Variables.DoAutoSave

DoAutoSave(bSave As Boolean)

Parameters

bSave As Boolean

False = Stop writting into database. True = Start writting into database.

Remarks

With this method you have the opportunity to stop writting changes on properties into the database. This should bring up performance improvements.

Hint: Don't forget to make a .DoAutoSave(True) after a .DoAutoSave(False) otherwise data which has been typed in VBA won't be saved. The function doesn't work when the editor loses his focus (for example when the VBA code gets debugged).

Sample:

Sub DoAutoSave()

Dim zVariables As Variables 'Object from type Variables
Dim zVariable As Variable 'Child object from type Variables

'Fill the objects
Set zVariables = MyWorkspace.ActiveDocument.Variables
'Changes on properties should not be written into the database
zVariables.DoAutoSave (False)
'Read the first variable in list
Set zVariable = zVariables.Item(0)
'Changes on properties
zVariable.DynProperties("Unit") = "Volt"
zVariable.DynProperties("Name") = "Var_1"
'Now changes should be written into the database
zVariables.DoAutoSave (True)

End Sub
