SetSelectDisplay()

Controls whether selection operations update maps automatically.

SetSelectDisplay(boolean display_flag)

Argument	Contents
display_flag	If "True" all open maps are updated automatically when features are added to or removed from selection sets. If "False" maps are not updated when selection is performed.

If this flag is set to off, use RedrawMap() to update the map to show current selection settings.
Use SetSelectDisplay() when you want to perform a substantial number of selection operations without waiting for the map to update each time.
Use SetSelectAutoRedraw() to further control how maps are updated during selection operations.
Selection of records that are not map features never updates a map under any circumstances.
