OBJECT.REFRESH_LAYOUT Function

Syntax

.Refresh_layout()

Description

Refreshes the layout. Same as hitting the F5 key or selecting Refresh Display from the menu.

The <OBJECT>.REFRESH_LAYOUT() method applies to:

Browses (for <OBJECT> use either the <BROWSE> pointer or the name of the browse)
Forms (for <OBJECT> use either the <FORM> pointer or the name of the form)

The <OBJECT>.REFRESH_LAYOUT() method refreshes the layout, as if you had pressed F5 or selected Refresh Display from the menu. Attach the <OBJECT>.REFRESH_LAYOUT() method to the onactivate event to show changes to a form layout.

Example

dim ptr as P
ptr = form.view("Customer Information")
ptr.Refresh_Layout()

If you need to resynchronize the data as well, then you will need a bit more, but the form needs to be in view mode.

parent.commit()'Makes sure form is in view mode
parent.resync()
parent.refresh_layout()

Limitations

Desktop applications only.
