\section{\class{wxUpdateUIEvent}}\label{wxupdateuievent}

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

\wxheading{Event table macros}

To process an update event, use these event handler macros to direct input to member
functions that take a wxUpdateUIEvent argument.

\wxheading{Remarks}

Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck, enable/disable,
and set the text for elements such as menu items and toolbar buttons.
The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code that is invoked when
an action is invoked for a menu item or button.

With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of
the application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWindows will call your
member functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you
don't have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier.
The same handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.

Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
object, such as \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::Check}{wxupdateuieventcheck}. wxWindows
will determine whether such a call has been made, and which UI element to update.

These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is popped
up, \helpref{wxMenu::UpdateUI}{wxmenuupdateui} is called to process any UI events for
the window that owns the menu.
