  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.
