3This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWindows
4to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.

13To process a menu event, use these event handler macros to direct input to member
14functions that take a wxUpdateUIEvent argument.

21\wxheading{Remarks}
22
23Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck, enable/disable,
24and set the text for elements such as menu items and toolbar buttons.
25The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code that is invoked when
26an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
27
28With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of
29the application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWindows will call your
30member functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
31In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you
32don't have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier.
33The same handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
34
35Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
36object, such as \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::Check}{wxupdateuieventcheck}. wxWindows
37will determine whether such a call has been made, and which UI element to update.
