How to: Refresh the Calling Form after Dialog Form action.

It is a very common scenario, where we need to refresh the data of a calling from, when you open a dialog or drop dialog.

To achieve this, we need to Override the CloseOk method of the Dialog form. below is the code for the same.

public void closeOk()

    {

        FormRun formRun;

        List dsList;

        ListEnumerator dsListEnumerator;

        FormDataSource formDS;

        super();

        // Get an instance of the calling form.

        formRun = element.args().caller();

        // If the caller is a form, find and refresh the specified root data source.

        if(formRun)

        {

            dsList = formRun.rootFormDataSources();

            if(dsList && dsList.elements() > 0)

            {

                dsListEnumerator = dsList.getEnumerator();

                while(dsListEnumerator.moveNext())

                {

                    formDS = dsListEnumerator.current();

                    formDS.research(true);

                }

            }

        }

    }
