TdxRibbonSkinSelector.BeginUpdate Method

Postpones all control redraw operations that reflect any skin selector state changes until an EndUpdate procedure call.

Declaration

procedure BeginUpdate;

Remarks

Every time you change available skin or palette lists, or change any appearance or behavior setting, the Ribbon Skin Selector redraws its content to reflect the change. Enclose multiple content and setting changes between BeginUpdate and EndUpdate procedure calls to avoid UI flickering due to excessive redraw operations and improve performance.

BeginUpdate/EndUpdate Calls and Batch Changes

A BeginUpdate procedure call disables notifications and postpones all changes until an EndUpdate call. A subsequent EndUpdate call does the following:

• Re-enables change notifications and corresponding redraw operations
• Applies all changes made after a BeginUpdate call
• Sends corresponding notifications in a batch
• Redraws the Ribbon Skin Selector

Note

Ensure that every BeginUpdate procedure call is followed by an EndUpdate procedure call, even if an exception occurs. Otherwise, the Ribbon Skin Selector remains frozen and unresponsive.
