AutoUpdField Attribute
Data Type: smallint
4GL Access: RW
The AutoUpdField attribute, which applies only to FrameExec objects, indicates whether the OpenROAD runtime system automatically issues the UpdField method when it determines that the application has changed the value of a field.
In a frame where you repetitively change the values of fields, you can achieve performance benefits by setting the AutoUpdField attribute to FALSE before performing the repetitive changes.
Resetting AutoUpdField to TRUE affects only future changes to fields in the frame.
Default: TRUE
Note: When you set AutoUpdField to FALSE, it becomes your responsibility to issue the UpdField method explicitly to ensure that the current value of a field is displayed.
