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. | |

143 | This can be useful, for example, when a time-consuming process writes to a |
144 | text window. Without an occasional yield, the text window will not be updated | |
145 | properly, and on systems with cooperative multitasking, such as Windows 3.1 | |
146 | other processes will not respond. | |

4b221422 FM |
148 | Caution should be exercised, however, since yielding may allow the |
149 | user to perform actions which are not compatible with the current task. | |
150 | Disabling menu items or whole menus during processing can avoid unwanted | |
151 | reentrance of code: see ::wxSafeYield for a better function. | |
152 | You can avoid unwanted reentrancies also using IsYielding(). | |

154 | Note that Yield() will not flush the message logs. This is intentional as | |
155 | calling Yield() is usually done to quickly update the screen and popping up | |
156 | a message box dialog may be undesirable. If you do wish to flush the log | |
157 | messages immediately (otherwise it will be done during the next idle loop | |
158 | iteration), call wxLog::FlushActive. | |
159 | ||
160 | Calling Yield() recursively is normally an error and an assert failure is | |
161 | raised in debug build if such situation is detected. However if the | |
