Property Boolean Dynamic_Update_State
| Read Access: | Get Dynamic_Update_State to BooleanVariable |
| Write Access: | Set Dynamic_Update_State to BooleanVariable/Value |
The Dynamic_update_state property determines whether or not the image of an object that can be seen will be updated when a change to the object occurs. Each time the data in the visible portion of an object changes, the object will update the screen image of that object. There are often times when mass changes are being performed on the object that this automatic update becomes a problem. The programmer may change the update status of the object during the update process.
procedure do_a lot
integer old_state
get dynamic_update_state to old_state
set dynamic_update_state to false
send change_object_a lot
set dynamic_update_state to old_state
end_procedure
When an object's dynamic_update_state is set to true, it will send itself a paint message to ensure that the display correctly reflects the data maintained by the object.
Default is true.
