Revit API Development: Creating Custom Forms

In Revit, users often need to input specific data before executing a program. To implement forms in Revit, you can use the following example code:

ParkingForm frmDlg = new ParkingForm();
frmDlg.ShowDialog();
if (frmDlg.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
{
    pref = frmDlg.Val;
}
else
{
    return Result.Cancelled;
}

The ParkingForm class inherits from Form, and its implementation is shown below:

public partial class ParkingForm : Form
{
    public ParkingForm()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    // Define Val string to get or set the value of textBox1
    public string Val
    {
        get { return textBox1.Text; }
        set { textBox1.Text = value; }
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
    }

    private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel;
    }
}

This example demonstrates how to add a form within Revit, allowing users to enter values into a text box on the form and then pass those values back to Revit.
