Deleting Folders & Refreshing

aid

So, I'm trying to build a delete dialog as an ICommand. I do this because we need something like "You know that deleting folders is bad?"... "Are you really sure?"... "You know that, when you delete a folder, we won't be able to bring it back?"... "Really proceed?", ...

Everything's fine and I can delete a folder with something like:

selectedFolder.Parent.SubFolders.RemoveByObject(selectedFolder);

Problem is: how do I get the DeskSite (or FileSite) to refresh its display? By setting "IManExt.Refresh" to true, I get an error "this object is not valid anymore" (translation from German). But I think, I'm abusing this ContextItem .

Ideas?

egauthier

for refreshing set the following context items at the end of the execute method of your Icommand and it should do the trick:

mContext.Add("IManExt.Refresh", true);
mContext.Add("RefreshAllFolders", true);


However, I'm having doubts about the removeByObject method.

That's what I used to delete DocumentFolders in an 8.2 development (although it was outside of Filesite) and it was working like a charm.

Now the exact same code in 8.5 is not working. It says "Folder object not found"
While debugging, I have checked that the folder object is correct.

I've looked in the KB for existing bug but found nothing.
