We needed auto refresh functionality in maintenance department for monitoring purposes . We created a new form and showed it on TV screen.
Settimeout method on Ax2012 has retired/deprecated and replaced with SetTimeOutEx function. You can use same logic to refresh your pages.
Here is a sample code on Fleetmanagement customer page:
[Form]
public class FMCustomer extends FormRun
{
public void init()
{
QueryFilter qFilter;
QueryBuildDataSource qbd;
super();
qbd = FMCustomer_DS.queryBuildDataSource();
qFilter = FmCustomer_DS.query().addQueryFilter(qbd, fieldstr(FMCustomer, FirstName));
qFilter = FmCustomer_DS.query().addQueryFilter(qbd, fieldstr(FMCustomer, LastName));
qFilter = FmCustomer_DS.query().addQueryFilter(qbd, fieldstr(FMCustomer, CellPhone));
qFilter = FmCustomer_DS.query().addQueryFilter(qbd, fieldstr(FMCustomer, Email));
}
/// <summary>
///
/// </summary>
public void run()
{
super();
element.setTimeOutex(identifierstr(refreshForm), conNull(),5000);
}
public void refreshForm(AsyncTaskResult _result)
{
if (!element.closed()) //otherwise will be executed even after form close.
{
element.setTimeOutex(identifierstr(refreshForm), conNull(),5000);
FMCustomer_DS.research(true);
}
}
}
