[SOLVED] How to disable a Stringgrid from updating.

[Zittergie]

Hi,

I want to randomize a stringgrid with a lot of data, but I want the randomized data only to be visible after all data is in place.  I do however want the application to show other updates, so I have a counter that does a Application.ProcessMessages once in a while.  But I don't want the stringgrid to update on Application.ProcessMessages.

Is this possible, or do I have to buffer all the data first?

I do not want to hide the Stringgrid, because the stringgrid is already filled, and has to stay visible until the update is complete.

Try:

Code: [Select]

StringGrid1.BeginUpdate;
// Your updates here
StringGrid1.EndUpdate;
