wxWidgets: How to initialize wxApp without using macros and without entering the main loop

Just been through this myself with 2.8.10. The magic is this:

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow){
	// MyWxApp derives from wxApp
	wxApp::SetInstance(new MyApp());
	//or use wxEntryStart(argc , argv) in the console application
	wxEntryStart(hInstance , hPrevInstance , lpCmdLine , nCmdShow);
	wxTheApp->OnInit();

	// you can create top level-windows here or in OnInit()
	
	// do your testing here

	wxTheApp->OnRun();
	wxTheApp->OnExit();
	wxEntryCleanup();
}

You can just create a wxApp instance rather than deriving your own class using the technique above.

I'm not sure how you expect to do unit testing of your application without entering the mainloop as many wxWidgets components require the delivery of events to function. The usual approach would be to run unit tests after entering the main loop.
