Defer Block Diagram Updates?

[DTaylor]

When doing lots of updates to a block diagram via VI Scripting, like adding/deleting several things or moving things around, is it possible to lump all the operations together so the user sees it all at once (like what you can achieve on front panels at runtime with the Defer Front Panel Updates property)? I've spent awhile searching online and rummaging through properties and methods but can't seem to find anything.

I search for an hour and find nothing. So I post here, and two minutes later I find the private Defer Diagram Updates property.

Well that property was never made to work. It always returns an error. But apparently there is an application delay drawing method:
