| Post subject: | BUG: forcing a widget to reload in code |
I have saved a number of settings to a preference.ini file and when the preferences are changed I wish to force the widget to reload (when the save button is pressed) so that the widget will restart with all new settings. So, is it possible to force a restart in code? (not from the menu). |

BUMP This didn't work for me either. I need a way to reload a widget from the menu. At the moment I am creating a menu option that calls a routine that runs widget.cmd("!Reload"); It does nothing. Does anyone have a method for reloading a widget from code? |

PUSH I would also like to reload the widget from the press of a button. Currently it seems to me, when the system is put to sleep, after waking up certain information does not refresh. eg.: weather information (in general), which can't be fixed by "update weather" alone, the widget has to be refreshed |

That's really useful information Jim. Good to know - we must document that somewhere, I am getting more involved in Xwidget now so will try to help there soon. I do need to be able to do this in code though. All my previous widget engines have a simple "Reload Widget" which exists to sort out widgets that are malfunctioning through getting confused, communication, thread, memory issues all sorted by a 'reload widget'. I reckon the function might be in there somewhere I just don't know whether or where. |

I reckon the function might be in there somewhere I just don't know whether or where. i don't know if the Reload command going to be available in next version or not... but as a temporary solution: you can send keyboard input in code by using ActiveX objects, so you can send F5 to your widget through code: example: Code: wsc=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell") widget.ForceToFround() wsc.SendKeys("{f5}") Comment: 1. 1st line will create activex object 2. 2nd line will make the widget to TopMost and Set Focus to it 3. 3rd line will send F5 key Note: make sure you set the focus to your widget before sending key to it (as i have done it in 2nd line), to prevent sending key incorrectly to other programs |
