Auto Refresh NetWebBrowse

[rupertvz]

Hi Guys,

I'd like to auto-refresh a NetWebBrowse based on a specific field-value being returned by an ACCESS:FILE.FETCH() file method.

The file method ACCESS:FILE.FETCH() should automatically be called every 20 seconds - after the insert.

In other words,

As soon as the user inserted a record in the NetWebBrowse;
The NetWebBrowse should check for a field value in a "non-related" table every 20 seconds.
The NetWebBrowse should refresh as soon as it founds the expected value.

... Until a next record is inserted.

I am not too sure which embed point to use for this?

you can't "push" from the server to the client. There is no connection to push on.
so the trigger has to come from the browse - maybe a timer (never a good idea) maybe a button the user presses to refresh the browse - something along those lines.

cheers
Bruce

Thanks Bruce,

I've build in a button for the user to press to refresh the browse.
It is working, however, I am not sure how to get the user to keep on refreshing the browse, as the background process may only complete in 30 - 40 seconds,

I've put a message on the screen, but was hoping for something more practical ...
