How do I force all Tree itemrenderers to refresh?
- by Richard Haven
I have item renderers in an mx.controls.Tree that I need to refresh on demand.
I have code in the updateDisplayList that fires for only some of the visible nodes no matter what I do. I've tried triggering a change that they should all be listening for; I have tried clearing and resetting the dataProvider and the itemRenderer properties.
private function forceCategoryTreeRefresh(event : Event = null) : void
{
trace("forceCategoryTreeRefresh");
var prevDataProvider : Object = CategoryTree.dataProvider;
CategoryTree.dataProvider = null;
CategoryTree.validateNow();
CategoryTree.dataProvider = prevDataProvider;
var prevItemRenderer : IFactory = CategoryTree.itemRenderer;
CategoryTree.itemRenderer = null;
CategoryTree.itemRenderer = prevItemRenderer as IFactory;
_categoriesChangeDispatcher.dispatchEvent(new Event(Event.CHANGE));
}
The nodes refresh properly when I scroll them into view (e.g. the .data gets set), but I cannot force the ones that already exist to refresh or reset themselves.
Any ideas?
