ActionUpdateDelay property or DelphiVCL.Application.ActionUpdateDelay used to delay the call to DoActionIdle. This applies to native Windows development. The following example demonstrates the usefulness of this property:
- Create an MDI project with the main form, an MDI Child, and a TAction class.
- Link the TAction OnUpdate event to a method.
- Run the program and maximize the MDI child.
If you open Windows Task Manager, you can see that CPU usage for the MDI application is nearly 100%. However, if you set Application.ActionUpdateDelay to a non-zero value, the CPU usage for the application is significantly lower than 100%.
