eclipse-rcp

I am using the properties view in RCP, i.e org.eclipse.ui.views.properties.PropertySheet.

I want to be able to refresh the content of these properties programmatically. It seems RCP is geared towards the use case where this changes only when a selection changes.

Is there any way I can fire a dummy event to get this to refresh (without having ugly UI artifacts such as visibly switching between parts) ?
