Refresh embedded view

Here is the classic old issue. I've a form with embedded view on it (Show single category is used as well). There is an action on a view that create a new documents (which should be displayed in that embedded view). These solutions most likely wont work

• ws.ViewRefresh will not help
• Refreshing NotesUIDocument may cause a Notes client to crash, so it is not a way to go as well.

Here are some possible ways to solve it:

Refresh view by simulating of pressing F9

While searching for an example I found it on my blog :-), so you can easily find it here: how to emulate F9 key and save some minutes.

Refresh view by changing focus to another fields

The idea is to have 2 fields (let's call them FieldA and fieldB). Once you need to refresh embedded view - set focus to fieldA and then change it to fieldB. You also need either add refresh logic on Exiting property of fieldA (I prefer it, as it will not cause the perfomance on a form) or enable Automatically Refresh fields.

Refresh embedded view using hidden formula

Here the idea is to make sure we have hidden formula on Embedded View (even such like 1 = 0) and use Refresh

And here is code examples

  Call ws.ViewRefresh
  Call uidoc.RefreshHideFormulas
  Call ws.ViewRefresh
