+
+This function is called if an unhandled exception occurs inside the main

+the different options. You may override this function in your class to do

+
+\func{virtual int}{OnRun}{\void}
+
+This virtual function is where the execution of a program written in wxWidgets
+starts. The default implementation just enters the main loop and starts
+handling the events until it terminates, either because
+\helpref{ExitMainLoop}{wxappexitmainloop} has been explicitly called or because
+the last frame has been deleted and
+\helpref{GetExitOnFrameDelete}{wxappgetexitonframedelete} flag is \true (this
+is the default).

+The return value of this function becomes the exit code of the program, so it
+should return $0$ in case of successful termination.
+
+
+\membersection{wxApp::OnUnhandledException}\label{wxapponunhandledexception}

+startup and shutdown might not be caught at all).
+Note that the exception type is lost by now, so if you want to really handle
