Should I call thisform.refresh or it would be enough to call thisform.txtMsg.refresh()?

The strange thing is, that it worked fine before without refresh(). Also if I click once on this control, all other messages are updated correctly during the execution of the form...
>>Today I ran this form and noticed, that txtMsg doesn't show any messages. However, then I click on it, it does show message. What could be a problem here?
