Widget basics

How do I pass text from a automation program to a widget.. not really done much with widgets. Has anyone got any simple examples.. would like to dynamically update text from a plugin onto the widget

Thanks

So I managed to update the status text on my widget like this:


(program code)
Program.Parameter("MyModule.Status").Value = mesg;

(widget, RenderView)
var STATUS = HG.WebApp.Utility.GetModulePropertyByName(module, 'MyModule.Status').Value;
    this.statusText.html(STATUS);

HOWEVER:

The problem I am having is that it never refreshes uinless I also have a Program.Notfy

Is there any way to force a widget to redraw on status change?

Answered my own question:

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

It's just the default widget with the above lines added. Have mailed it to you.
