PyRevit Task Dialog Issue

[dazza1639]

I have created a script for PyRevit, using python code tested in RevitPythonShell (see code below). The script is designed to let the user select one of our panel schedule title blocks, get all of the elements contained within the schedule tables on that sheet, then add the Sheet Schedule Number (Sheet Number) to all of the panels for that sheet. This script was working in both RevitPythonShell and PyRevit, however it now throws an error when run from PyRevit, saying " pickobject NameError: global name '__window__' is not defined.
107608
It referes to line 41 & line 30 in the code which contains __window__.Hide()

I'm really stuck and can't find the issue, please help.


"""Sets the Schedule Sheet Number to all of the Elements that appear on the Schedule"""
__title__ = 'Set Sched No\nTo Items On\nSchedule'

I think I've fixed it, I have commented out the lines that refer to '__window__'. it must be a quirk of the RevitPythonShell, requiring these lines but pyRevit not showing a selection window.
