Can you freeze the front panel until hidden objects become visible

[what_do_you_need_an_alias_for]

I use property nodes to hide and unhide a large number of objects, but when they are in a transition they don't all change at once and it doesn't look very good when they are all randomly appearing or disappearing. Can I fix this in some way other than using tabs.

What,

There is a front panel property "Defer Panel Updates" that you can use. What you do is read the value, then set it to true. You then unhide all the objects and after your are done you set the property back to what you originally read.

This should stop the panel from drawing at all, and then it will do 1 large refresh and draw all the controls together.
