The FreezeEvents(True) method freezes the control's events until the FreezeEvents(False) method is called. You can use the FreezeEvents method to improve performance of the control while loading data into it.

Purpose:

• FreezeEvents(True) is used to temporarily stop (or "freeze") a control from responding to any events (such as clicks, changes in value, etc.).
• FreezeEvents(False) re-enables (or "unfreezes") event handling for the control, allowing it to respond to events again.

Use Case:

• Imagine you're making multiple updates to a control, such as a list, a form, or a UI component, and you don't want the control to react to each individual change (e.g., trigger event handlers after each modification). You would use FreezeEvents(True) to pause event handling while making the updates, then use FreezeEvents(False) once all updates are complete.

Example Scenario:

• Let’s say you have a list where changing the selection triggers an event. You want to programmatically add several items to the list, but you don't want the selection-changed event to fire every time you add a new item:

  control.FreezeEvents(True)  // Stop event processing
  // Perform multiple changes to the control
  control.AddItem("Item 1")
  control.AddItem("Item 2")
  control.AddItem("Item 3")
  control.FreezeEvents(False)  // Resume event processing      

  Without freezing the events, the control might trigger its event handler each time an item is added. Freezing prevents that, ensuring that the control remains "quiet" during updates.

Benefits:

• Improved performance: Prevents unnecessary event handling during batch updates. Avoids unintended side effects: Stops event handlers from running when you don’t want them to (e.g., while setting up or modifying the control).
