absDisableUpdate

absDisableUpdate(
)
=> t / nil

Description

Both the absDisableUpdate and absEnableUpdate functions are used to control whether or not the graphical user interface updates in response to changes in, for example, bin selection. This ensures that the GUI does not update unnecessarily when several events in a row are processed. This is inserted by Abstract Generator into the record file.
