Application restart?

[mrdude]

I have set a background image in page properties, then this function to change it:

function backgrounds()
-- Display a single-selection file browse dialog
result = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Load Background File", _SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\Backgrounds\\", "Png File (*.png)|*.png|All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "", false, true);
result2 = String.Replace(result[1], [[\]], [[\\]], false);

-- If CANCEL was not chosen, then let's get the file path
if (result[1] ~= "CANCEL") then
    File.Copy(result2, _SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\Images\\Background.png", true, true, false, false, nil);
end
end

For the new background image to take effect I need to restart the application, I have tried Page.Redraw () and Application.SetRedraw(true); but I still need to restart the application for the background to change, how can I do this in apms?

Thanks.

You can use the Application.SetPageProperties.
e.g.

Application.SetPageProperties("Page1", {ImageFilename=_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Images\\Background.png"})

Thanks very much, that's worked.

I had to do this though because I have multiple pages:

function backgrounds()
-- Display a single-selection file browse dialog
result = Dialog.FileBrowse(true, "Load Background File", _SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\Docs\\Backgrounds\\", "Png File (*.png)|*.png|All Files (*.*)|*.*|", "", "", false, true);
result2 = String.Replace(result[1], [[\]], [[\\]], false);

-- If CANCEL was not chosen, then let's get the file path
if (result[1] ~= "CANCEL") then
    File.Copy(result2, _SourceFolder .. "\\AutoPlay\\Images\\Background.png", true, true, false, false, nil);
    tbPageProperties = {};
    tbPageProperties.ImageFilename = result2
	Application.SetPageProperties("Page1", tbPageProperties);
	Application.SetPageProperties("Page2", tbPageProperties);
	Application.SetPageProperties("Page3", tbPageProperties);  
	Page.Redraw();
end
end

Then at the top of each page propertied/on show (page 1)

Application.SetPageProperties("Page1", {ImageFilename=_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Images\\Background.png"})
Page.Redraw();

Then at the top of each page propertied/on show (page 2)

Application.SetPageProperties("Page2", {ImageFilename=_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Images\\Background.png"})
Page.Redraw();

I don't remember having to redraw each time I used to change background but why you reset the background each time you reset the page I not really understanding the point of changing a page can you send your APZ I sure something is a little wrong here.

For some reason when I switched between pages, not all the pages would have the new background until the page was redrawn, it's not a big deal though as you don't notice it and it's very quick, and it's working fine so......

You can also replace a background image with an Image Object.
Just add an Image Object on your page and let it handle the background with Image.SetProperties("Image1", {ImageFile=_SourceFolder.."\\AutoPlay\\Images\\Bac kground.png"});
