Hi all, I¹ve spent more time writing up Chapter 4 Structure of a wxPerl program. I¹m now at a stage ready to talk about MainLoop(), OnInit(), OnExit(), and OnRun(). I¹ve checked some of the wxWidgets documentation, specifically
http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0/classwx_app_console.html However, the descriptions of MainLoop(), OnInit(), OnExit(), and OnRun() are quite short. I¹m wondering if the more experienced programmers, James, Steve, and others are able to provide some more indepth details? For example, what actually happens at a lower level when MainLoop() is called? Best Regards, Ron.
