Note that the names in wxWindows (such as
OnInit and Show) do not follow the same style
guidelines as the text.
Two preprocessor macros carry out some magic
that the framework needs to make an application out of the
BasicApp class.
DECLARE_APP(BasicAPP)
IMPLEMENT_APP(BasicAPP)
If you distribute the code into separate
files
place DECLARE_APP in the .h
file
place IMPLEMENT_APP in the
.cpp file
The wxWindows toolkit supplies an
applicationframework - several base classes from
which programmers derive classes to specify the behavior of their
application.
The application framework does complex work to
interface with the operating system, but the programmer is
insulated from these technical details.
The instructions for compiling a wxWindows
program differs quite a bit depending on compiler and
platform.
