[CLOSED] Reloading TreePanel Nodes dynamically in a Direct Event

[rmelancon]

I have a TreePanel with a Node and I need to load the tree based on user input from a combo box. The items/text etc. in the nodes are derived from a database query (linq objects). There are also things that are removed based on who is logged in etc. so my load/reload needs to be in code behind direct event in order to access the data model. When the form loads, the tree/nodes are loaded and looks great. When my direct even is called, the nodes in the form are not refreshed. My searches for this in this forum returns all 1.x related problems.

Thanks in advance,
Robb

                                        <ext2:Node NodeID="root" Text="Actions" Expanded="true" />
                                    </Root>

Hi @Robb,

If you change a TreePanel's Root during a DirectEvetn, it won't affect to client automatically. You can call a TreePanel's Render method

menuActions.Render()

Then an entire TreePanel will be re-rendered with new nodes.

Another possible approach is:

Thanks, I was trying DoLayout but Render is what I was missing.
