10 @class wxAppTraits
11
12 The wxAppTraits class defines various configurable aspects of a wxApp.
13 You can access it using wxApp::GetTraits() function and you can create your
14 own wxAppTraits overriding the wxApp::CreateTraits() function.
15
16 Note that wxAppTraits is an abstract class since it contains many
17 pure virtual functions.
18 In fact, by default, wxWidgets creates a @c wxConsoleAppTraits object for
19 console applications (i.e. those applications linked against wxBase library
20 only - see the @ref page_libs page) and a @c wxGUIAppTraits object for GUI
21 applications.
22 Both these classes are derived by wxAppTraits and represent concrete
23 implementation of the wxAppTraits interface.
