@class wxAppTraits
@wxheader{apptrait.h}
The @b wxAppTraits class defines various configurable aspects of a wxApp.
You can access it using wxApp::GetTraits function and you can
create your own wxAppTraits overriding the
wxApp::CreateTraits function.
By default, wxWidgets creates a @c wxConsoleAppTraits object for console
applications
(i.e. those applications linked against wxBase library only - see the
@ref overview_librarieslist "Libraries list" page) and a @c wxGUIAppTraits
object for GUI
applications.

E.g. if your program is using wxGTK port this function will return wxPORT_GTK
and
put in given pointers the versions of the GTK library in use.
