Detailed Description

CPApplication is THE way to start up the Cappuccino framework for your application to use. Every GUI application has exactly one instance of CPApplication (or of a custom subclass of CPApplication). Your program's main() function can create that instance by calling the CPApplicationMain function. A simple example looks like this:

function main(args, namedArgs)
{
    CPApplicationMain(args, namedArgs);
}

-(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(CPNotification)aNotification; Sent from the notification center after the app initializes, but before receiving events.

Parameters

aNotification

contains information about the event

-(void)applicationWillFinishLaunching:(CPNotification)aNotification; Sent from the notification center before the app is initialized.

Parameters

aNotification

contains information about the event
