How to Update the Alarm Summary and SOE screen for Citect SCADA V7.40 events logging ?

Manual refresh functionality is as per design for SOE and alarm summary. However, the button which refreshes events is TabAlarm_reloaddata(1).
Calling this function causes a manual refresh from the button.
The following is an example of cicode function which can be used to refresh alarm automatically as a simple work around.

FUNCTION MyAlarmList_Refresh(INT AN)
INT session = AlarmFilterEditOpen(AN);
IF (-1 <> session) THEN
AlarmFilterEditCommit(session);
AlarmFilterEditClose(session);
END
END
