How to refresh Factbox

Question

I have a form, when i click on my button.It adds to my table A (what my factbox shows)is it possible to refresh the factbox with X++ code? I can't figure out how to refresh my infopart or query which factbox uses.

Answer 1

For an infopart you can call an update of the data source of the infopart's form run:

void clicked()
{
    PartList       partList;
    int            i;
    FormRun        infoPartFormRun;
    FormDataSource infoPartDataSource;

    super();

    partList = new PartList(element);
    for (i = 1; i <= partList.partCount(); i++)
    {
        infoPartFormRun = partList.getPartById(i);
        if (infoPartFormRun.name() == identifierStr(MyInfoPart))
        {
            infoPartDataSource = infoPartFormRun.dataSource();
            if (infoPartDataSource)
            {
                infoPartDataSource.research();   
            }
        }
    }
}

I added the check for the infoPartDataSource because I first tested this with a cue group fact box, which does not have a data source (or at least I could not figure out how to get the data source of one of the cues in the cue group and since you asked for an infopart fact box, I did not investigate further).

Update: The issue seems to be popular at the moment, Martin Dráb also wrote in his blog about it: Refreshing form parts
