Is it possible to force Arcpad to auto-refresh every X minutes?

I want to do other thing periodically as well, to simplify, I'm using autorefresh as an example.

Thanks

Hi,

You could use the timer event and set it the refresh to the timer.

sub myTimer
 Application.Timer.Enabled = true
 Application.Timer.Interval = 60000 'In Milliseconds
End Sub

Now attach this to the timer event within an applet (.apa) or your configuration file (arcpad.apx)

Sub timerRefresh
 Map.Refresh
End Sub

Let me know how you go.

Cheers,

Thanks, got it working.
