Hello everyone,
I'm trying to to implement an Updater in my code since documentChanged has some limitations regarding setting parameter values (in documentChanged they are read-only).
Everything is great! And i was able to register it using OnStartup(). However, i need to get all the elements in the document.
As i understand, the updater needs a trigger to get the change type (AddTrigger(UpdaterID, Document, IColllection(ElementId), ChangeType)) this overloaded function is what interests me. But how can i get the collection from the document while inside the OnStartup() function:
This is my function:
public Result OnStartup(UIControlledApplication application)
{
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(doc);
collector.WherePasses(new LogicalOrFilter(new ElementIsElementTypeFilter(false), new ElementIsElementTypeFilter(true)));
ICollection<ElementId> allLoads = collector.ToElementIds();
if (null == _updater)
{
_updater = new WatcherUpdater(
application.ActiveAddInId);
UpdaterRegistry.RegisterUpdater(_updater);
UpdaterRegistry.AddTrigger(
_updater.GetUpdaterId(), doc, allLoads,
Element.GetChangeTypeAny());
}
else
{
UpdaterRegistry.UnregisterUpdater(
_updater.GetUpdaterId());
_updater = null;
}
return Result.Succeeded;
}
As you can see, i scratched doc, this is what's i can't get implement. How can i get the document from UIControlledApplication?
I even tried to add the trigger (AddTrigger(UpdaterID, Document, IColllection(ElementId), ChangeType)) in my Execute function. I tried searching a lot but i can't find anything. I even tried implementing an Idling event in which i can get the collection. But still not working.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
