Forum > IWAppFormResize not updating properties

11-29-2022, 02:31 PM:

Hello!

I put a TIWButton on a form. In the IWAppFormResize event I execute:

Procedure TScreenInterfaceForm.IWAppFormResize(Sender: TObject);

Begin

IWButton13.Caption := FormatDateTime('hh:nns', Now);

End;

When I'm resizing the form nothing changes on the button even as I can see that the event is executed!?

But if I add a click event to the button and execute the same code it is updated.

procedure TScreenInterfaceForm.IWButton13Click(Sender: TObject);

begin

IWButton13.Caption := FormatDateTime('hh:nns', Now);

end;

Whats the difference? Why does changed to properties not reflect on screen? Do I have to invalidate or refresh for changes to be sent to screen?

Best regards, Mikael

I also tried to solve this with a timer:

Procedure TScreenInterfaceForm.IWAppFormResize(Sender: TObject);

Begin

IWTimer1.Enabled := True;

End;

procedure TScreenInterfaceForm.IWTimer1Timer(Sender: TObject);

begin

IWTimer1.Enabled := False;

IWButton13.Caption := FormatDateTime('hh:nns', Now);

end;

The strange thing is that "IWTimer1.Enabled := True;" is executed, but the timer event never fires!?

Why? I'm so fustrated over IntraWeb.....

Best regards, Mikael
