wx.PyApp

The wx.App class represents the application itself when USE_GUI=1 .

In addition to the features provided by wx.AppConsole it keeps track of the top window (see SetTopWindow) and adds support for video modes (see SetDisplayMode).

In general, application-wide settings for GUI-only apps are accessible from wx.App (or from wx.SystemSettings or wx.SystemOptions classes).

GetMainTopWindow	Returns a pointer to the top application window if any.
GetTopWindow	Returns a pointer to the top window.
GetUseBestVisual	Returns True if the application will use the best visual on systems that support different visuals, False otherwise.
IsActive	Returns True if the application is active, i.e. if one of its windows is currently in the foreground.
IsDisplayAvailable	Returns True if the application is able to connect to the system’s
MacHideApp	Hide all application windows just as the user can do with the

SafeYield	This function is similar to wx.Yield , except that it disables the user input to all program windows before calling wx.AppConsole.Yield and re-enables it again afterwards.
SafeYieldFor	Works like wx.SafeYield with onlyIfNeeded == True except that it allows the caller to specify a mask of events to be processed.
