Improvement request: Modeless UI

Open jmcouffin opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi Oliver, Here is my request ! Making the UI modeless would help greatly manipulating elements and get their properties and their values. Sometimes you need to check the values format to prepare the rule properly Thanks

and also at the same time, set the windows form to stay always on top would help

Hi Jean-Marc, I like both of these ideas.

  1. Getting this working will require a little replumbing since Revit requires all modeless dialogs to use ExternalCommands for everything. It's now on my list of things to adjust when I get a moment :)
  2. Setting the RegularWindow "Topmost" value is an easy fix in the RegularStyles.xaml file. If you feel confident doing so, feel free to create a pull request for this one, otherwise I can always pick it up!
