)
{
BuiltInCategory enumCategory = (BuiltInCategory)n.Tag;
Category myCategorie = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument.Document.Settings.Categories.get_Item(enumCategory);
myCategories.Insert(myCategorie);
foreach (TreeNode child in n.Nodes)
{
if (child.Checked == true)
{
BuiltInCategory enumCategoryChild = (BuiltInCategory)child.Tag;
myCategorie = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument.Document.Settings.Categories.get_Item(enumCategoryChild);
myCategories.Insert(myCategorie);
}
}
}
else if (n.Parent == null)
{
foreach (TreeNode nChild in n.Nodes)
{
if (nChild.Checked == true)
{
BuiltInCategory enumCategoryChild = (BuiltInCategory)nChild.Tag;
Category myCategorie = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument.Document.Settings.Categories.get_Item(enumCategoryChild);
myCategories.Insert(myCategorie);
}
}
}
}
t.Start();
{
// loop through DataGrid Values for Shared Parameters to be Bound
foreach (DataGridViewRow row in sharedParamDGV.Rows)
{
if (row.Cells[0].Value != null)
{
DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk = (DataGridViewCheckBoxCell)row.Cells[0];
if ((Convert.ToBoolean(chk.Value) == true))
{
numberSelected++;
string paramName = "";
string pGroup = "";
string paramGUID = "";
// Read Checked DataGrid Values for Parameter to be Bound
paramName = row.Cells[1].Value.ToString();
paramGUID = row.Cells[3].Value.ToString();
pGroup = row.Cells[4].Value.ToString();
// create a new group in the shared parameters file
DefinitionGroups myGroups = parafile.Groups;
DefinitionGroup myGroup = null;
myGroup = myGroups.get_Item(pGroup);
Definition myDefinition = myGroup.Definitions.get_Item(paramName);
if (instanceRdo.Checked)
{
//Create an instance of InstanceBinding
InstanceBinding instanceBinding = uiApp.Application.Create.NewInstanceBinding(myCategories);
// Bind the definitions to the document
bool instanceBindOK = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument.Document.ParameterBindings.Insert(myDefinition, instanceBinding, bIPG);
}
else
{
//Create an object of TypeBinding according to the Categories
TypeBinding typeBinding = uiApp.Application.Create.NewTypeBinding(myCategories);
// Bind the definitions to the document
bool typeBindOK = uiApp.ActiveUIDocument.Document.ParameterBindings.Insert(myDefinition, typeBinding, bIPG);
if (GroupInstanceRdo.Checked == true)
{
try
{
Guid spGUID = new Guid(row.Cells[3].Value.ToString());
SharedParameterElement spE = SharedParameterElement.Lookup(doc, spGUID);
InternalDefinition intdef = spE.GetDefinition();
intdef.SetAllowVaryBetweenGroups(doc, true);
}
catch
{
}
}
}
numberParamsBound++;
ProgressBarChange();
}
}
}
}
t.Commit();
TaskDialog tD = new TaskDialog(LocRM.GetString("AddSharedParam").TrimEnd('\r', '\n'));
tD.TitleAutoPrefix = false;
tD.MainInstruction = (string.Format(LocRM.GetString("TransactionSuccessfull"), numberParamsBound, numberSelected)).TrimEnd('\r', '\n');
tD.CommonButtons = TaskDialogCommonButtons.Ok;
TaskDialogResult result = tD.Show();
progressBar1.Value = 0;
selectAllCatRdo.Checked = false;
closeBt.Enabled = true;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
//if tree view selected before a parameter this shows.
TaskDialog tD = new TaskDialog(LocRM.GetString("AddSharedParam").TrimEnd('\r', '\n'));
tD.TitleAutoPrefix = false;
tD.MainInstruction = LocRM.GetString("TransactionError").TrimEnd('\r', '\n');
tD.CommonButtons = TaskDialogCommonButtons.Ok;
TaskDialogResult result = tD.Show();
progressBar1.Value = 0;
closeBt.Enabled = true;
}
}
Regrettably I am having difficulties updating it.
Thankyou in advance for your assistance.
