system.db.refresh

This function is used in Python Scripting.

Description

This function will cause a Vision component binding to execute immediately. This is most often used for bindings that are set to Polling - Off. In this way, you cause a binding to execute on demand, when you know that the results of its query will return a new result. To use it, you simply specify the component and name of the property on whose binding you'd like to refresh.

Even though the function includes "db" in the name, the function can update all types of Vision component bindings, including Property and Expression bindings.

note

Note: This function will only work within the Vision module. To manually execute bindings in Perspective, use the refreshBinding component method.
