You can access it using :meth:`wx.App.GetTraits` function and you can create your own :ref:`wx.AppTraits` overriding the :meth:`wx.App.CreateTraits` function. Note that :ref:`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 :ref:`wx.AppTraits` and represent concrete implementation of the :ref:`wx.AppTraits` interface. .. seealso:: :ref:`App Overview `, :ref:`wx.App` | |class_hierarchy| Class Hierarchy ================================= .. raw:: html

The default version creates a registry-based `RegConfig` class under MSW and :ref:`wx.FileConfig` under all other platforms. The :meth:`wx.App.GetAppName` and :meth:`wx.App.GetVendorName` methods are used to determine the registry key or file name. :rtype: :ref:`wx.ConfigBase` .. method:: CreateEventLoop(self) Used by wxWidgets to create the main event loop used by :meth:`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. :rtype: :ref:`wx.EventLoopBase` .. method:: CreateLogTarget(self) Creates a :ref:`wx.Log` class for the application to use for logging errors. The default implementation returns a new :ref:`wx.LogGui` class. :rtype: :ref:`wx.Log` .. seealso:: :ref:`wx.Log` .. method:: GetAssertStackTrace(self) Helper function mostly useful for derived classes :meth:`ShowAssertDialog` implementation. Returns the stack frame as a plain (and possibly empty) `String` . This function is only available when ``USE_STACKWALKER`` is 1. :rtype: `string` .. versionadded:: 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.5 .. method:: GetDesktopEnvironment(self) This method returns the name of the desktop environment currently running in a Unix desktop. Currently only "KDE" or "GNOME" are supported and the code uses the X11 session protocol vendor name to figure out, which desktop environment is running. The method returns an empty string otherwise and on all other platforms. :rtype: `string` .. method:: GetStandardPaths(self) Returns the :ref:`wx.StandardPaths` object for the application. It's normally the same for Base and GUI except in the case of Mac and Cocoa. :rtype: :ref:`wx.StandardPaths` .. note:: The returned reference is to a ``StandardPathsBase`` class but you can consider it to be equivalent to :ref:`wx.StandardPaths` (which is documented). .. method:: GetToolkitVersion(self) 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. The version numbers returned are thus detected at run-time and not compile-time (except when this is not possible e.g. Motif). E.g. if your program is using wxGTK port this function will return ``wx.PORT_GTK`` and put in given pointers the versions of the GTK library in use. See `PlatformInfo` for more details. If a micro version is not available it will have a value of 0. :rtype: `tuple` :returns: ( :ref:`wx.PortId`, `major`, `minor`, `micro` ) .. method:: HasStderr(self) Returns ``True`` if ``fprintf(stderr)`` goes somewhere, ``False`` otherwise. :rtype: `bool` .. method:: IsUsingUniversalWidgets(self) Returns ``True`` if the library was built as wxUniversal. Always returns ``False`` for Base-only apps. :rtype: `bool` .. method:: SafeMessageBox(self, text, title) Shows a message box with the given text and title if possible. In some ports, e.g. wxMSW, a message box will always be shown, while in the other ones it will be only done if the GUI is available (e.g. X11 display was successfully opened for X11-based ports) and the function simply returns ``False`` without doing anything otherwise. This function is safe in the sense that it can always be called, even before creating :ref:`wx.App`, similarly to `wx.SafeShowMessage` which is implemented by calling this function and then logging the message to standard error stream if it returned ``False``. :param `text`: The text to show to the user. :type `text`: string :param `title`: The title of the message box shown to the user. :type `title`: string :rtype: `bool` :returns: ``True`` if the message box was shown or ``False`` otherwise. .. versionadded:: 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.5 .. method:: ShowAssertDialog(self, msg) Shows the assert dialog with the specified message in GUI mode or just prints the string to stderr in console mode. Returns ``True`` to suppress subsequent asserts, ``False`` to continue as before. :param `msg`: :type `msg`: string :rtype: `bool` .. attribute:: AssertStackTrace See :meth:`~wx.AppTraits.GetAssertStackTrace` .. attribute:: DesktopEnvironment See :meth:`~wx.AppTraits.GetDesktopEnvironment` .. attribute:: StandardPaths See :meth:`~wx.AppTraits.GetStandardPaths` .. attribute:: ToolkitVersion See :meth:`~wx.AppTraits.GetToolkitVersion`
