How to kill display refresh while performing a task?

[bravaiser]

I have a custome procedure and takes a lot of resources, I thinks is becasue it recalculates the geometry each step inside of my procedure, is thre a way to kill display or stop refreshing while the procedure lasts? 

I would a appreciate any suggestion.

thanks

Hi,

You can use ThisApplication.Screenupdating = False to freeze the screen. After your done set it back to True. Make sure you catch any errors and set it back to True so you won't get stuck with a frozen application.
