IHTMLScreen::get_updateInterval Method

---

Retrieves the update interval for the screen.

Syntax

HRESULT get_updateInterval(
    long *p 
);

Parameters

p

Address of a long variable that receives the number of milliseconds between updates to the screen. This parameter receives zero if the update interval is disabled.

Return Value

Returns S_OK if successful, or an error code otherwise.

Remarks

The interval causes update requests to the window to be queued and then performed in the given millisecond intervals. The purpose is to limit screen repainting and increase the overall painting performance, especially if there is an overabundance of flipbook-style animations.

Use this property judiciously—a value too small or too large will adversely affect the page-rendering response.
