Refreshing a card

[Monte Goulding]

Hi Mark

What do you mean by moving off the card and back on? Go to a different card of that stack or suspend and resume stack / application?

Also you may need to provide your setprop handler for this property because there's nothing wrong with your menu code.

Cheers

Monte
