Functionality question

Hi

I want to know if it is possible to build in JD Edwards an application that is able to refresh its contects periodically using a timer

As an example I'm trying to make a small applicarion that simply counts seconds and updates a Form Control to display the number, but the problem is that as is in the loop counting, then Form is not updated.

I tried also with a power form, to set the logic for the count in a child subform function and call that function from the parent, on the function also use the notify parent and update parent to refresh values of the counter (passed in the data structure), but the form does not refresh until the functions end.
