Autodesk.Revit.UI.DockablePanes

The Autodesk.Revit.UI.DockablePanes namespace provides classes for creating and managing dockable panes in Autodesk Revit.

Classes

The following classes are available in the Autodesk.Revit.UI.DockablePanes namespace:

DockablePaneProviderData

This class provides data for creating dockable panes.

DockablePane

This class represents a dockable pane in Revit. It provides methods for setting the pane's visibility, title, and content.

DockablePaneId

This class provides a unique identifier for a dockable pane.

DockablePaneProvider

This class provides methods for creating and managing dockable panes.

Creating a Dockable Pane

To create a dockable pane in Revit, use the following steps:

1. Create a class that inherits from DockablePaneProvider.

public class MyDockablePaneProvider : DockablePaneProvider
{
    // ...
}

2. Override the CreatePane method to create a new dockable pane.

public override void CreatePane(DockablePaneProviderData data)
{
    // Create a new dockable pane
    DockablePane myPane = new DockablePane(data);
    
    // Set the pane's title and content
    myPane.SetTitle("My Dockable Pane");
    myPane.SetContent(new MyUserControl());
    
    // Show the pane
    myPane.Show();
}

3. Register the dockable pane provider with Revit.

MyDockablePaneProvider provider = new MyDockablePaneProvider();
DockablePaneProviderData data = new DockablePaneProviderData();
data.FrameworkElement = provider;
Application.RegisterDockablePane(data);

4. Run Revit and the dockable pane should be displayed.

Conclusion

The Autodesk.Revit.UI.DockablePanes namespace provides classes for creating and managing dockable panes in Autodesk Revit. By using these classes, developers can create custom user interfaces that integrate with Revit's existing UI.
