How to update/refresh dashboard view?

Hi,

I am working with dashboard as a toolbox for controlling the model. I used the GUI Class reference to display additional parametres. The problem is when I change something (or the user) in the GUI, the change is not overwritten in the Dashboard view and I need to simply close and reopen the dashboard to view the requisted changes.


Is there any other way to make the Dashboard reload or refresh instead of closing it?

The same situation is when using combobox and trying to modify the node's values via code, but the changes do not appear until you close and reopen the dashboard.


Thank you,


Martin

You should instead be using getdashboardcontrol() to find the combobox:


Object dashctrl=getdashboardcontrol("myComboBox");  //myComboBox is the dashboard control ID, not the name - set it in properties
treenode newOption=items(dashctrl).subnodes.assert("test3",6);
comborefresh(dashctrl);

Hi Jason,

I'm replying as my colleague is offline already. We use getdahsboardcontrol but problems is still the same:

I will provide a test model below. You can see in model that when you click on AddComboOption button, you are adding options but they are not visible in dashboard. You must close it a open it again.
Also the treenode is still the same and changes only after dashboard is closed.

I added the comborefresh command to the script above which removes the need to cycle the dashboard's edit mode.

I am not sure what you mean rigth now. I tried the following command: 

treenode view = Model.find("MODEL:/Tools/Dashboards/Dashboard2");
repaintview(view);

but no change appeared.

I thinks it does not refresh the dashboard.

Thank you

It still does not help. I have a combobox and I want the add new node and set its name. Then I tried the mentioned command to see the changes but not successfully.


treenode node = Model.find("MODEL:/Tools/Dashboards/Dashboard2/DashboardCombobox334>variables/options");
nodeinsertinto(node);
setname(node.last, "test");
updatestates();

Shoud this work?

Hello

Has a solution been achieved for this query?, I don’t quite understand the shared model. I have a similar problem and have posted a question with an attached model. I am waiting for an update.
