Automatic Refresh Inventory Monitor screen

[Joe Boyle]

If it works in Powerhouse it should work in Axiant. Have you tried a fat
client Axiant screen ? If it works there also, you may have a case for a bug
fix - but I'm not sure if Axiant is supported beyond 3.1 on Mpe.

Having said that, I have no idea what your Mpe code is actually doing in
terms of refreshing the screen and how quick is interacting with the
operating system - could you offer more information to the non Mpe members ?

It works in powerhouse (hp3000 mpe), but once you want to test it in Axiant,

it's true, it loops.

I will reformulate my question.

Is it any other way to do an automatic screen refresh every XX seconds, 
without any user interaction.
The only methode we found, it's the one in have in the code attached here.
But it's only working in Powerhouse, not in Axiant.
Any idea of other methodes ?
