Syntax
The DialogBoxShowingEventArgs type exposes the following members.

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Cancellable |
Indicates whether an event may be cancelled by an event delegate.
(Inherited from RevitAPIEventArgs) |
![]() | DialogId | A unique string identifier for DialogBox and TaskDialog type dialogs in Revit. |
![]() | IsValidObject |
Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
(Inherited from RevitAPIEventArgs) |

Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
![]() | Cancel |
When the event is cancellable, may call the Cancel() method to cancel it.
(Inherited from RevitAPIPreEventArgs) |
![]() | Dispose | (Inherited from RevitAPIEventArgs) |
![]() | Equals | Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object) |
![]() | IsCancelled |
Indicates whether the event is being cancelled.
(Inherited from RevitAPIEventArgs) |
![]() | OverrideResult | Call this method to cause the Autodesk Revit dialog to be dismissed with the specified return value. |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object) |

The actual type of the event arguments will be different depending upon the type of dialog shown.
When the application receives this object, a dialog is to be displayed in Revit that
requires user interaction. The OverrideResult function can be used to cause the dialog
to be dismissed and return a desired result code.
