Any way to defer Block Diagram drawing/updates?

[Jim_Kring]

I'm curious if there's a way to defer drawing the Block Diagram while a scripting sequence is happening.  There's a way to defer drawing the FP, but I don't know if this works for the block diagram, too.

I know this is an old post.  But have you found any answer yet?

The Top Level Diagram class has a defer method, but at least in 2011 calling it results in a property not found error.

The Application class has a Defer Drawing method which seems to suspend all the GUI updates in LV.

Here are the list of Property in TopLvDiag. am I looking at the right place?  I gave a look to AppClass, can't find it neither.

I didn't notice that it's marked as a private property, which is why you can't see it. Presumably, it's marked as private because it doesn't work.

The easiest way to do this is to not show the block diagram (set the VI property Block Diagram Window » Open = FALSE).  Scripting is much faster in that case.  Show it when you finish, if you want to see it.

tst is correct. The property was added but never made to work.
