Hi Derek, >What/How can I change a UI property so that it
gets refreshed? I am currently using option.setValue(newValue), but that is not
causing a refresh. There is no way for the
tool-integrator to force update currently. As mentioned earlier, the page gets
refreshed when it becomes visible and/or when a user changes some option on the
page. >An 'automatic' refresh after option.setValue()
would be good... The core knows nothing about
UI so it can not refresh UI when the setValue is called. The only solution for
this would be to implement the listener mechanism, but AFIK no one is planning
to work on this currently. Regards, Mikhail -----Original Message----- Mikhail, Thanks for this.
