-Override this member function for any processing which needs to be done

-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

-(MS Windows and Motif).
+If \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto} returns TRUE, the application
+is allowed to veto the shutdown by calling \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto}.

+Use the EVT\_QUERY\_END\_SESSION event table macro to handle query end session events.

+
+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.
+
+Note that Yield() will not flush the message logs. This is intentional as
+calling Yield() 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}.
+
+Calling Yield() recursively is normally an error and an assert failure is
+raised in debug build if such situation is detected. However if the the
+{\it onlyIfNeeded} parameter is {\tt TRUE}, the method will just silently
+return {\tt FALSE} instead.
