14 The {\bf wxAppTraits} class defines various configurable aspects of a \helpref{wxApp}{wxapp}.
15 You can access it using \helpref{wxApp::GetTraits}{wxappgettraits} function and you can
16 create your own \helpref{wxAppTraits}{wxapptraits} overriding the
17 \helpref{wxApp::CreateTraits}{wxappcreatetraits} function.
18
19 By 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
22 applications.

39 \membersection{wxAppTraits::GetPlatformInfo}\label{wxapptraitsgetplatforminfo}
40
41 \func{virtual wxPlatformInfo \&}{GetPlatformInfo}{\void}
42
43 Returns information about which platform is the program running on.
44 See \helpref{wxPlatformInfo}{wxplatforminfo} for more details.
45
46
47 \membersection{wxAppTraits::GetToolkitVersion}\label{wxapptraitsgettoolkitversion}
48
49 \func{virtual wxPortId}{GetToolkitVersion}{\param{int *}{major = NULL}, \param{int *}{minor = NULL}}
50
51 Returns the wxWidgets port ID used by the running program and eventually
52 fills the given pointers with the values of the major and minor digits
53 of the native toolkit currently used.
54
55 E.g. if your program is using wxGTK port this function will return wxPORT_GTK and
56 put in given pointers the versions of the GTK library in use.
57
58 See \helpref{wxPlatformInfo}{wxplatforminfo} for more details.

62 \membersection{wxAppTraits::HasStderr}\label{wxapptraitshasstderr}
63
64 \func{virtual bool}{HasStderr}{\void}
65
66 Returns \true if {\tt fprintf(stderr)} goes somewhere, \false otherwise.

70 \membersection{wxAppTraits::ShowAssertDialog}\label{wxapptraitsshowassertdialog}
71
72 \func{virtual bool}{ShowAssertDialog}{\param{const wxString \&}{ msg}}
73
74 Shows the assert dialog with the specified message in GUI mode or just prints
75 the string to stderr in console mode.
76
77 Returns \true to suppress subsequent asserts, \false to continue as before.
78

81 \membersection{wxAppTraits::GetStandardPaths}\label{wxapptraitsgetstandardpaths}
82
83 \func{virtual wxStandardPaths \&}{GetStandardPaths}{\void}
84
85 Returns the wxStandardPaths object for the application.
86 It's normally the same for wxBase and wxGUI except in the case of wxMac and wxCocoa.
87

89
90 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateRenderer}\label{wxapptraitscreaterenderer}
91
92 \func{virtual wxRendererNative *}{CreateRenderer}{\void}
93
94 Returns the renderer to use for drawing the generic controls (return value may be \NULL
95 in which case the default renderer for the current platform is used);
96 this is used in GUI mode only and always returns \NULL in console.
97
98 NOTE: returned pointer will be deleted by the caller.

102 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateLogTarget}\label{wxapptraitscreatelogtarget}
103
104 \func{virtual wxLog *}{CreateLogTarget}{\void}
105
106 Creates the default log target for the application.

110 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateMessageOutput}\label{wxapptraitscreatemessageoutput}
111
112 \func{virtual wxMessageOutput *}{CreateMessageOutput}{\void}
113
114 Creates the global object used for printing out messages.

118 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateFontMapper}\label{wxapptraitscreatefontmapper}
119
120 \func{virtual wxFontMapper *}{CreateFontMapper}{\void}
121
122 Creates the global font mapper object used for encodings/charset mapping.
