Hi,
A query with Forms 4.5 . Have a requirement which I havent seen before in a form env.
Need to have two blocks on a form. One of the blocks autorefreshes at a pre-defined interval. But the refresh should not prevent the user from working on the other block. Something like a "ticker" is required. Multithreading sounds like the only option to me. But how do you do this in Forms 4.5 ? Or are there other ways ?
Thanks in advance.
Rahul

you can use timer for this purpose.
you'll have to create a timer in when-new-form-instance trigger where you specify the pre-defined interval.
then create a when-timer-expired trigger on the form level in which you write the code to query the block.
this way the form will automatically query the block at given interval.
hope this helps
