Refreshing dialog box controls?
I have a dialog with a button that triggers a custom action when clicked. The CA sets a property that is linked to an edit box in the dialog. Is there a way to refresh the edit control after the CA returns? The property doesn't need to be editable, would it work with a text control?
Thanks for helping.

It is always tricky to get the dialog to refersh and show an updated property value, but one common trick to to clone the dialog and after running the CA, bring up the cloned dialog. It appears that the dialog did not change, yet the property value is updated. On the cloned dialog that you sent them to, set it to send them back to the original dialog should they choose to update the property again.
