Description

The macro with-atomic-redisplay delays the updating of the specified panes and their descendants until the exit from the with-atomic-redisplay macro.

Most CAPI pane slot writers update the visual appearance of the pane at the point that their state changes, but it is sometimes necessary to cause all updates to the pane to be left until after they are all completed. The macro with-atomic-redisplay defers all visible changes to the state of each pane in panes until the end of the scope of the macro.

Notes

1. with-atomic-redisplay does not cause Graphics Ports drawing operations to the panes to be deferred.
2. with-atomic-redisplay can be used recursively. The actual display happens when exiting the outermost invocation.
