  12 \section{\class{wxAppTraits}}\label{wxapptraits}
  13
  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::CreateFontMapper}\label{wxapptraitscreatefontmapper}
  40
  41 \func{virtual wxFontMapper *}{CreateFontMapper}{\void}
  42
  43 Creates the global font mapper object used for encodings/charset mapping.
  44
  45
  46
  47 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateLogTarget}\label{wxapptraitscreatelogtarget}
  48
  49 \func{virtual wxLog *}{CreateLogTarget}{\void}
  50
  51 Creates the default log target for the application.
  52
  53
  54 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateMessageOutput}\label{wxapptraitscreatemessageoutput}
  55
  56 \func{virtual wxMessageOutput *}{CreateMessageOutput}{\void}
  57
  58 Creates the global object used for printing out messages.
  59
  60
  61 \membersection{wxAppTraits::CreateRenderer}\label{wxapptraitscreaterenderer}
  62
  63 \func{virtual wxRendererNative *}{CreateRenderer}{\void}
  64
  65 Returns the renderer to use for drawing the generic controls (return value may be \NULL
  66 in which case the default renderer for the current platform is used);
  67 this is used in GUI mode only and always returns \NULL in console.
  68
  69 NOTE: returned pointer will be deleted by the caller.
  70
  71
  72 \membersection{wxAppTraits::GetStandardPaths}\label{wxapptraitsgetstandardpaths}
  73
  74 \func{virtual wxStandardPaths \&}{GetStandardPaths}{\void}
  75
  76 Returns the wxStandardPaths object for the application.
  77 It's normally the same for wxBase and wxGUI except in the case of wxMac and wxCocoa.
  78
  79 \membersection{wxAppTraits::GetToolkitVersion}\label{wxapptraitsgettoolkitversion}
  80
  81 \func{virtual wxPortId}{GetToolkitVersion}{\param{int *}{major = NULL}, \param{int *}{minor = NULL}}
  82
  83 Returns the wxWidgets port ID used by the running program and eventually
  84 fills the given pointers with the values of the major and minor digits
  85 of the native toolkit currently used.
  86 The version numbers returned are thus detected at run-time and not compile-time
  87 (except when this is not possible e.g. wxMotif).
  88
  89 E.g. if your program is using wxGTK port this function will return wxPORT\_GTK and
  90 put in given pointers the versions of the GTK library in use.
  91
  92 See \helpref{wxPlatformInfo}{wxplatforminfo} for more details.
  93
  94
  95 \membersection{wxAppTraits::HasStderr}\label{wxapptraitshasstderr}
  96
  97 \func{virtual bool}{HasStderr}{\void}
  98
  99 Returns \true if {\tt fprintf(stderr)} goes somewhere, \false otherwise.
 100
 101
 102 \membersection{wxAppTraits::IsUsingUniversalWidgets}\label{wxapptraitsisusinguniversalwidgets}
 103
 104 \constfunc{bool}{IsUsingUniversalWidgets}{\void}
 105
 106 Returns \true if the library was built as wxUniversal. Always returns
 107 \false for wxBase-only apps.
 108
 109
 110 \membersection{wxAppTraits::ShowAssertDialog}\label{wxapptraitsshowassertdialog}
 111
 112 \func{virtual bool}{ShowAssertDialog}{\param{const wxString \&}{ msg}}
 113
 114 Shows the assert dialog with the specified message in GUI mode or just prints
 115 the string to stderr in console mode.
 116
 117 Returns \true to suppress subsequent asserts, \false to continue as before.
