-\func{void}{OnIdle}{\param{wxIdleEvent\& }{event}}
+\wxheading{See also}
-Override this member function for any processing which needs to be done
-when the application is idle. You should call wxApp::OnIdle from your own function,
-since this forwards OnIdle events to windows and also performs garbage collection for
-windows whose destruction has been delayed.
+\helpref{OnInitCmdLine}{wxapponinitcmdline}
-wxWindows' strategy for OnIdle processing is as follows. After pending user interface events for an
-application have all been processed, wxWindows sends an OnIdle event to the application object. wxApp::OnIdle itself
-sends an OnIdle event to each application window, allowing windows to do idle processing such as updating
-their appearance. If either wxApp::OnIdle or a window OnIdle function requested more time, by
-caling \helpref{wxIdleEvent::ReqestMore}{wxidleeventrequestmore}, wxWindows will send another OnIdle
-event to the application object. This will occur in a loop until either a user event is found to be
-pending, or OnIdle requests no more time. Then all pending user events are processed until the system
-goes idle again, when OnIdle is called, and so on.

-\func{void}{OnEndSession}{\param{wxCloseEvent\& }{event}}
+Return {\tt TRUE} to continue normal execution or {\tt FALSE} to return
+{\tt FALSE} from \helpref{OnInit}{wxapponinit} thus terminating the program.
-This is an event handler function called when the operating system or GUI session is
-about to close down. The application has a chance to silently save information,

+\helpref{OnInitCmdLine}{wxapponinitcmdline}
-The default handler calls \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} with a TRUE argument

+\membersection{wxApp::OnFatalException}\label{wxapponfatalexception}
-\wxheading{Remarks}
+\func{void}{OnFatalException}{\void}
-Under X, OnEndSession is called in response to the 'die' event.
+This function may be called if something fatal happens: an unhandled
+exception under Win32 or a a fatal signal under Unix, for example. However,
+this will not happen by default: you have to explicitly call
+\helpref{wxHandleFatalExceptions}{wxhandlefatalexceptions} to enable this.
-Under Windows, OnEndSession is called in response to the WM\_ENDSESSION message.
+Generally speaking, this function should only show a message to the user and
+return. You may attempt to save unsaved data but this is not guaranteed to
+work and, in fact, probably won't.
