This can be useful if the window needs to be frozen only if some
run-time condition holds true.

/**
@class wxWindowUpdateLocker
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:
@code
void MyFrame::Foo()
{
m_text = new wxTextCtrl(this, ...);
wxWindowUpdateLocker noUpdates(m_text);
m_text-AppendText();
... many other operations with m_text...
m_text-WriteText();
}
@endcode
Using this class is easier and safer than calling wxWindow::Freeze() and
wxWindow::Thaw() because you don't risk to forget calling the latter.
