Run it in a timer. You can easily set the refresh rate then.

I tried that, but not sure how.........I tried doing a infinite loop with
time.refresh in it and before i did that i tried just doing a reguler for loop 100 times.........I think i got the concept of the timer wrong.

Then use the timer "event" to refresh whatever it is that you're trying to refresh.

The timer will then fire off whatever code you put in the event, at the interval you set.

Good luck!
