L_DispContainerBeginUpdate

Summary

Stops the viewer from being refreshed if any change is applied, it's generally useful to increase the control speed efficiency. To resume refreshing, use the L_DispContainerEndUpdate function.

Syntax

#include "ltivw.h"

L_LTIVW_API L_INT EXT_FUNCTION L_DispContainerBeginUpdate(hCellWnd, uFlags)

Parameters

L_HWND hCellWnd

A handle to the window that represents the Medical Viewer Cell.

L_UINT uFlags

Reserved for future use. Pass 0.

Returns

Value Meaning
SUCCESS The function was successful.
< 1 An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Stops the viewer from refreshing after each change is applied, until refreshing is resumed by calling L_DispContainerEndUpdate. At that point the viewer will repaint to show all of the changes that have been made. This is useful for better visual results and for speed efficiency.

Example

This example creates a medical viewer control and two cells. then it will ask whether the apply some effects on the cell with or without using BeginUpdate/EndUpdate. Run this sample twice and see the difference
