Andrew,

The datas are restore when the preopencontrol of the datagrid is
invoked, so when you go the first time to the "LocalData" card.
Your data is refreshed by storing a new set with the set dgData... statement.

No need here to refresh the datagrid.

Personally and for now, I'm using only hidden datagrids which contains
parameters I wrote myself by hand.
I can sort content of those datagrids, find lines, copy lines and
sample columns with no refresh, and all works like a charm.
