    data
    text
    <p>I have a Word document (.docx) that has a series of charts. My code successfully updates the values behind a pie chart and Word appropriately displays the results (refreshes the front end of the chart, whatever you would like to call it).</p> <p>The same sadly cannot be said for a clustered bar chart. The values in the workbook update but the front end does not refresh to display the new values. </p> <p>Once I right click on the chart and select Edit Data (I do not even have to edit anything, just close the workbook window when it opens) it then refreshes the displayed values on the chart.</p> <p>Is there someway I can force a refresh of the front end without going through that? Closing the file and re-opening has no effect.</p> <p>What I have:</p> <pre><code>wordcon.Application wordapp = new wordcon.Application(); wordcon.Document docx = new wordcon.Document(); wordapp.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes[2].Chart.ChartData.Activate(); excelcon.Workbook excelwb = wordapp.ActiveDocument.InlineShapes[2].Chart.ChartData.Workbook; excelcon.Worksheet excelws = excelwb.Worksheets[1]; excelws.Cells[1, 2] = reference.top_issues_1_name; excelws.Cells[6, 1] = "a"; excelws.Cells[6, 2] = reference.top_issues_1; excelws.Cells[5, 1] = "b"; excelws.Cells[5, 2] = reference.top_issues_2; excelws.Cells[4, 1] = "c"; excelws.Cells[4, 2] = reference.top_issues_3; excelws.Cells[3, 1] = "d"; excelws.Cells[3, 2] = reference.top_issues_4; excelws.Cells[2, 1] = "e"; excelws.Cells[2, 2] = reference.top_issues_5; excelwb.Close(); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelws); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelwb); docx.SaveAs2(reference.chart_file_forked_path + reference.chart_file_forked_file_name); wordapp.Quit(); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(docx); Marshal.ReleaseComObject(wordapp); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
