2
3This class is used for pseudo-events which are called by wxWindows
4to give an application the chance to update various user interface elements.

17To process an update event, use these event handler macros to direct input to member
18functions that take a wxUpdateUIEvent argument.

26\wxheading{Remarks}
27
28Without update UI events, an application has to work hard to check/uncheck, enable/disable,
29and set the text for elements such as menu items and toolbar buttons.
30The code for doing this has to be mixed up with the code that is invoked when
31an action is invoked for a menu item or button.
32
33With update UI events, you define an event handler to look at the state of
34the application and change UI elements accordingly. wxWindows will call your
35member functions in idle time, so you don't have to worry where to call this code.
36In addition to being a clearer and more declarative method, it also means you
37don't have to worry whether you're updating a toolbar or menubar identifier.
38The same handler can update a menu item and toolbar button, if the identifier is the same.
39
40Instead of directly manipulating the menu or button, you call functions in the event
41object, such as \helpref{wxUpdateUIEvent::Check}{wxupdateuieventcheck}. wxWindows
42will determine whether such a call has been made, and which UI element to update.
43
44These events will work for popup menus as well as menubars. Just before a menu is popped
45up, \helpref{wxMenu::UpdateUI}{wxmenuupdateui} is called to process any UI events for
46the window that owns the menu.
