# XmTextDisableRedisplay(3)

A Text function that temporarily prevents visual update of the Text widget

## NAME

**XmTextDisableRedisplay** — A Text function that temporarily prevents visual update of the Text widget

## SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Text.h>
void XmTextDisableRedisplay(
Widget widget);
```

## DESCRIPTION

**XmTextDisableRedisplay** prevents redisplay of the specified Text widget even though its visual attributes have been modified.
