Updating a Table from code does not displayed data until you double click a cell

gotMorris — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 15:41:54 GMT

After my program runs the table cells appear to be empty however if I click into cell then click out the data is there. Any help would be great.

Before clicking

After clicking

table.UpgradeOpen();
table.Cells[2, 0].TextString = autoFixture.TitleBlock.AttributeData.FirstOrDefault(d=>d.Name == "REV").Value;
table.Cells[2, 1].TextString = "FINAL- NEW DRAWING";
table.Cells[2, 2].TextString =DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
table.Cells[2, 3].TextString = autoFixture.TitleBlock.AttributeData.FirstOrDefault(d => d.Name == "DRAWNBY").Value;

are you using table.GenerateLayout() somewhere that's not shown?

You may want to try calling Editor.UpdateScreen() after the Transaction, within which the table is opened and updated, is committed.

I haven't tried that yet. I assumed GenerateLayout was needed if I created a new Table. Is that the case?

UpdateScreen didn't do the trick. I did notice ,however, that if I resize the table the cell data is appears.

I am still having trouble with this issue. I have noticed that any change in the properties of the table fixes the problem. Below I show how by changing the direction to "down" then "up" again the text is displayed. I have tried Editor.UpdateScreen() and table.GenerateLayout(). Is there a way in code to refresh the table @_gile?

Hi,

I cannot reproduce what you describe.

It's quite difficult to help you seein so few code, anyway, did you try to call.table.DowngradeOpen() after editing the table?

Thanks @_gile calling DowngradeOpen() fixed my problem. I don't recall needing to use that method after calling UpgradeOpen() on other objects before.

Thanks for your help.
