Posted on by pedrobizdirect

Hi,

I have a form viewer that shows some articles from a dataset, and i have a like button that when clicked, increments the like count of that article, it works fine but i have to navigate back and click again on the article to see the like count incremented.

Does anyone know any way i can somehow refresh the form viewer?

I have tryed to change the TextBox text myself but without success. Also i have tryed to use the function ResetForm and Submit.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I can see that you are mentioning abotu "Auto-Refresh".

The idea is:
- Insert a Timer
- Set the OnTimerEnd = FormulaAsOfYouClickAButton
- Set Start, AutoStart, Reset, Repeat = True
- Set the Duration = anyduration you want to refresh; 1000ms = 1sec.

Please try it out.

TQ

Hi @pedrobizdirect,

Would you please share more details about the Data Source and the form control you used ?

Also, please share the formula you configured with the Like button.

Based on my understanding, the form control you used here should be a display form control, which is used to show the article details, and the corresponding article is selected from a gallery, so the item of the form control should be Gallery.selected.

As Gallery.Selected is a templory data, only if you force refresh it (select again) , it will not update its data with the data source.

The way that I suggest here is to use filter function directly with the Like count Label control, formula under the Text property should be the format as below:

Filter(DataSource, ArticleName=Gallery.selected.ArticleName).LikeCount

After that, add a refresh(DataSource) code after the formula under the OnSelect property of the Like Button.

Doing it in this way should make the LikeCount in real-time.

Regards,

Michael
