with-atomic-redisplay

Summary

Thewith-atomic-redisplay macro delays the updating of a pane until all state changes have been performed.

Syntax

with-atomic-redisplay (pane) &body body

Description

MostCAPI 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 macrowith-atomic-redisplay defers all visible changes to the state of the pane until the end of the scope of the macro.

Compatibility Note

The pane argument was new in LispWorks 3.2, and hence code written for 3.1 will have to be changed to supply it.
