ShowDialog

[Bryan Thatcher]

I'm trying to simply show a dialog, here is my code...

namespace HelloWorld

{
[Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.Transaction(Autodesk.Revit.Attributes.TransactionMode.Automatic)]
public class Class1 : IExternalCommand
{
public Autodesk.Revit.UI.Result Execute(ExternalCommandData revit,
ref string message, ElementSet elements);

public void ShowMyDialogBox()
{
Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.ShowDialog();
}
}
}

I've started with the HelloWorld sample. The debugger is getting caught on 'Execute' (see attached). Any ideas? Thanks.

You have a class Class1 This class have function Execute. This function must have a body, because this class is not abstract, extern or partial.
So, remove semicolon after declaring Execute function. In body of this function call ShowMyDialogBox(). And don't forget to return value.

Good luck, Victor.

Would you be willing to post an example. I'm learning, thanks.

Sure.

Here is the code

But I think you must read something for C# programming at first.

Also read this lessons http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...12&id=16777469

You can see Tutorial video there. I think it helps you.

Good luck
