+\subsection{Application shutdown}\label{wxappshutdownoverview}
+
+The application normally shuts down when the last of its top level windows is
+closed. This is normally the expected behaviour and means that it is enough to
+call \helpref{Close()}{wxwindowclose} in response to the {\tt "Exit"} menu
+command if your program has a single top level window. If this behaviour is not
+desirable \helpref{wxApp::SetExitOnFrameDelete}{wxappsetexitonframedelete} can
+be called to change it. Note that starting from wxWindows 2.3.3 such logic
+doesn't apply for the windows shown before the program enters the main loop: in
+other words, you can safely show a dialog from 
+\helpref{wxApp::OnInit}{wxapponinit} and not be afraid that your application
+terminates when this dialog -- which is the last top level window for the
+moment -- is closed.

+Another aspect of the application shutdown is the \helpref{OnExit}{wxapponexit}

+its internal structures. Your should delete all wxWindows object that your
+created by the time OnExit finishes. In particular, do {\bf not} destroy them
 from application class' destructor!
