Refreshing display.

I am sure I am missing something simple. I don’t seem to be able to find any documentation no how to refresh the display grid after a document has been added to the collection or even just after changing the profile.
The simple code below will update the description of the document, but not display this change until I click refresh on either desksite or worksite. Can someone point me in the correct direction

Dim rpSelectedNRTDocuments As Array = mContext.Item "SelectedNRTDocuments")
Dim objdoc As IManDocument = rpSelectedNRTDocuments(0)
objdoc.Description = "Display this change in grid"
objdoc.Update()
objdoc.Refresh()

Cheers for any help

For DeskSite, to let DeskSite source know that the grid needs to be refreshed, you would need to either:

- try using the IManExt.Refresh Contextitem, mContext.Add "IManExt.Refresh", True

or

- try using the VB Sendkey "{F5}" to programmatically refresh the grid

For FileSite (and only 8.1 and forwards) this is the pair of contextitems supported for refreshing the doc grid:

"IManExt.Refresh", True //this contextitem should always be set to signal a refresh.
"RefreshFolderContents", True // this contextitem is set to refresh the doc grid.

You should not have to call .Refresh on the document object because it is a low-level api (imanage.dll) call to get the latest from the WorkSite database; it has no bearing on refreshing the doc grid control from within the client app.
