\section{\class{wxWindowUpdateLocker}}\label{wxwindowupdatelocker}
This tiny class prevents redrawing of a \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow} during its
lifetime by using \helpref{wxWindow::Freeze}{wxwindowfreeze} and
\helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} methods. It is typically used for creating
automatic objects to temporarily suppress window updates before a batch of
operations is performed:
{\small
\begin{verbatim}
void MyFrame::Foo()
{
m_text = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);
wxWindowUpdateLocker noUpdates(m_text);
m_text->AppendText();
... many other operations with m_text...
m_text->WriteText();
}
\end{verbatim}
}
Using this class is easier and safer than calling
\helpref{Freeze}{wxwindowfreeze} and \helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} because you
don't risk to forget calling the latter.

\membersection{wxWindowUpdateLocker::wxWindowUpdateLocker}\label{wxwindowupdatelockerctor}
\func{}{wxWindowUpdateLocker}{\param{wxWindow *}{win}}
Creates an object preventing the updates of the specified \arg{win}. The
parameter must be non-\NULL and the window must exist for longer than
wxWindowUpdateLocker object itself.
\membersection{wxWindowUpdateLocker::\destruct{wxWindowUpdateLocker}}\label{wxwindowupdatelockerdtor}
\func{}{\destruct{wxWindowUpdateLocker}}{\void}
Destructor reenables updates for the window this object is associated with.
