==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title|  **wx.grid.GridUpdateLocker**
==========================================================================================================================================

This small class can be used to prevent :ref:`wx.grid.Grid`  from redrawing during its lifetime by calling :meth:`wx.grid.Grid.BeginBatch`   in its constructor and :meth:`wx.grid.Grid.EndBatch`   in its destructor.          

It is typically used in a function performing several operations with a grid which would otherwise result in flicker. For example: 

::

    def GridLocker(self):

        self.grid = wx.grid.Grid(self, -1)

        noUpdates = wx.grid.GridUpdateLocker(self.grid)
        self.grid.AppendColumn()
        # ... many other operations with self.grid ...
        self.grid.AppendRow()

        # destructor called, grid refreshed



Using this class is easier and safer than calling :meth:`wx.grid.Grid.BeginBatch`   and :meth:`wx.grid.Grid.EndBatch`   because you don't risk missing the call the latter (due to an exception for example).

.. class:: wx.grid.GridUpdateLocker(object)

   **Possible constructors**::

       GridUpdateLocker(grid=None)
       
   
   This small class can be used to prevent Grid from redrawing during
   its lifetime by calling `Grid.BeginBatch()` in its constructor and
   `Grid.EndBatch()` in its destructor.



   .. method:: __init__(self, grid=None)

      Creates an object preventing the updates of the specified `grid`.                  

      The parameter could be ``None`` in which case nothing is done. If `grid`  is non-NULL then the grid must exist for longer than this :ref:`wx.grid.GridUpdateLocker`  object itself. 

      The default constructor could be followed by a call to :meth:`Create`   to set the grid object later.                  


      :param `grid`: 
      :type `grid`: wx.grid.Grid







   .. method:: Create(self, grid)

      This method can be called if the object had been constructed using the default constructor.                  

      It must not be called more than once.                  


      :param `grid`: 
      :type `grid`: wx.grid.Grid







   .. method:: __enter__(self)




   .. method:: __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb)
