Try LockWindowUpdate with the handle of your TMemo, followed by LockWindowUpdate(0) when you're done.
HTH, C. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Peacocke Bloody stupid question I know, but I spent all day traversing 3 tons of spaghetti code and my mind is mush. Is there a way that I can tell a tMemo component not to keep updating when I process all the lines. I have a tMemo component with, lets say 5-10,000 lines. I want to process through each of those lines updating certain ones where necessary. for i := 0 to Memo1.lines.Count - 1 do If (Memo1.lines[i] = 'I can use this line') then DoThingsToTheLine; The problems is that I want to have the tMemo remain on the form, but I don't want it to keep updating to try to keep up with the current line that I'm processing. I've already tried Memo1.Enabled := false, but the frigging thing still keeps updating. I don't want to make it invisible as it looks really horrible. Any suggestions? _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe
