Refreshing local html page

[Jeff]

I have a simple dialog that when during startup it does a quick inventory of the server. Such as the server name, IP address and low disk space and dumps it out to an html file. The dialog displays this file using the com control object. I have added a refresh button to reinventory the server, update the html file and then repost. Does anyone know how to do this?

I'm not sure if you are referring to updating the dialog when you say "does anyone know how to do this?", but if you are..
There are basically 2 kinds of WinBatch Dialogs..
Standard and Dynamic. ... have a look in the Tech database and in the Help files for the differences and examples on how to make and use them.

Put simply, unless you use a Dynamic Dialog.. (i.e. one that can update the dialog while keeping it open), then you need to loop around when the dialog closes (Using If ButtonPushed= ... , then and Goto etc. to work out if your button was pushed rather than the cancel button and what to do), running most of your code again, which should redisplay your standard dialog again but with the new data.

This is not the full code but I think this will give you an idea. In "Pushbutton_Refresh" I am trying to update the information in report.html and represent it in "com_control1". If anyone knows, I appreciate the help.

OK.. you are using a dynamic dialog.
You need to reload the new updated HTML file somehow.
So, first, in your Dialog's Init section, you need to get a handle on the HTML Com control, and then you can manipulate the document in it.
Use something like:
objBrowser = DialogObject(MyDialog_Handle, "ComControl_1", DLGOBJECT_GETOBJECT)

We then use this handle to update the source of the HTML

Inside the Button click event where it looks like you already have the UDF calls to recreate your HTML file, put a line at the end to reload the source of the html document.
I can't remember off-hand, and can't test here (at home now), but you should be able to find the right syntax in the Tech Database or online somewhere.
I think it should be something like:
objBrowser.parentwindow.location.Reload

or perhaps just objBrowser.Reload
or maybe even objBrowser.Navigate(sourcefilename)

Like I said, I can't remember the syntax and I'm on a PC without WB here.

Try it out and with a bit of digging around you should get it going in the end.

[Deana]

Yes, maybe try adding this to the refresh button event: 

Code (winbatch) Select Expand

;Get an object reference to the webbrowser comcontrol
objBrowser = DialogObject( MyDialog_Handle, "ComControl_1", DLGOBJECT_GETOBJECT )
here = "file://": HTMLFILE
objBrowser.Navigate(here)
