WinRefreshVisible (Function)

In french: FenRafraîchissementVisible

Modifies or returns the visibility status of refresh bar in a window.

This function can be used when the window supports the "Pull-to-refresh" option. To enable this option in a window:

Display the description window of window.
In the "Details" tab, in the "Other parameters" area, check "Pull to refresh".
Validate.

Example

// "Refreshing data" process of window
// -------------------------------------------------------------
// Asks to check the display of selection bar because the refresh of
// window data will be performed in a secondary thread.
// Otherwise, the refresh bar would be automatically hidden at the
// end of process execution.
WinRefreshVisible(WIN_Products, True)
// Refreshes the window data in a secondary thread
ThreadExecute("threadUpdWindow", threadNormal, ProcThreadUpdWin)

//----------------------------------------------------
// Procedure for updating the window data
PROCÉDURE ProcThreadUpdWin()
// Run an HTTP request
HTTPRequest(...)
// Goes back to the main thread to display the request content in the window
ExecuteMainThread(ProcUpdUI, HTTPGetResult())
END

// ---------------------------------------------------
//Procedure for refreshing the window interface
PROCÉDURE ProcUpdUI(sData is string)
// Process the data received
// ...
// The data is updated, hide the refresh bar
WinRefreshVisible(WIN_Products, False)
END

True to display the refresh bar,
False to hide it.

<Window>: Character string (with or without quotes)

Remarks

During a "Pull to refresh", the refresh bar corresponds to the area displayed at the top of window during the data refresh.
WinRefreshVisible is used for example to check the display of refresh bar when the data found in the window is refreshed in a secondary thread. This prevents the application from being locked (the example is using this method).
When the refresh bar is made visible by WinRefreshVisible, the "Pull to refresh" process of window is not run.
Note: To force the execution of this process, use ExecuteProcess associated with the trtPullToRefresh constant.
To hide the refresh bar, WinRefreshVisible(False) must be called as many times as WinRefreshVisible(True) was run.
