8064223b | 11 | @class wxAppConsole |
7c913512 | 12 | |
8064223b | 13 | This class is essential for writing console-only or hybrid apps without |
f045c7f5 FM |
14 | having to define @c wxUSE_GUI=0. |
15 | ||
16 | It is used to: | |
17 | @li set and get application-wide properties (see wxAppConsole::CreateTraits | |
18 | and wxAppConsole::SetXXX functions) | |
19 | @li implement the windowing system message or event loop: events in fact are | |
20 | supported even in console-mode applications (see wxAppConsole::HandleEvent | |
21 | and wxAppConsole::ProcessPendingEvents); | |
22 | @li initiate application processing via wxApp::OnInit; | |
23 | @li allow default processing of events not handled by other | |
24 | objects in the application (see wxAppConsole::FilterEvent) | |
25 | @li implement Apple-specific event handlers (see wxAppConsole::MacXXX functions) | |
26 | ||
27 | You should use the macro IMPLEMENT_APP(appClass) in your application | |
28 | implementation file to tell wxWidgets how to create an instance of your | |
29 | application class. | |
7c913512 | 30 | |
f045c7f5 FM |
31 | Use DECLARE_APP(appClass) in a header file if you want the ::wxGetApp() function |
32 | (which returns a reference to your application object) to be visible to other | |
33 | files. | |
