Example

// Event "Pull to refresh" of a Looper control
// ---------------------------------------------------------
// Asks to check the display of selection bar because the refresh of
// Looper control data will be performed in a secondary thread.
// Otherwise, the refresh bar would be automatically hidden at the
// end of process execution.
LOOP_Data.RefreshVisible(True)
// Refreshes the data of the Looper control in a secondary thread
ThreadExecute("threadUPDLoop", threadNormal, ProcThreadUPDLoop)

// Procedure for refreshing the data of the Looper control
PROCÉDURE ProcThreadUPDLoop()
// Run an HTTP request
HTTPRequest(...)
// Go back to the main thread to add the request content into the
// Looper control
ExecuteMainThread(ProcUPDLoop, HTTPGetResult())
END

// Procedure for filling data in the Looper control
PROCEDURE ProcUPDLoop(sData is string)
// Process the received data in order to fill the Looper control
...
// The Looper control data is refreshed,
// hide the refresh bar
LOOP_Data.RefreshVisible(False)

END

Syntax

Modifying the visibility status of refresh bar Hide the details

<Looper control>.RefreshVisible(<Visible>)

<Looper control>: Control name

Name of Looper control to use.

<Visible>: Boolean

True to display the refresh bar,
False to hide it.

Finding out the visibility status of refresh bar Hide the details

<Result> = <Looper control>.RefreshVisible()

<Result>: Boolean

True if the refresh bar is displayed,
False if the refresh bar is hidden.

<Looper control>: Control name

Name of Looper control to use.

Remarks

During a "Pull-to-refresh", the refresh bar corresponds to the area displayed above the cells of the Looper control during the data refresh.
The <Looper>.RefreshVisible function allows, for example, to control the display of the refresh banner when updating Looper control data in a secondary thread. This prevents the application from being locked (the example is using this method).
When <Looper>.RefreshVisible makes the refresh bar visible, the event "Refreshing by pull/release" of the Looper control is not run.
Remark: It is possible to force the execution of this event by using function ExecuteProcess with the constant trtPullToRefresh.
To hide the refresh banner, it is necessary to call <Looper>.RefreshVisible(False) as many times as <Looper>.RefreshVisible(True) has been executed.
