Public Class ElementOwnerViewFilter

The ElementOwnerViewFilter type exposes the following members.

Constructors

	Name	Description
	ElementOwnerViewFilter(ElementId)	Constructs a new instance of a filter to match elements which are owned by a particular view.

	Inverted	True if the results of the filter are inverted; elements that would normally be accepted by this filter will be rejected, and elements that would normally be rejected will be accepted. (Inherited from ElementFilter)
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity. (Inherited from ElementFilter)
	ViewId	The view id.

	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)
	PassesFilter(Element)	Applies the filter to a given element. (Inherited from ElementFilter)

Remarks

This filter is a quick filter. Quick filters operate only on the ElementRecord, a low-memory class which has a limited interface to read element properties. Elements which are rejected by a quick filter will not be expanded in memory.

Example

C++

Copy

// Use ElementOwnerView filter to find TextNotes in the active view

// Create an ElementOwnerView filter with id of active view
ElementOwnerViewFilter elementOwnerViewFilter = new ElementOwnerViewFilter(document.ActiveView.Id);

// Apply the filter to the elements in the active document,
// Use shortcut method OfClass() to find TextNotes only
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> textNotesOfActiveView =
    collector.WherePasses(elementOwnerViewFilter).OfClass(typeof(TextNote)).ToElements();

// Find TextNotes which are not owned by active view: use an inverted filter to match TextNotes
ElementOwnerViewFilter notOwnedFilter = new ElementOwnerViewFilter(document.ActiveView.Id, true); // inverted filter
collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> notOwnedByViewFounds =
    collector.WherePasses(notOwnedFilter).OfClass(typeof(TextNote)).ToElements();

' Use ElementOwnerView filter to find TextNotes in the active view

' Create an ElementOwnerView filter with id of active view
Dim elementOwnerViewFilter As New ElementOwnerViewFilter(document.ActiveView.Id)

' Apply the filter to the elements in the active document,
' Use shortcut method OfClass() to find TextNotes only
Dim collector As New FilteredElementCollector(document)
Dim textNotesOfActiveView As ICollection(Of Element) = collector.WherePasses(elementOwnerViewFilter).OfClass(GetType(TextNote)).ToElements()

' Find TextNotes which are not owned by active view: use an inverted filter to match TextNotes
Dim notOwnedFilter As New ElementOwnerViewFilter(document.ActiveView.Id, True)
' inverted filter
collector = New FilteredElementCollector(document)
Dim notOwnedByViewFounds As ICollection(Of Element) = collector.WherePasses(notOwnedFilter).OfClass(GetType(TextNote)).ToElements()
