Hi,
in my application I've got a couple of views that are connected together (one is a producer and one is a consumer). Everything works fine, but I'd like to change the background color of some rows of the detail view depending on the selection of the master view. I know how to change background in the label provider, but I don't know how to emit a "refresh" of the detail view without changing its content. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Does calling update() on the specific element work?
