11 @class wxAppConsole
12
13 This class is essential for writing console-only or hybrid apps without
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 wxIMPLEMENT_APP(appClass) in your application
28 implementation file to tell wxWidgets how to create an instance of your
29 application class.
30
31 Use wxDECLARE_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.
