Widget Refresh Tab

This topic describes how to configure the Refresh tab in the Property Editor for each widget.

Refresh Tab

Use the Refresh tab to specify when values that refer to external data, such as field values, are updated. If the widget does not refer to any external data, the Refresh tab options are disabled.

The following options are available for the Refresh contents field on the Refresh tab.

On page load: If this check box is selected, the content of the widget is retrieved when the form is initially displayed at runtime or in the form preview.

Note: This check box is selected by default.

On data change: If this check box is selected, the content of the widget is updated when the values of certain fields are changed at runtime or in the form preview. These are the fields that are bound to database fields in the widget Property Editors. (See Using the String Builder Tool for information about binding fields.)

On click: In the drop-down list box, select one of the buttons, images, or hyperlinks that are on this form. The content of the widget is updated when the control is clicked at runtime or in the form preview.
