FILEMAKER PRO HELP 1090
Refresh Window
Purpose
Updates the entire contents of the FileMaker Pro document window, including any related records.
Format
Refresh Window [Flush cached join results; Flush cached external data]
Options
Select Flush cached join results to delete the results of queries for related records and cause
related records to be refreshed. Do not select this option if you know your script does not affect
related data, and if you want to minimize the performance impact of re-accessing related data
(particularly when sharing a database over a network).
Select Flush cached external data to delete the results of queries for related ODBC data source
records and cause related ODBC records to be refreshed. FileMaker
Pro dumps the internal cache
and refreshes record data. Do not select this option if you know your script does not access ODBC
data.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Refresh Window updates the visibility state of all objects with hidden conditions in the window.
You do not need to select Flush cached join results in order to refresh the entire window.
This script step updates records (rows) in the current ODBC table.
Note To update a single layout object without updating the entire window, use the Refresh Object
script step.
Example 1
Updates the Total field to include taxes and beeps after all records are updated.
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Set Field [Invoices::Total; Invoices::Total * Invoices::Tax]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last]
