Open Sheet and View Programatically

[Anonymous]

I've been developing an add-in, where I have a list of sheets and views. I'd like to allow the user to open the sheet(s) or view(s) from the add-in. I'm not sure how I'll achieve this functionality through API. Would really appreciate if someone could explain how I can achieve this functionality through API. Thank you

Dear Ali,

You can probably use the approach described here:

Cheers,

Thanks, @jeremytammik for replying to the thread. I already had used this approach but it didn't work. Because when I use the showelements method, following error happen. Which says no good view could be found. Any resolution to this you could think of, please?

Hi,

for the ShowElements method, I've submitted an idea:

I don't want to intercept this no-good-view-found dialog by workarounds any more.

Is there any solution to this topic?

I use RequestViewChange in UIDocument to open multiple views/sheets.

new UIDocument(doc).RequestViewChange(view);

I just got the first VIewport inside the view.

worked for me

ViewSheet viewSheet = _doc.GetElement(id) as ViewSheet;

ElementId viewPortId = viewSheet.GetAllViewports().First();

if(viewPortId != null)
{
ElementUtilHelper.HighlightElement(_doc, viewPortId);
}
