PROCEDURE EndUpdate (theWindow: WindowPtr);

A pointer to the window's window record.

DESCRIPTION

The EndUpdate procedure restores the normal visible region of a window's graphics port. When you receive an update event for a window, you call BeginUpdate, redraw the update region, and then call EndUpdate. Each call to BeginUpdate must be balanced by a subsequent call to EndUpdate.
