SetMapRedraw()

Controls whether map windows redraw automatically.

SetMapRedraw(string map_name, boolean redraw_flag)

Argument	Contents
map_name	The name of the map, or null for the current map
redraw_flag	If "True" (the default), the map is redrawn automatically. If "False" map drawing is suppressed except for explicit calls toRedrawMap()

When a map is changed (e.g., by adding or removing layers, changing the scope or display settings) the map is marked to be redrawn automatically. The automatic redraw takes place when whenever its window is uncovered (e.g., when a dialog box is hidden, or another window that obscures a portion of the map is moved).
SetMapRedraw() prevents automatic map redraws, so that the map is drawn only when RedrawMap() is called.

SetMapRedraw("My Map", "False") // Turn off the automatic drawing...

... // Do a bunch of processing that affects the map

SetMapRedraw("My Map", "True") // Turn the flag back on

RedrawMap() // Redraw the map

Error Type	Meaning
NotFound	There is no map by the specified name

Function	Summary
GetMapRedraw()	Gets the current state of the redraw flag as set by SetMapRedraw()
SetMapSaveFlag()	Sets the flag that indicates whether a map has changed since it was last saved to a file
