There is a property
.noRefreshes
you can set. This will turn off NetRefresh.

Bruce,

And I set this property where?
If I want to disconnect the refresh for all the application...
Do I need to set it in every procedure?

THanks
Alberto

The netrefresh object is global, so you only need to set it in one place.
You can set it anytime after the global netrefresh object has initalised.
Which is typically done in the Frame procedure.
So right-click there, go to source, and search for NetRefresh.

Cheers

Perfect!
THanks

Bruce,
When I do not turn of autorefresh I use ( only at the frame init):

Instances" = 100
NetOptions(net:SetMaxInstances,Instances")

But I still got the error 29

How to avoid it?

Thanks
Albert

Hi Alberto,

you're attacking this completely backwards.
You should be reducing the number of max Instances, not increasing it.

The error is coming from Windows, not the program. Remember some versions of windows have limits on how many ports can be open at a time, so you want to reduce the number of ports your program uses, not increase it.

OK, but...

Whats the effect of the port quqntity?
What happen if I reduce it to 1 or if I set it to 10?

THanks

It affects the number of instances of your program that can run on the machine and still communicate with each other.

If only 1 instance is allowed at a time on the machine, then set it to 1. I think the default is 5.

Remember for terminal services each user is an instance, so if you have 20 terminal services users on the machine then it needs to be set to 20.
