Open Edit Shared Parameters dialog from Revit API

[SwainStrain]

Hello everyone, 

a client asked me to add a button to the UI of my plugin that opens the Edit Shared Parameters dialog of Revit.

Is it possible? Maybe through a Postable Command?

Thank you very much for your help!

Yes, I would assume that PostCommand would work well for that use case. Here are some articles on the topic that describe how you can find out whether it is supported and if so, how it can be implemented:

I hope it works out and would appreciate if you let us know how you end up implementing it. Thank you!

Many thanks @jeremy_tammik , these few lines of code solved the problem:

UIApplication uiapp = commandData.Application;
         UIDocument uidoc = uiapp.ActiveUIDocument;
         Document doc = uidoc.Document;

         var name = "ID_FILE_EXTERNAL_PARAMETERS";
         RevitCommandId id_addin = RevitCommandId.LookupCommandId(name);

         uiapp.PostCommand(id_addin);
