BeginUpdate Method

Summary
Stops the viewer from being refreshed if changes are applied. This is useful to increase the control speed efficiency.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
public void BeginUpdate() 
            public: 
void BeginUpdate();  
Remarks

This method will cause the viewer not to repaint if changes are applied. When the user calls the EndUpdate method, the viewer will repaint to show all the changes made. This is useful for better visual results and for speed efficiency.
