When checked the column when in EIP mode will be updated emmediately. Note when used it is recomended that the number of columns is minimized to reduce flicker when it is updated.

An application-modal window restricts the user from moving to another execution thread in the same application, but does not restrict them from changing to another Windows program.
System Modal: The Microsoft Win32 API does not support system modal windows. This selection is only avalible for backwords compatibility and is set as Application Modal.
