Changing the Now() function's polls period

slaheddinekeyru — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 14:17:18 GMT

Hello,

The Now() function polls the operating system every second. Is there any solution to do it every 0.1 second ?

Thank you in advance

Maybe with this: load script - get actual time with milliseconds.

Thank you Marcus for your answer

Actually I want to use now() function to make text blinking. I'm using now() function to manage a conditionnal display of my text object But I want to reduce the blinking period by changin polls period.

I'm not sure if blinking text will increase the user-experience - maybe there are other ways to highlight anything to the users attention. Beside them within the gui you could by using the desktop client or the IE plugin use the timer-logic from the link above and within the AJAX client you will quite probably need an extension. Maybe you could adjust some existing with something like this: JavaScript getMilliseconds() Method.

Thank you Marcus. But I avoid using extension for a minor functionnality.

I deed, In my app blinking text will increase the user-experience.

I think that this is a big omission from Qlik. Such a function can be very usefull even for other use cases.
