Your application can obtain the current state of all conditions which are active, or which are inactive but unacknowledged, by requesting a “refresh” from an event subscription. The component will respond by sending the appropriate event notifications to the application, via the event handlers, for all conditions selected by the event subscription filter. When invoking the event handler, the component will indicate whether the invocation is for a refresh or is an original notification. Refresh and original event notifications will not be mixed in the same event notifications.
If you want to force a refresh, call the RefreshEventSubscription method, passing it the subscription handle.
