Keep pyRevit prompt open while doing input in Revit

[mve1122]

Hi,

is it possible to prompt a user for some input in a window, while the user is also doing stuff in Revit?

I want to make a tool that hides things in view based on what categories are selected with checkboxes in a prompt. Ideally, the user can keep the prompt open and to quickly hide/unhide categories while manipulating the view in Revit.

So far, all my prompts block out any input in Revit until the prompt is closed.

hi mve1122,

Have a look here.

How to remain the pop-up window by pyrevit.forms.SelectFromList?

I can’t recall any pyRevit windows out of the box being modeless. What I’m wortking on currently has a modeless window but with a slightly different purpose, however you might use it as a starting point: Another one: As you can see, the included WPFWIndow is somewhat prepared for being shown in modeless form, but needs extra caution and efforts, if you want to interact with the Revit API in that context.

I think that answers your question.
