Refresh Task Window (Magic xpa 4.x)
This property determines whether the task window is refreshed after each record is processed and the Record Suffix is executed.
Magic xpa works on a single row at a time. Even in a multi-line display, in Line mode, only the currently highlighted line is refreshed and displays the exact values of the data view row. The other lines in the display are refreshed as soon as the input focus is moved to them. Therefore, it is possible that a non- highlighted line can be displayed without reflecting its most up-to-date values as stored in its data view row.
In another scenario, it is possible for the current data view row to contain some columns that also participate in another row of the same data view, be cause of a Link operation. In this case, the 'other' data view rows may also be displayed on the same screen, in Line mode, or in a parent task. If such a column is changed, the changes will be displayed only for the currently highlighted data view row. In such situations, it is a good idea to immediately reflect the changes in all the data view rows currently being displayed, using Refresh Task Window set either to Yes or to an expression. It is preferable to use an expression, if possible, because such refreshing can slow down task execution.
When Refresh task window = Y, XPA refreshes the view whenever position of any record in the view gets modified. This act of refreshing the view forces the newly parked record to be located again. The scroll bar appears even if number of records displayed in the view are lesser than the total view size. This behavior is same as the behavior on raising View Refresh event.
