WorldMapFrame:Refresh() or WorlmapFrame:Reload()
 

I've now found a way to display my pins via Blizzard pins. When the option is enabled in my addon, I simply remove certain Blizzard pins on the map and replace them with my pins. The problem; When you activate or deactivate the option, the Blizzard Pins on the map do not simply disappear, you first have to reopen/close the map or switch to another map so that the Blizzard Pins are no longer displayed.

Is there a command to refresh the map to show the changes? something like WorldMapFrame:Refresh() or WorlmapFrame:Reload() that works?

Closing/Opening would run

and
Maybe just running the OnShow() would do what you need?

No, unfortunately not, because I don't want to open the map I'm currently on, but the map I just opened

Try running WorldMapFrame:Reload() to refresh the map and see if it displays the changes after enabling or disabling the option in your addon.

Bear in mind I have never dabbled with the world map, let alone the new data provider code. So what I say below may be utter garbage rofl. But just in case it isn't.


Looking at Blizzard_WorldMap addon, I see multiple types of pins, so it might depend on which type of pin you have based your pins on.

function WorldMap_WorldQuestDataProviderMixin:RefreshAllData(fromOnShow)
> This appears to be for the various quest related pins and includes a call to *clear and refresh* the pin data.

function WorldMap_EventOverlayDataProviderMixin:RefreshAllData(fromOnShow)
> This one clears the pins, and then recreates them based on the current events

function WorldMapMixin:RefreshOverlayFrames()
> This one might be useful if your pins are part of your own overlay frame.

Hopefully these will offer you some ideas on what might work for you :) Good Luck.
