8064223b 10 @class wxAppConsole
7c913512 11
8064223b 12 This class is essential for writing console-only or hybrid apps without
f045c7f5
FM
13 having to define @c wxUSE_GUI=0.
14
15 It is used to:
16 @li set and get application-wide properties (see wxAppConsole::CreateTraits
17 and wxAppConsole::SetXXX functions)
18 @li implement the windowing system message or event loop: events in fact are
19 supported even in console-mode applications (see wxAppConsole::HandleEvent
20 and wxAppConsole::ProcessPendingEvents);
21 @li initiate application processing via wxApp::OnInit;
22 @li allow default processing of events not handled by other
23 objects in the application (see wxAppConsole::FilterEvent)
24 @li implement Apple-specific event handlers (see wxAppConsole::MacXXX functions)
25
e4431849 26 You should use the macro wxIMPLEMENT_APP(appClass) in your application
f045c7f5
FM
27 implementation file to tell wxWidgets how to create an instance of your
28 application class.
7c913512 29
e4431849 30 Use wxDECLARE_APP(appClass) in a header file if you want the ::wxGetApp() function
f045c7f5
FM
31 (which returns a reference to your application object) to be visible to other
32 files.

1106
1107 Currently this macro disables assert checking and debug and trace level
1108 logging messages in release build (i.e. when @c NDEBUG is defined). It is
e4431849 1109 used by wxIMPLEMENT_APP() macro so you only need to use it explicitly if you

VZ
1110 don't use this macro but initialize wxWidgets directly (e.g. calls
1111 wxEntry() or wxEntryStart() itself).
1112
1113 If you do not want to disable debugging code even in release build of your
1114 application, you can use wxSetDefaultAssertHandler() and
1115 wxLog::SetLogLevel() with @c wxLOG_Max parameter to enable assertions and
1116 debug logging respectively.
