Hi @chuongmep
Hope you fill good.
Is it possible to clear the Debug.Trace output by codding?

I used the latest version 1.44, the first load ran without problems, modified the code and re-run, the newly compiled code did not load into revit. Asked other colleagues, colleagues second run will prompt whether to copy the dll, mine did not. I need to close revit and re-open it to get the new code to load into revit. My environment is Windows 10, Revit 2021.
Origin :
我使用了最新1.44版本，第一次加载运行没有问题，修改代码后重新运行，新编译的代码并没有加载到revit。询问别的同事，同事二次运行会提示是否拷贝dll，我的没有。
这时候，我需要将revit关闭后重新打开，新的代码才会加载到revit。我用的环境是win10+revit2021

Hi @chuongmep
I've got a Visual Studio project wich has External Dependencies like DevisId.dll of Standard.Licensing wich permits me to manage licenses.
When I call my AddIn.dll, it do not works.
What's the pb? Do I nid to Merge dependencies in my AddIn.dll?

I've noticed that when I run Revit and click on my button loading via fil.addin, it works and after I can call my plugin via AIM (F6), strange do'nt you think?

Hi @chuongmep
Is it possible to Run a command via AIM with a ShortCut?

The INotifyPropertyChanged interface provides a method: private void OnPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] string propertyName = null)

Here is the correct use case for property with notification:

public string CommandItems  
{
    get => _commandItems;
    set
    {
        if (value == _commandItems) return;
        _commandItems = value;
        OnPropertyChanged();
    }
}

Using ref and other overloads is superfluous.

Hi @chuongmep

I've got an other pb with my solution and debugging with AIM.
I've got an IExternalCommand wich simply put a TextNote into a view and it works when I run it with the AIM.
But, I've got an other IExternalCommand wich call a method coded into IExternalApplication with make a Show of a window form.
And, in this case, it does'nt work.
Do you know why?

The project only compiles under the 2022 version of Revit, the Readme says support until 2014, you need to add the solution and project configurations for this:
https://github.com/Nice3point/RevitTemplates/blob/main/Templates/Nice3point.Revit.AddIn/Nice3point.Revit.AddIn.csproj

Scrolling bug
Scrollbar does not work when it is captured by the mouse.

Describe the bug
IExternalCommands are detected when the compiled dll file is selected, and commands execute as expected.

IExternalApplications are detected when the compiled dll file is selected, 'Run' option is obviosly disabled (looks like it only petrains to IExternalCommands, so reving this when the user is in the 'Load App' tab is clearer, also in the docs it is mentioned that there is a 'Notes' section that shows the path of the highligted .dll file, but there is no 'Notes' seciton.)

The main issue is that when the IExternalApplication is loaded by choosing the latest compiled dll file, and Revit is restarted ,the IExternalApplication is not running, i.e., the OnStartup and OnShutdown never gets executed as a result, the Ribon Item, Panel, and buttons on the panel are not shown.

I have cleared all previous .addin files that I copied into the addins folder, (both Roaming and ProgramData folders).
I reinstalled RevitAddInManager and tried again. I restarted windows and tried again.

But the only way it was working is when I create a manifest (.addin) file and copy that to the plugin folder, and the path value in the manifest file points to the latest dll file, but the issue now is that I cant Build Solution since Revit process has locked the 'dll' file, just like its explained in the read me file.

TLDR; I am trying use RevitAddInManager to manage my IExternalApplciation that was compiled in the dll file, but RAIM detects the IExternalApplication's and won't load these applications on the next Revit restart.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Load App
2. Select the 'dll' file that has IExternalApplication
3. Close RevitAddInManager, Restart Revit
4. The chosed IExternalApplication wont load. But when a manifest file is created that points to the same dll file, on the next Revit restart, the IExternalAPplication works as expected.

Make the Font color of the Commands light gray to make a better contrast. Not white, that would be too bright

I'm new to this so please excuse me if my question is basic. Here's the issue I'm having:
I open Revit 2024 and use the AIM to load a command. Then back in VS, I make some changes to the code. I click "Build Solution" and get the following error:
The command "copy "C:\Users\user\source\repos\MyRevitCommands\MyRevitCommands\bin\Debug"."" "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2024"" exited with code 1. MyRevitCommands

This error disappears if I build it after I close Revit.
Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Sorry I figured out the solution. I had copy"$(TargetDir)"."""$(AppData)\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2024\ in my post-build event command line, which I think was causing the issue. I deleted and it's all good.

Hi @chuongmep
It could be nice to be able to Clear the Dockable Debug panel by codding.
You recomanded me to clear the txt file , ok but, when I do this , DockAble panel still with lines... Even if I close A re-open it.

Working if I close Revit but, it could be nice while Revit is in..

PS : I've noticed that I have to Remove App first if I I Want that the Debug.Trace Events works

Revit don't support those APIs until Revit2020.I still use Revit2018,so the exception is throw when Revit2018 is opening,
Please fix it.
Thanks

Describe the bug
this will be bug and fix in one:

i have got only Revit 2020&2021 installed and the C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins was not present
had to create it manually for addin manager to work otherwise got this error:

i guess this is legacy folder structure and its easy to omit.
probably the easiest way for addin would be to guard clause against presence of this folder and create it if necessary.

checked on versions 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3
best regards

I use Parallels to develop for Revit and I store my projects on my Mac partition (\\MAC\...). Loading compiled files from the MAC partition results in

System.NullRerefenceException as shown in the picture below

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a Visual Studio project and store it in your MAC partition
2. Compile the projec
3. Load the .dll files from the MAC parition

Expected behavior
This should work or at least give a reasonable error so it is easier to debug.

It took me a very long time to figure this out. Part of the reason I'm leaving this here is to help others facing similar issues.

I saw that you published Revit 2024 api binaries on nuget. Revit 2024 right now is under NDA, are you sure that Autodesk will not mind making public something that is protected by NDA :P?

My application has a lot of external commands. It would be much easier to run the whole application from the Loaded Applications tab.

Describe the solution you'd like
Let users run applications from the Loaded Applications tab.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried running external commands, but it's just not as nice to test everything.

I would like to be able to run add-ins without a model running. My goal is to automate the Navisworks exports and to do this I need to test this apps execution on a newly opened Revit application.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow the button to work without a model opened.

Describe alternatives you've considered
While this has more features and I will use it for future development, for the moment i will stick to the official one for this current task.

Hi, I'm using a DockPane.
When I use AddInManager to run my new modified dll, Debug.Trace are not visible in your Trace Events window...
Maybe the problem comes from the DockablePaneId with Guid....
Maybe you can reproduce the pb with this exemple :

When addin opened, then the user close all documents and click run a command on the addin.
The error will occur like this below video
Thanks.

Describe the bug
First of all, thank you for this great piece of software, it helps a lot!
Today, I wanted to test the Trace/Debug feature, which would be so very useful - but sadly it did not work...
For testing i copied your ColorWriteLine command (see screenshot) and it ran without any errors.
After running the command though, neither Listener-window nor Debug/Trace Output Dockpanel had any content.
Is there anything else I might be missing? Any idea as to why it won't log anything?

Expected behavior
As per my understanding, there should be 5 colored lines of text put out on the Debug/Trace Output and the Listener-window.

Hello!

A long time ago I created this repo with the close source AddinManager.dll.

• https://github.com/ricaun/RevitAddInManagerCollection

The idea is the same, compile the necessary files to create an AddinManager.bundle and create an Inno file to create an executable.

The past month I create the ricaun.Nuke.PackageBuilder to do exactly that using the Nuke Build

The Github Action Release the Executable file.

Check my repo: https://github.com/ricaun/RevitAddInManager

Still need to add the base images for the installer and a simple license then I gonna create a PR.

Hi @chuongmep
The dockable panel Debug/Trace Event do not show nothing whereas txt file is not empty. Do you know what?
I've noticed that the Listener tab into Revit Add in Manager form works and display what the txt file content. But not the panel...
I've allready clear all the AddIn directory but does not work..
Thx for help.

Describe the bug
When using multiple monitors, the Add-In manager window was appearing on a different window than my Revit Instance, probably because I moved one of the windows between monitors.

I'm currently traveling, and have only my laptop - no external monitors. When I open the Add-In Manager Window, it seems to appear offscreen on a different 'monitor' window, even though I don't have another monitor open. I can't seem to use any of the shortcuts I know to get it to move back to the one screen I currently have, so I can't really use it.

To Reproduce

1. On a laptop connected to a second monitor...
2. Open Revit and then open Add-In Manager Window
3. Move Add-In Manager to Second monitor, keep Revit on main Laptop monitor
4. Close Revit and Add-In Manager. Disconnected external monitor.
5. Restart Revit on just the laptop, try to oppen Add-In Manager from Ribbon.
6. Note that in taskbar, you can see the Add-In manager is open, BUT you cannot move it to the main laptop screen.

Expected behavior
Be able to use the shortcut 'start button' + 'arrow keys' to move Add-In manager to a visible monitor, OR simply have Add-In reset it's starting position if it would appear on an 'phantom' monitor.
