SP5 RenderManager: EnableRendering flag #3213
Description
For consistency it would be nice to add the RenderLock() and RenderLock() methods for consistency with previous behavior to compliment the PreRenderLock event handler added in #3095
Update: I'm going to add a EnableRendering flag to allow this:
void MyDangerousOperation(){
// disable new renders
formsPlot1.Plot.RenderManager.EnableRendering = false;
// wait for the current render to finish
while (formsPlot1.Plot.RenderManager.IsRendering) {}
// perform your dangerous operation
myScatterPlot.DataSource.Clear();
// permit new renders
formsPlot1.Plot.RenderManager.EnableRendering = true;
// force the plot to redraw
formsPlot1.Refresh();
}Note that EnableRendering skips renders while PreRenderLock hangs renders
