Description
Stops updating the active window. Use Freeze Window to hide actions from the user while
FileMaker Pro performs the remainder of the script. Use Refresh Window after Freeze
Window to resume updating the window.
Note A Refresh Window step is not needed if it would be the last step in a script. FileMaker
Pro automatically turns off Freeze Window and refreshes the display when a script ends.
Use Refresh Window to force a window update within a script.
