-Returns TRUE if unprocessed events are in the window system event queue
-(MS Windows and Motif).
+This is an event handler function called when the operating system or GUI session is
+about to close down. Typically, an application will try to save unsaved documents
+at this point.
+
+If \helpref{wxCloseEvent::CanVeto}{wxcloseeventcanveto} returns TRUE, the application
+is allowed to veto the shutdown by calling \helpref{wxCloseEvent::Veto}{wxcloseeventveto}.
+The application might veto the shutdown after prompting for documents to be saved, and the
+user has cancelled the save.
+
+Use the EVT\_QUERY\_END\_SESSION event table macro to handle query end session events.
+
+You should check whether the application is forcing the deletion of the window
+using \helpref{wxCloseEvent::GetForce}{wxcloseeventgetforce}. If this is TRUE,
+destroy the window using \helpref{wxWindow::Destroy}{wxwindowdestroy}.
+If not, it is up to you whether you respond by destroying the window.
+
+The default handler calls \helpref{wxWindow::Close}{wxwindowclose} on the top-level window,
+and vetoes the shutdown if Close returns FALSE. This will be sufficient for many applications.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+Under X, OnQueryEndSession is called in response to the 'save session' event.

+Under Windows, OnQueryEndSession is called in response to the WM\_QUERYENDSESSION message.
