14This tiny class prevents redrawing of a \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow} during its
15lifetime by using \helpref{wxWindow::Freeze}{wxwindowfreeze} and
16\helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} methods. It is typically used for creating
17automatic objects to temporarily suppress window updates before a batch of
18operations is performed:
19{\small
20\begin{verbatim}
21 void MyFrame::Foo()
22 {
23 m_text = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);
24
25 wxWindowUpdateLocker noUpdates(m_text);
26 m_text->AppendText();
27 ... many other operations with m_text...
28 m_text->WriteText();
29 }
30\end{verbatim}
31}
32
33Using this class is easier and safer than calling
34\helpref{Freeze}{wxwindowfreeze} and \helpref{Thaw}{wxwindowthaw} because you
35don't risk to forget calling the latter.
