Refresh Screen

How do you automatically refresh a screen in Genie? I need to hit the ENTER button every 5 minutes.

Hi Bernard.

For 1 particular screen?

This can be done using JavaScript timers:

Basically you'd want to use 'setTimeout()' from the 'onload' event of the screen, storing the return value. Then use the 'onsubmit' event to cancel the timer so that it doesn't fire after a normal screen submit. Something along these lines (untested):

Code: Select all

// In onload event: 

// Global variables are properties of 'window', so 'window.myTimer' in effect creates a global variable 'myTimer' on the page. Should really attach to a predefined object, maybe defined in 'custom.js'...

window.myTimer;
myTimer = setTimeout(function() {

  myTimer = null;
  pressKey("Enter");

}, 300000);

// In 'onsubmit' event: 
if (myTimer != null) {

  clearTimeout(myTimer);
  myTimer = null;

}

Thanks. That worked.
