The GenApplication object is used as the top object in every application geode. It acts as the head of the generic object tree, and it provides all the functionality necessary for launching and shutting down the application. It is a subclass of GenClass and therefore inherits all the instance data and messages of that class.

GenApplicationClass has no inherent visual representation. Instead, the main windows of an application are created and managed by one or more GenPrimary objects, which should be placed both as children of the Application object and on the application's GAGCNLT_WINDOWS notification list (if it should appear when the application starts up).
