12\section{\class{wxAppTraits}}\label{wxapptraits}
13
14The {\bf wxAppTraits} class defines various configurable aspects of a \helpref{wxApp}{wxapp}.
15You can access it using \helpref{wxApp::GetTraits}{wxappgettraits} function and you can
16create your own \helpref{wxAppTraits}{wxapptraits} overriding the
17\helpref{wxApp::CreateTraits}{wxappcreatetraits} function.
18
19By default, wxWidgets creates a {\tt wxConsoleAppTraits} object for console applications
20(i.e. those applications linked against wxBase library only - see the
21\helpref{Libraries list}{librarieslist} page) and a {\tt wxGUIAppTraits} object for GUI
22applications.

43\membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateConfig}\label{wxapptraitscreateconfig}
44
45\func{virtual wxConfigBase *}{CreateConfig}{\void}
46
47Called by wxWidgets to create the default configuration object for the
48application. The default version creates a registry-based
49\helpref{wxRegConfig}{wxconfigbase} class under MSW and
50\helpref{wxFileConfig}{wxfileconfig} under all other platforms. The
51\helpref{wxApp}{wxapp} \helpref{GetAppName()}{wxappgetappname} and
52\helpref{GetVendorName()}{wxappgetvendorname} methods are used to determine the
53registry key or file name.

56\membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateFontMapper}\label{wxapptraitscreatefontmapper}
57
58\func{virtual wxFontMapper *}{CreateFontMapper}{\void}
59
60Creates the global font mapper object used for encodings/charset mapping.
61

63
64\membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateLogTarget}\label{wxapptraitscreatelogtarget}
65
66\func{virtual wxLog *}{CreateLogTarget}{\void}
67
68Creates the default log target for the application.
69
70
71\membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateMessageOutput}\label{wxapptraitscreatemessageoutput}
72
73\func{virtual wxMessageOutput *}{CreateMessageOutput}{\void}
74
75Creates the global object used for printing out messages.
76
77
78\membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateRenderer}\label{wxapptraitscreaterenderer}
79
80\func{virtual wxRendererNative *}{CreateRenderer}{\void}
81
82Returns the renderer to use for drawing the generic controls (return value may be \NULL
83in which case the default renderer for the current platform is used);
84this is used in GUI mode only and always returns \NULL in console.
85
86NOTE: returned pointer will be deleted by the caller.
87
88\membersection{wxAppTraits::GetDesktopEnvironment}\label{wxapptraitsgetdesktopenvironment}
89
90\constfunc{virtual wxString}{GetDesktopEnvironment}{\void}
91
92This method returns the name of the desktop environment currently
93running in a Unix desktop. Currently only "KDE" or "GNOME" are
94supported and the code uses the X11 session protocol vendor name
95to figure out, which desktop environment is running. The method
96returns an empty string otherwise and on all other platforms.
97
98\membersection{wxAppTraits::GetStandardPaths}\label{wxapptraitsgetstandardpaths}
99
100\func{virtual wxStandardPaths \&}{GetStandardPaths}{\void}
101
102Returns the wxStandardPaths object for the application.
103It's normally the same for wxBase and wxGUI except in the case of wxMac and wxCocoa.
104
105\membersection{wxAppTraits::GetToolkitVersion}\label{wxapptraitsgettoolkitversion}
106
107\func{virtual wxPortId}{GetToolkitVersion}{\param{int *}{major = NULL}, \param{int *}{minor = NULL}}
108
109Returns the wxWidgets port ID used by the running program and eventually
110fills the given pointers with the values of the major and minor digits
111of the native toolkit currently used.
112The version numbers returned are thus detected at run-time and not compile-time
113(except when this is not possible e.g. wxMotif).
114
115E.g. if your program is using wxGTK port this function will return wxPORT\_GTK and
116put in given pointers the versions of the GTK library in use.
117
118See \helpref{wxPlatformInfo}{wxplatforminfo} for more details.
119
120
121\membersection{wxAppTraits::HasStderr}\label{wxapptraitshasstderr}
122
123\func{virtual bool}{HasStderr}{\void}
124
125Returns \true if {\tt fprintf(stderr)} goes somewhere, \false otherwise.
126
127
128\membersection{wxAppTraits::IsUsingUniversalWidgets}\label{wxapptraitsisusinguniversalwidgets}
129
130\constfunc{bool}{IsUsingUniversalWidgets}{\void}
131
132Returns \true if the library was built as wxUniversal. Always returns
133\false for wxBase-only apps.
134
135
136\membersection{wxAppTraits::ShowAssertDialog}\label{wxapptraitsshowassertdialog}
137
138\func{virtual bool}{ShowAssertDialog}{\param{const wxString \&}{ msg}}
139
140Shows the assert dialog with the specified message in GUI mode or just prints
141the string to stderr in console mode.
142
143Returns \true to suppress subsequent asserts, \false to continue as before.
