- \class QApplication
- \brief The QApplication class manages the GUI application's control
- flow and main settings.
-
- \ingroup application
- \mainclass
-
- It contains the main event loop, where all events from the window
- system and other sources are processed and dispatched. It also
- handles the application's initialization and finalization, and
- provides session management. It also handles most system-wide and
- application-wide settings.
-
- For any GUI application that uses Qt, there is precisely one
- QApplication object, no matter whether the application has 0, 1, 2
- or more windows at any time. For non-GUI Qt applications, use
- QCoreApplication instead, which doesn't depend on the \l QtGui
- library.
-
- The QApplication object is accessible through the instance()
- function which return a pointer equivalent to the global qApp
- pointer.
-
- QApplication's main areas of responsibility are:
- \list
-
- \o It initializes the application with the user's desktop settings
- such as palette(), font() and doubleClickInterval(). It keeps track
- of these properties in case the user changes the desktop globally, for
- example through some kind of control panel.
-
- \o It performs event handling, meaning that it receives events
- from the underlying window system and dispatches them to the relevant
- widgets. By using sendEvent() and postEvent() you can send your own
- events to widgets.
-
- \o It parses common command line arguments and sets its internal
- state accordingly. See the \link QApplication::QApplication()
- constructor documentation\endlink below for more details about this.
-
- \o It defines the application's look and feel, which is
- encapsulated in a QStyle object. This can be changed at runtime
- with setStyle().
-
- \o It specifies how the application is to allocate colors.
- See setColorSpec() for details.
-
- \o It provides localization of strings that are visible to the user
- via translate().
-
- \o It provides some magical objects like the desktop() and the
- clipboard().
-
- \o It knows about the application's windows. You can ask which
- widget is at a certain position using widgetAt(), get a list of
- topLevelWidgets() and closeAllWindows(), etc.
-
- \o It manages the application's mouse cursor handling,
- see setOverrideCursor()
-
- \o On the X window system, it provides functions to flush and sync
- the communication stream, see flushX() and syncX().
-
- \o It provides support for sophisticated \link
- session.html session management \endlink. This makes it possible
- for applications to terminate gracefully when the user logs out, to
- cancel a shutdown process if termination isn't possible and even to
- preserve the entire application's state for a future session. See
- isSessionRestored(), sessionId() and commitData() and saveState()
- for details.
-
- \endlist
-
- Since the QApplication object does so much initialization, it
- \e{must} be created before any other objects related to the user
- interface are created.
-
- Since it also deals with common command line arguments, it is
- usually a good idea to create it \e before any interpretation or
- modification of \c argv is done in the application itself.

-
- A session manager in a desktop environment (in which Qt GUI
- applications live) keeps track of a session, which is a group of
- running applications, each of which has a particular state. The
- state of an application contains (most notably) the documents the
- application has open and the position and size of its windows.
-
- The session manager is used to save the session, e.g. when the

- machine is started up. We recommend that you use QSettings to save
- an individual application's settings, e.g. window positions,
- recently used files, etc. When the application is restarted by the
- session manager, you can restore the settings.
-
- QSessionManager provides an interface between the application
- and the session manager so that the program can work well with the
- session manager. In Qt, session management requests for action are
- handled by the two virtual functions QApplication::commitData()
- and QApplication::saveState(). Both provide a reference to a
- session manager object as argument, to allow the application to
- communicate with the session manager. The session manager can only
- be accessed through these functions.
-
- No user interaction is possible \e unless the application gets

- by calling allowsInteraction() or, if it's really urgent,
- allowsErrorInteraction(). Qt does not enforce this, but the session

- You can try to abort the shutdown process by calling cancel(). The
