Hi,

I'm building a "Server management console" in which the administrator can
see which users (clients) are logged-in and which actions they are taking.
Now my problem is the following;
For the logging of different info, i use datatables (e.g. a table for
"clients" one for "files open" one for "records locked" etc). When one of
the clients does something ( like logging-off, signing-in, opening a file..)
I alter the datatable (e.g datatable.row.delete). All these happenings get
processed ok, datatables are filled/altered correctly. My problem is in the
refreshing of the treeview/listview.
On top of the console i have some buttons, if you press one, i fill the
treeview with the data of one of the datatables, and depending on what node
is selected, I fill the listview in the same manner.
Ok imagine the following situation;
on the left the trieview with 2 users logged in, both with 2 files open.
Treeview shows "users"(parentnode) and "user1"& "user2" as two subnodes. I
select user2, listview shows two lines which shows info about the files
opened by user2. in the listview I select the second line.
I have a timer running which checkes every second which tree-/listview is
open (to know which datatables are used) and accordingly if any changes have
been made to the datatables that are displayed. All works like a
charm....When the management console has the focus.. and this is where my
problem sets in. I want the console to refresh also when it doesn't have the
focus. But i can't figure out how.
1.How do I know which nodes are selected
2.How do I "rebuild" the tree-/listview on the background (I rebuild like
this, which works fine with focus, tv.beginupdate, tv.clear,
tv.nodes.add....etc, tv.endupdate)

Hope someone can shed me some light on this issue.
If, after reading this, you think there is a better way of achieving what
i'm trying to achieve, pls let me know.
