refresh

[smh]

How can I schedule a refresh to run every 5 minutes on my form without the user having to press a 'Refresh' button?

[kovan]

use API GetTickCount and a timer control
OR you can just use timer control and a variable that is incremented every time the timer does one minute (approx the max of how much a timer can do)

so every iteration of the timer control add 1 to a variable
and check if that =>5 then refresh and set the variable back to 0

if its less, add one and dont refresh

Use a timer control...

set the interval... 1000 per second
60000 for a minute...
(not sure if it will take a 300000 interval)

if not
with the 60000 interval...
use a simple x = x + 1 if x = 5 then etc...

should work fine

thanks

I should have known that, but I am not awake yet....
