AC API automatic update of a textbox

[Koze85]

Hi can I automatically update a textbox with the Area of a specific fill whenever a user change its shape?

Texdtbox don't have an asociative property so I'm not sure it can be done.

You should use an associative label for this.

Hi!

You can attach observers to elements. In the handler proc you can then put the code to update the textbox. Check out the section "Element related notifications" on this page: Notification Manager | Archicad API.

Also check out the Notification_Manager example coming with the API DevKit.
