Open "Select Item" dialog to API
« on: September 25, 2009, 10:44:35 pm »
I would love to be able to start the "Select Item" dialog from the API, and be able to get the results back as EA.Element (or .Operation, .Attribute etc...)
I think this would be a very usefull addition.

Who's with me?

I would like to stress the importance of this API function - I have alreday spent 2 years to solve it (it works, but the problems with refreshing etc. needs lot of workaroudns....).

So, if now the search window is available in the UI, I believe the API function publication would be the simple task....

With kind regards

My vote also,
for the on and the off topic. If this comforts you Geert: It's even already snowing here, f**k!

OMG!! it must be Sinterklaas :o :o :o

I was looking up something in the help and I just found this: Repository.InvokeConstructPicker (string ElementFilter)

That is so cool (and it only took three years to develop it :-X)

Has anyone used it yet?
