+\constfunc{wxString}{GetAppDisplayName}{\void}
+
+Returns the user-readable application name. The difference between this string
+and the one returned by \helpref{GetAppName}{wxappgetappname} is that this one
+is meant to be shown to the user and so should be used for the window titles,
+page headers and so on while the other one should be only used internally, e.g.
+for the file names or configuration file keys.
+
+By default, returns the same string as \headers{GetAppName}{wxappgetappname}.

This function is called when an assert failure occurs, i.e. the condition
specified in \helpref{wxASSERT}{wxassert} macro evaluated to {\tt false}.
It is only called in debug mode (when {\tt \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_} is defined) as
asserts are not left in the release code at all.

This function is called when an unhandled C++ exception occurs inside
\helpref{OnRun()}{wxapponrun} (the exceptions which occur during the program
-startup and shutdown might not be caught at all).

-the exception you should override \helpref{OnRun()}{wxapponrun} and put a
-try/catch clause around the call to the base class version there.
+startup and shutdown might not be caught at all). Notice that by now the main
+event loop has been terminated and the program will exit, if you want to
+prevent this from happening (i.e. continue running after catching an exception)
+you need to override \helpref{OnExceptionInMainLoop}{wxapponexceptioninmainloop}.
+
+The default implementation shows information about the exception in debug build
+but does nothing in the release build.

+the differences between the display name and name.

+
\membersection{wxApp::SetAppName}\label{wxappsetappname}
\func{void}{SetAppName}{\param{const wxString\& }{name}}
-Sets the name of the application. The name may be used in dialogs
-(for example by the document/view framework). A default name is set by
-wxWidgets.
+Sets the name of the application. This name should be used for file names,
+configuration file entries and other internal strings. For the user-visible
+strings, such as the window titles, the application display name set by

+By default the application name is set to the name of its executable file.

-\func{void}{SetUseBestVisual}{\param{bool}{ flag}}
+\func{void}{SetUseBestVisual}{\param{bool}{ flag}, \param{bool}{ forceTrueColour = false}}
Allows the programmer to specify whether the application will use the best visual
on systems that support several visual on the same display. This is typically the
case under Solaris and IRIX, where the default visual is only 8-bit whereas certain
applications are supposed to run in TrueColour mode.
+If \arg{forceTrueColour} is true then the application will try to force
+using a TrueColour visual and abort the app if none is found.
+
Note that this function has to be called in the constructor of the {\tt wxApp}
instance and won't have any effect when called later on.
