How to refresh items in content area on mouse click?

I have a scenario where I change the content area items on server side and when the editor click on the CA (ie. editor want to D&D items) I need to refresh the CA content tree.

Did someone tried something similar?

Hi Praful, 

Thank you on your quick response. I already readed that article ( and any other that I could find regarding this) and I use it for a start point.

I track what events are triggered on mouse click on CA or CA item and write this JS file :

define([
    "dojo",
    "dojo/_base/array",
    "dojo/_base/lang",
    "dojo/_base/declare",
    "dojo/topic",

    "dijit",

    "epi/_Module",
    
    "epi-cms/contentediting/editors/ContentAreaEditor"
    ],
    function (
        dojo,
        array,
        lang,
        declare,
        topic,

        dijit,

        _Module,
        
        _contentAreaEditor
    ) {
        return declare([_Module, _contentAreaEditor],
        {
            initialize: function() {
                this.inherited(arguments);

                topic.subscribe("focusNode", lang.hitch(this, "_onFocus"));
                topic.subscribe("widgetBlur", lang.hitch(this, "_onBlur"));
            },

            _onFocus: function (data) {
                console.log("onFocus: ", data);
                var item = dijit.byId(data.id);
                console.log("f-dijit: ", item);
            },

            _onBlur: function (data) {
                console.log("onBlur: ", data);
                console.log("b-dijit: ", dijit.byId(data.id));
            }
        });
    }
);

And I stack here. I can't izolate the clicked widget and than to call a web api method or something.

Hi,

I think the solution: Refresh on click is not good for UX. Otherwise we can use a kind of SignalR and publish/subscribe event from server and refresh content area data or could be better we will push new notification like: "[PropertyName]'s value was changed, click [here] to refresh". (This behaviour like notfication when we have more than one editor is working on the same page.)

Hi Ha Bui, 

Thank you on your response and time. I am rethinking the whole situation and looking into other options.
