You cannot refresh a form "in the middle of a event", because refreshing a 
widget is in fact answering a event, and you cannot answer two events at the 
same time !

Fortunately, You can use the WAIT instruction in your event handler. This 
instruction calls recursively the event loop, so the refresh events can be 
processed inside your event handler.

But be careful, calling the event loop can imply the call of your event 
handler, and lead to a infinite recursion and a stack overflow.
