DEVELOPERS FORUM - Show an item in the Aras client

carterdawson - Tuesday, May 17, 2011 11:12 AM:

Hello, all,

We have an issue where we are trying to modify, then display a particular item based on some logic that happens in a context menu item.

I found the following posts from ages ago on this subject:

www.aras.comhttp:/.../273.aspx

www.aras.comhttp:/.../299.aspx

At the end of the story, we are modifying the object, locking it, and then using top.aras.uiShowItemEx() to show the item in a new window. That works fine as long as the object is not already open, but if it is, the modified state of the object is not reflected in the open window. So, these are my questions:

* How do we force a refresh of that window? (The technique described in the second referenced post above throws an exception).

* Is there any documentation for the top.aras methods? Any list anywhere? One of the posts referenced above indicates that the API was in flux and undocumented as of 2007. Has that changed?

Thanks!

Shaun
