Icon BeginUpdate Method

procedure BeginUpdate

Available In: Visual Client Applications

Use this method to begin a batch update on an element. An element is in a batch update if the BeginUpdate method is called on the element, or any of its parent elements. When an element is in a batch update, it doesn't apply any changes to any of its properties until the EndUpdate method is called on the element or any of its parent elements, and the InUpdate property returns False.

Information Updates are reference-counted so calls to the BeginUpdate method increment the reference count, and calls to the EndUpdate method decrement the reference count.
