A valid Revit document that is currently modifiable (i.e. with an open transaction).

Id of the graphic view in which the note is to be created.

Text to populate the text note with.
typeId

Return Value

The newly created text note.

Remarks

The new TextNote will consist of a single line of text unless there are carriage return ('\r') or vertical tab ('\v') characters in the given string. Once the text note is created its width gets adjusted to fit the longest (or the single one) line of text.

As a view-specific element the TextNote will be visible only in the specified view.

The new TextNote will be created using the given text type, which defines the style. The currently default style can be obtained from the Document.GetDefaultElementTypeId method.
