Refreshing a char sheet?

[Druthlen]

I have a function that adds widgets, these widgets are dots.
I plan on linking the dots to a shortcut for discipline features.
However as I add dots, the char sheet must be exited and reentered to display the new dots.

How do I refresh the screen?

/reload might work. Otherwise probably the way you are doing it.

Well I was hoping for something like:


inside the template.LUA

function updateStatus()
window.update();
end

Then inside the XML file

                        function onInit()
				update();
			end
			function update()
				local bReadOnly = WindowManager.getReadOnlyState(getDatabaseNode());
				name.update(bReadOnly);
			end

This doesn't work however. /reload just reloads the ruleset and I am looking for a way to refresh the screen after a handleDrop function.
Also here is how I am adding the widgets

local readonlyflag = false;
levels = {};
local nMaxSlotRow = 10;
local nDefaultSpacing = 10;
local nSpacing = nDefaultSpacing;
local clicknX = {};
local clicknY = {};

function onInit()
	setIcon(stateicons[1].off[1]);
	--initals value as 0
	local node = DB.setValue(node, "level", "number", 0);
	--grab value
	node = window.getDatabaseNode();
	
	
	
	local initialnode = nil;
	
	if spacing then
		nSpacing = tonumber(spacing[1]) or nDefaultSpacing;
	end
	
	setAnchoredHeight(nSpacing*2);
	setAnchoredWidth(nSpacing);
	
	
	if node then
		-- Determine readonly state
		if NodeManager.isReadOnly(node) then
			readonlyflag = true;
		end
		
		-- Determine the name we should use for the node
		local srcname = getName();
		local srcvalue = node.getChild("level").getValue()
		local i = 1;
		while srcvalue >= i do
			local widget = nil;
			widget = addBitmapWidget(stateicons[1].on[1]);
			
			local nW = (i - 1) % nMaxSlotRow;
			local nH = math.floor((i - 1) / nMaxSlotRow);
		
			local nX = (nSpacing * nW) + math.floor(nSpacing / 2);
			local nY;
			if srcvalue > nMaxSlotRow then
				nY = (nSpacing * nH) + math.floor(nSpacing / 2);
			else
				nY = (nSpacing * nH) + nSpacing;
			end
	
			widget.setPosition("topleft", nX, nY);
			local disciplinename = DB.getValue(node, "name", ""):lower();
			local sRecord = "reference.disciplines." .. disciplinename .. "@VtM 20th Anniversary Edition";
			local sFormat = Interface.getString("char_message_disciplineadd");
		local sMsg = string.format(sFormat, sRecord, DB.getValue(nodeChar, "name", ""));
		ChatManager.SystemMessage(sMsg);
			--DB.setValue(widget, "shortcut", "windowreference", "referencediscipline", sRecord);
			levels[i] = widget;
			i = i + 1;
			updateStatus();
		end
	end
end

function updateStatus()
	window.update();
end

--[[function onClickDown(button, x, y)
	return true;
end]]--

function onClickRelease(button, x, y)
	
	Interface.openWindow("referencediscipline", window.getDatabaseNode());
end

function setReadOnly(state)
	readonlyflag = state;
end

Oh, I have the chat messager in there as a debugging tool, it should be removed.

If your code is running in onInit it will only do it on initialising the sheet.
Move the code to a function like onChangeValue or similar an in onInit also call the onChangeValue function.
That is how most of the systems do it.
