Progress 4GL Reference

REFRESHABLE attribute

Indicates whether the rows that appear in a browse are refreshed when an application opens or repositions a query.

Note: When an application opens a query or repositions it multiple times, and refreshes the viewport each time, the display might flash, which is distracting. You can suppress the refreshing, and so reduce the flashing, by setting REFRESHABLE to FALSE.

Data type: LOGICAL

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: BROWSE widget

If REFRESHABLE is FALSE, when an application opens or repositions a query, the viewport is not refreshed. REFRESHABLE’s default value is TRUE.
