Pause View Refresh

[JSal85]

I  have a view with several pages of plots.  When I switch data sets I spend a lot of time waiting for the view to refresh the plots.  Is there a way to pause the view panel from refreshing while I load a new dataset and run a script?

Hi JSal85,

There are two things I can think of to try, both of them programmatic, ideally before you load the new data set:

View.AutoRefresh = FALSE
Call UIAutoRefreshSet(FALSE)

Brad_Turpin,

I have tried this and it does not seem to work.  I still have to wait for the view to refresh when I load new data or run a script.  See attachment.

Hi JSal85,

I'm sorry, I'm all out of silver bullets.  It is unfortunately the case that with lots of VIEW graphs on lots of sheets, when you load a large amount of data it can take a while to refresh all the graphs.  The two items I mentions will minimize this effect, but the core behavior remains.

Note that this is not the case in the REPORT panel, where all sheets refresh only on command or mouse click.
