\func{bool}{wxYield}{\void}
-Yields control to pending messages in the windowing system. This can be useful, for example, when a
-time-consuming process writes to a text window. Without an occasional
-yield, the text window will not be updated properly, and on systems with
-cooperative multitasking, such as Windows 3.1 other processes will not respond.
-
-Caution should be exercised, however, since yielding may allow the
-user to perform actions which are not compatible with the current task.
-Disabling menu items or whole menus during processing can avoid unwanted
-reentrance of code: see \helpref{::wxSafeYield}{wxsafeyield} for a better
-function.
+Calls \helpref{wxApp::Yield}{wxappyield}.
-Note that wxYield will not flush the message logs. This is intentional as
-calling wxYield is usually done to quickly update the screen and popping up a
-message box dialog may be undesirable. If you do wish to flush the log
-messages immediately (otherwise it will be done during the next idle loop
-iteration), call \helpref{wxLog::FlushActive}{wxlogflushactive}.
+This function is kept only for backwards compatibility, please use the
+wxApp method instead in any new code.
