Posted on by dvalenzuela 48

Hi all,

In my app i have a button with the next

OnSelect property: UpdateContext({Weather: MSNWeather.CurrentWeather("Redmond"; "Metric")})

So it gives me uv number and description over Redmond, WA

 

I need that button run periodically every hour for example, or with a timer. Without the need to do clic

 

Thanks for your help

    You can use a Timer control for that; if you set the following properties on the control:

    Duration: 60000 // This sets the timer to 1 minute; change to your desired refresh time
Repeat: true
AutoStart: true
Start: true
OnTimerEnd: Select(NameOfYourButton)

    With this, the timer will be started, and every 60 seconds (or the time you specify in the Duration property) it will invoke the OnSelect expression that you have on your button.

    Hope this helps!
