## Detailed Description

This tiny class prevents redrawing of a wxWindow during its lifetime by using wxWindow::Freeze() and wxWindow::Thaw() methods.

It is typically used for creating automatic objects to temporarily suppress window updates before a batch of operations is performed:

void MyFrame::Foo()
{
m_text = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);
wxWindowUpdateLocker noUpdates(m_text);
m_text-AppendText();
... many other operations with m_text...
m_text-WriteText();
}
wxTextCtrl
A text control allows text to be displayed and edited.

wxWindowUpdateLocker

Definition: wupdlock.h:36

Using this class is easier and safer than calling wxWindow::Freeze() and wxWindow::Thaw() because you don't risk to forget calling the latter.
