Good catch Pete

These were contributed by me before the docs were in the repo and I assumed 
(obviously wrongly) that someone who had access was doing them.

lockUpdates is a group property which disables resetting the group (rect, 
scrollbars etc) when you do something to a child control like move it. You want 
to use this to optimise performance if your changing lots of properties on 
children and only need the group to refresh at the end.  It's a session only 
property (not saved).

controlIDs and controlNames are like childControlIDs and childControlNames 
however they parse all the children recursively rather than just direct 
descendants.

I guess I'd better add documenting these to my todo list unless someone else 
feels like having a go?

Cheers
