I cannot believe this is the only way! Has one really to build a
complete new form if only one tiny field value has to be updated from
outside the form??
Look at the clock widget. It updates all the time without user
action (and without a need to rebuild the whole form of course).
Additionally, there's an "FL_STEP" event which has something
to do with updating without user interaction.
Additionally, there are tons of "fl_..." functions with an
"FL_OBJECT *obj" pointer as the first argument. I don't believe
they are only useful and accessible *before* a call to
"fl_end_form()".
Maybe it's trivial - I'm new to xforms and try to understand
the concepts and use of it. So far I found everything excellent
(including the docs!), but I didn't find a solution for my
update problem yet.
Frank.
