     Base class for all event loop implementations.
 
+    An event loop is a class which queries the queue of native events sent
+    to the wxWidgets application and dispatches them to the appropriate
+    wxEvtHandlers.
+
     An object of this class is created by wxAppTraits::CreateEventLoop() and
     used by wxApp to run the main application event loop.
+    Temporary event loops are usually created by wxDialog::ShowModal().
+
+    You can create your own event loop if you need, provided that you restore
+    the main event loop once yours is destroyed (see wxEventLoopActivator).
