Abstract base class for application classes.
This class shouldn't be used directly - you'll normally use JUCEApplication as the base for your app, and that inherits from this, adding some more functionality to it.

virtual |
Destructor.

Returns the global instance of the application object that's running.
Referenced by JUCEApplication::getInstance().
|
pure virtual |
Returns the application's name.
An application must implement this to name itself.
Implemented in JUCEApplication.
|
pure virtual |
Returns the application's version number.
Implemented in JUCEApplication.

pure virtual |
Checks whether multiple instances of the app are allowed.
If you application class returns true for this, more than one instance is permitted to run (except on the Mac where this isn't possible).
If it's false, the second instance won't start, but it you will still get a callback to anotherInstanceStarted() to tell you about this - which gives you a chance to react to what the user was trying to do.
Implemented in JUCEApplication.
|
pure virtual |
Called when the application starts.
This will be called once to let the application do whatever initialisation it needs, create its windows, etc.
After the method returns, the normal event-dispatch loop will be run, until the quit() method is called, at which point the shutdown() method will be called to let the application clear up anything it needs to delete.
If during the initialise() method, the application decides not to start-up after all, it can just call the quit() method and the event loop won't be run.
| commandLineParameters | the line passed in does not include the name of the executable, just the parameter list. To get the parameters as an array, you can call JUCEApplication::getCommandLineParameters() |

pure virtual |
Indicates that the user has tried to start up another instance of the app.
This will get called even if moreThanOneInstanceAllowed() is false.
Implemented in JUCEApplication.
|
pure virtual |
Called when the operating system is trying to close the application.
The default implementation of this method is to call quit(), but it may be overloaded to ignore the request or do some other special behaviour instead. For example, you might want to offer the user the chance to save their changes before quitting, and give them the chance to cancel.
If you want to send a quit signal to your app, this is the correct method to call, because it means that requests that come from the system get handled in the same way as those from your own application code. So e.g. you'd call this method from a "quit" item on a menu bar.

If any unhandled exceptions make it through to the message dispatch loop, this callback will be triggered, in case you want to log them or do some other type of error-handling.
If the type of exception is derived from the std::exception class, the pointer passed-in will be valid. If the exception is of unknown type, this pointer will be null.
