The FailureDefinitionId type exposes the following members.

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | FailureDefinitionId | Creates a new FailureDefinitionId instance. |


Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Equals | Compares two Guid-based enum object based on their concrete class and GUID value. (Inherited from GuidEnum) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Generates a hash code for this Guid-based enum object. (Inherited from GuidEnum) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | Equality(FailureDefinitionId, FailureDefinitionId) | Compares two FailureDefinitionId instances. |
![]() ![]() | Inequality(FailureDefinitionId, FailureDefinitionId) | Compares two FailureDefinitionId instances. |

Each possible failure in Revit must be defined and registered during Revit application startup
by creating a FailureDefinition object.
Unique FailureDefinitionId must be used as a key to register FailureDefinition.
Those unique FailureDefinitionId should be created using GUID generation tool.
Later FailureDefinitionId can be used to lookup FailureDefinition
in FailureDefinitionRegistry, and create and post FailureMessages.
