Weather Underground APP notification flood

[bkenobi]

I have only been using WU since OpenWeatherMap required and API key.  In the past when I used it, there were no notifications.  In the current version, it appears that I have 1 notification for each item extracted from WU and it takes many seconds to finish flooding the notifications.  I could probably add a filter for each one of these, but there are so many it would be tough to click the red button for each of them.  Is there a reason it's displaying so many notifications in the first place?  I don't think anyone wants to see any of them, so can they just be turned off?

Yes, now it can be disabled thanks to the special Program.UiRefresh event introduced with r499.
All of the Program.RaiseEvents can be now replace with:

Code: [Select]

Program.Parameter("<param>").Value = "<value>";
and just have at the end of the values update:

Code: [Select]

Program.RaiseEvent("Program.UiRefresh", "Data updated", "");

Program.UiRefresh event is a special event to let the widget know that the UI can be refreshed with updated values.
I will include this modification to the app in next release.

This is the updated Program Code (it works with r499 already):

Code: [Select]

var sunsetEvent = "Sunset";
var sunriseEvent = "Sunrise";

Sounds good.  Thanks for the quick fix.
