wx.AppTraits¶

The wx.AppTraits class defines various configurable aspects of a wx.App.

You can access it using wx.App.GetTraits function and you can create your own wx.AppTraits overriding the wx.App.CreateTraits function.

Note that wx.AppTraits is an abstract class since it contains many pure virtual functions. In fact, by default, wxWidgets creates a ConsoleAppTraits object for console applications (i.e. those applications linked against Base library only - see the page) and a GUIAppTraits object for GUI applications. Both these classes are derived by wx.AppTraits and represent concrete implementation of the wx.AppTraits interface.

Methods Summary¶

`CreateConfig`	Called by wxWidgets to create the default configuration object for the application.
`CreateEventLoop`	Used by wxWidgets to create the main event loop used by `wx.App.OnRun` .
`CreateLogTarget`	Creates a wx.Log class for the application to use for logging errors.
`GetAssertStackTrace`	Helper function mostly useful for derived classes `ShowAssertDialog` implementation.
`GetDesktopEnvironment`	Returns the name of the desktop environment currently running on a Unix desktop.
`GetStandardPaths`	Returns the wx.StandardPaths object for the application.
`GetToolkitVersion`	Returns the wxWidgets port `ID` used by the running program and eventually fills the given pointers with the values of the major, minor, and micro digits of the native toolkit currently used.
`HasStderr`	Returns `True` if `fprintf(stderr)` goes somewhere, `False` otherwise.
`IsUsingUniversalWidgets`	Returns `True` if the library was built as wxUniversal.
`SafeMessageBox`	Shows a message box with the given text and title if possible.
`ShowAssertDialog`	Shows the assert dialog with the specified message in GUI mode or just prints the string to stderr in console mode.

Class API¶

class wx.AppTraits(object)¶

The AppTraits class defines various configurable aspects of a App.

Methods¶

CreateConfig(self)¶

Called by wxWidgets to create the default configuration object for the application.

The default version creates a registry-based RegConfig class under MSW and wx.FileConfig under all other platforms.

The wx.App.GetAppName and wx.App.GetVendorName methods are used to determine the registry key or file name.

Return type:: wx.ConfigBase

CreateEventLoop(self)¶

Used by wxWidgets to create the main event loop used by wx.App.OnRun .

The default implementation of this method in GUIAppTraits returns the usual platform-specific GUI event loop. The version in ConsoleAppTraits returns a console-specific event loop which can be used to handle timer and socket events in console programs under Unix and MSW or None under the other platforms where console event loops are not supported yet.
