suspendUpdate attribute
A boolean value showing whether the view should be updated when the document is modified. Typically used when an application programmer needs to modify a large portion of the document and does not want the view to be updated until all changes have been made.
If the value is set to true, the view is not updated when the document is modified. If the value is set to false, normal updates are restored, and all changes to the document will be immediately reflected in the corresponding view. If the view is an edit view, this value only affects the modifications happened within the same script this value is set, and all edit views of the same document are affected. When the script finishes executing, the views will be updated. If the view is a dialog view, the value only affects the view it is set to, and the value affects the view until it is set to a different value .
