IMxDocument.DelayUpdateContents Property

Indicates document update notifications should be ignored.

[Visual Basic .NET]
Public WriteOnly Property DelayUpdateContents
[C#]
public void DelayUpdateContents {set;}

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Desktop.

Remarks

Delays calling refresh of the current contents view.  For example, after loading a layer you should call UpdateContents to refresh the contents view (table on contents).  When loading several layers, there is no need to refresh the contents view after each layer is loaded; instead, delay refreshing the contents view until all the layers have been loaded. 

All calls to UpdateContents are ignored when DelayUpdateContents is set to TRUE.  To ensure the contents view is ultimately refreshed, UpdateContents is automatically called when DelayUpdateContents is set back to FALSE.
