Refresh Web Page

This function is not working from a thread:

Code: Select all

SetGadgetState(#WebGadget, #PB_Web_Refresh)

Works OK outside of the thread (via a button event for example) but I really need it to work from the thread - is that simply a no, cannot be done, or is it a bug or is there a way?

I'd use PostEvent() from inside the thread then, to simulate the button event.

From what I've always read here, you're not supposed to update gadgets from inside a thread.

Hi Barry

I have another thread to display the time in a Text Box, that works fine.............

Thanks for the PostEvent() tip, haven't used that before but sounds promising

Edit: PostEvent() solved the problem!

Glad to hear it!
