Syntax

C++

public static bool ElementFilterIsAcceptableForParameterFilterElement(
	Document aDocument,
	ISet<ElementId> categories,
	ElementFilter elementFilter
)

Public Shared Function ElementFilterIsAcceptableForParameterFilterElement ( 
	aDocument As Document,
	categories As ISet(Of ElementId),
	elementFilter As ElementFilter
) As Boolean

public:
static bool ElementFilterIsAcceptableForParameterFilterElement(
	Document^ aDocument, 
	ISet<ElementId^>^ categories, 
	ElementFilter^ elementFilter
)

static member ElementFilterIsAcceptableForParameterFilterElement : 
        aDocument : Document * 
        categories : ISet<ElementId> * 
        elementFilter : ElementFilter -> bool

Parameters

aDocument Document: The document in which to create the ParameterFilterElement.
categories ISet ElementId: The categories for the new ParameterFilterElement.
elementFilter ElementFilter: The ElementFilter to validate.

Return Value

Boolean

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	A non-optional argument was null

Remarks

ElementFilter is either an ElementParameterFilter or an ElementLogicalFilter representing a Boolean combination of ElementParameterFilters. In addition, we check that each ElementParameterFilter satisfies the following conditions: Its array of FilterRules is not empty and contains:

Any number of FilterRules of type FilterValueRule, FilterInverseRule, and SharedParameterApplicableRule or
Exactly one FilterCategoryRule containing only one category from categories stored by this ParameterFilterElement or
Exactly two rules: the first one is a FilterCategoryRule containing only one category from categories stored by this ParameterFilterElement and the second one is a FilterRule of type FilterValueRule, FilterInverseRule, or SharedParameterApplicableRule.

Note that cases in the second and third bullet are currently allowed only if the parent node of ElementParameterFilter is LogicalOrFilter.
