Changes or returns the visibility status of the refresh bar in a Looper control.
This function can be used when the Looper control supports the "Pull-to-refresh" option. To enable this option in a Looper control:
  1. Open the Looper control description window.
  2. In the "Details" tab, in the "Moves and gestures" area, check "Pull to refresh".
  3. Validate.
Example
// Event "Pull to refresh" of a Looper control
// ---------------------------------------------------------
// Check the display of selection bar because the refresh of
// Looper control data will be performed in a secondary thread.
// Otherwise, the refresh bar would be automatically hidden at the
// end of process execution.
LOOP_Data.RefreshVisible(True)
// Refreshes the data of the Looper control in a secondary thread
ThreadExecute("threadUPDLoop", threadNormal, ProcThreadUPDLoop)
// Procedure for refreshing the data of the Looper control
PROCEDURE ProcThreadUPDLoop()
// Run an HTTP request
HTTPRequest(...)
// Go back to the main thread to add the request content into the
// Looper control
ExecuteMainThread(ProcUPDLoop, HTTPGetResult())
END
// Procedure for filling data in the Looper control
PROCEDURE ProcUPDLoop(sData is string)
// Process the received data in order to populate the Looper control
...
// The Looper control data is refreshed,
// hide the refresh bar
LOOP_Data.RefreshVisible(False)
 
END
Syntax

Changing the state of the refresh bar Hide the details

<Looper control>.RefreshVisible(<Visible>)
<Looper control>: Control name
Name of the Looper control to be used.
<Visible>: Boolean
  • True to display the refresh bar,
  • False to hide it.

Getting the state of the refresh bar Hide the details

<Result> = <Looper control>.RefreshVisible()
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the refresh bar is displayed,
  • False if the refresh bar is hidden.
<Looper control>: Control name
Name of the Looper control to be used.
Remarks
  • During a "Pull-to-refresh", the refresh bar corresponds to the area displayed above the cells of the Looper control during the data refresh.
  • <Looper>.RefreshVisible is used, for example, to manage how the refresh bar is displayed when the data from the Looper control is refreshed in a secondary thread. This prevents the application from freezing (the example uses this method).
  • When the refresh bar is shown by <Looper>.RefreshVisible, the "Pull to refresh" event of the Looper control is not executed.
    Remark: You can force the execution of this event by using ExecuteProcess with the trtPullToRefresh constant.
  • To hide the refresh bar, <Looper>.RefreshVisible(False) must be called as many times as <Looper>.RefreshVisible(True) was run.
