    /** @brief Pure virtual entrypoint to the application.

     Main() is the pure virtual entrypoint to your application. You
     inherit your class from Application and subclass this function to
     implement an application.

     The Main() function does not pass in command line parameters,
     you must use the functions GetCommandLineParamCount() and
     GetCommandLineParam() to get these values as these are platform
     independent ways of getting the command line (use GetAppFileName()
     to get the invoked executable filename).

     Once in this function, you create windows, etc. then call on
     Execute() to start the application's main event loop.

     An example code snippet follows (it won't compile, this just gives the
     general flavour of the framework and is adapted from an old HelloWorld
     example program that Star Division used to provide as part of their
     library).

     \code{.cpp}
        class TheApplication : public Application
        {
            public:
                virtual void Main();
        };

        class TheWindow : public WorkWindow
        {
            public:
                TheWindow(vcl::Window *parent, WinBits windowStyle) :
                        WorkWindow(parent, windowStyle) {}

                virtual void Paint(const Rectangle &);
        };

        void TheWindow::Paint(const Rectangle&)
        {
                DrawText(Point(100,100), String("Hello World!"));
        }

        void TheApplication::Main()
        {
