force refresh on folder selection?

[Xorcist]

Is there any way to force a the grid to refresh when a treeview node is selected in the RadFileExplorer? On the first selection is appears to load up okay, but after that is seems to use the preloaded data. I need it to refresh each time the folder is selected if possible.

Hi Xorcist,

You can achieve the required result by handling the ClientFolderChange client-side event and call the client-side method clearFolderCache(), e.g.:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="RadFileExplorer1" runat="server" OnClientFolderChange="OnClientFolderChange">
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientFolderChange(explorer, args)
    {
        explorer.clearFolderCache();
    }
</script>

Thanks that worked great. Separate question, same topic. If I wanted to supply a similar refresh via the treeview context menu, so that the current folder is refreshed, how would I do that. I've looking through the RadFileExplorer.js file for some hints, but haven't come up with much. I already have a context menu item setup, I just need to be able to refresh the currently selected folder.

EDIT: I was able to get this partially working using a explorer.refresh() through the treeContextMenuClicked event, which works exactly one time. After a single refresh subsequent context menu operations fail to call the treeContextMenuClicked function. I use the following code to attach the event handler in the OnClientLoad event of the RadFileExplorer:

var tree = explorer.get_tree();
if (tree) { tree.add_contextMenuItemClicked(rfeBrowser_treeContextMenuClicked); }

Any ideas why it would simply decouple after the first call?

Hi Xorcist,

The client-side refresh() method of the RadFileExplorer forces refresh to both grid and treeview. When the treeview is refreshed the entire control is recreated, thus the contextmenu click handler need to be assigned again. Please review the following help article for example on how to add custom item on the treeview's context menu:
Adding a custom button to the toolbar and an item to the tree context menu

Hi Rohan,

I am not quite sure why the above provided code does not force the TreeView reloading and I will need to reproduce the problem on my side in order to provide a working solution.

This is why, could you please open a formal support ticket an send me a fully runnable project? Once I have a better view over the implementation itself I will try to provide a solution.

Kind regards,
