52 If we're being called from idle time (which occurs while checking the
53 queue for new events) there may or may not be any events in the queue.
54 In order to successfully stop the event loop, at least one event must
55 be processed. To ensure this always happens, WakeUpIdle is called.
57 If the application was active when closed then this is unnecessary
58 because it would receive a deactivate event anyway. However, if the
59 application was not active when closed, then no events would be
60 added to the queue by Cocoa and thus the application would wait
61 indefinitely for the next event.

133 NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode since we don't necessarily want all
134 timers/sources/observers to run, only those which would
135 run while tracking events. However, it should be noted that
136 NSEventTrackingRunLoopMode is in the common set of modes
137 so it may not effectively make much of a difference.

146 [GetNSApplication() sendEvent: event];
150 Because we just told NSApplication to avoid blocking it will in turn
151 run the CFRunLoop with a timeout of 0 seconds. In that case, our
152 run loop observer on kCFRunLoopBeforeWaiting never fires because
153 no waiting occurs. Therefore, no idle events are sent.
155 Believe it or not, this is actually desirable because we do not want
156 to process idle from here. However, we do want to process pending
157 events because some user code expects to do work in a thread while
158 the main thread waits and then notify the main thread by posting
162 wxTheApp->ProcessPendingEvents();
