taskDialog.Show cut off

[mliuAP3CU]

I have been using TaskDialog.Show() to check my code.

When the window pops up, the message is cut off and I can't extend the window to show the whole message.

Is there a way to make the window bigger to see the whole message? Or another better way to see the message?

(using c# to code)

(also not showing a list but that's a different problem)

This is the code I have been using:

FilteredElementCollector levCollector = new FilteredElementCollector(revitDoc);
List<Level> levelsCollection = levCollector.OfClass( typeof( Level ) )
      .OfType<Level>()
      .OrderBy( lev => lev.Elevation )
      .ToList();
string stringCollection = levelsCollection.ToString();
TaskDialog.Show("Something",stringCollection);

 screenshot to show problem.

HI @mliuAP3CU 

ToString() can't work for List, It will return only System.Generic.Collection.

The thing is In the Level class we have no of properties, So not able to convert the List<Level> to String. we need to Select Property which needs to convert as one string variable. Kindly refer to the below code for additional reference.

            FilteredElementCollector levCollector = new FilteredElementCollector(revitDoc);
            List<Level> levelsCollection = levCollector.OfClass(typeof(Level))
                  .OfType<Level>()
                  .OrderBy(lev => lev.Elevation)
                  .ToList();

            string stringCollection = string.Empty;

            foreach(Level level in levCollector)
            {
                stringCollection += level.Name + " " + level.Elevation * 304.8+"\n";
            }

            TaskDialog.Show("Something", stringCollection);
