Prevent window update

Question: How can I temporarily prevent any given window from updating? Answer: Make a call to the Windows API function LockWindowUpdate with the handle of the Window you wish to lock as a parameter. Send a zero as a parameter to enable updating and to restore the drawing. LockWindowUpdate(Memo1.Handle); . . LockWindowUpdate(0);
