Can you refresh the content tree through the API

Jon Tibbetts asked on November 21, 2014 16:01

When I add a page from the back end code. The tree does not automatically refresh. I have to right click and select refresh subsection. Is there a command from the the API to do this?

content tree refresh

So the solution I came up with in my situation, I modified the OnAfterAction method for the EditMenu.ascx.cs file so that if there is a save with a document with a certain classname I force the refreshtree value to true. And then the tree will automatically update.

Hello Jon,

No, the refresh of the content tree is handled via JavaScript, not API.

When inspecting the element for the "refresh" context menu item I see this

Refresh subsection

Can this script be called from the api through a RegisterStartupScript?

<div id="m_mnodeMenu_contextMenuControl_iRefresh" class="Item" onclick="RefreshTree(GetContextMenuParameter('nodeMenu'), null);">
            <div class="ItemPadding"><span id="m_mnodeMenu_contextMenuControl_l" class="Name">Refresh subsection</span></div>
        </div>

Hello Jon,

But regrettably this method just registers refresh tree script for documents UI. It doesn't execute any action.
