Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB Class: GlobalParameter

IsValidDataType

Method

Description:
Tests whether the input Data Type is valid as a type of a global parameter.

Remarks:
Since most data types but not all are supported by global parameters, it is reasonable to test a ParameterType before attempting to create a global parameter of it.
