<h3><a name="samples">Samples</a></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="../../samples/bombs">bombs</a>: minesweeper-like game.
<li><a href="../../samples/checklst">checklst</a>: demonstrates wxCheckListBox on
supported platforms (currently Windows and GTK only).
<li><a href="../../samples/config">config</a>: demonstrates use of wxConfig, which
defaults to wxRegConfig on WIN32, wxIniConfig on WIN16, and wxFileConfig on other platforms.
<li><a href="../../samples/controls">controls</a>: sample showing a variety of controls, including
wxNotebook.
<li><a href="../../samples/db">db</a>: wxDB ODBC sample.
<li><a href="../../samples/dde">dde</a>: shows the DDE protocol in action, both using real
DDE on Windows, and TCP/IP on all platforms. Edit <a href="../../samples/dde/ddesetup.h">ddesetup.h</a>
to switch between compilation modes. Currently the TCP/IP mode needs a bit of work.
<li><a href="../../samples/dialogs">dialogs</a>: shows some of the common dialogs available -- wxFontDialog,
wxColourDialog, wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog, wxMessageBox, wxTextEntryDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog.
For printing-related dialogs, see the printing sample.
<li><a href="../../samples/dnd">dnd</a>: demonstrates drag and drop on supported platforms.
<li><a href="../../samples/docview">docview</a>: demonstrates use of the document view classes,
using wxFrame.
<li><a href="../../samples/docvwmdi">docvwmdi</a>: : demonstrates use of the document view classes,
using wxMDIParentFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
<li><a href="../../samples/dynamic">dynamic</a>: shows how to connect events to member functions
dynamically.
<li><a href="../../samples/forty">forty</a>: a great little card game by Chris Breeze. A
fully-fledged application!
<li><a href="../../samples/fractal">fractal</a>: fractal mountains by Andrew Davison.
<li><a href="../../samples/grid">grid</a>: demonstrates the wxGrid class.
<li><a href="../../samples/help">help</a>: shows how to use wxHelpController.
<li><a href="../../samples/image">image</a>: shows off the cross-platform wxImage class.
<li><a href="../../samples/internat">internat</a>: use of wxWindows' internationalization support.
<li><a href="../../samples/joytest">joytest</a>: tests the wxJoystick class (currently Windows and GTK only).
<li><a href="../../samples/layout">layout</a>: shows the constraint layout system in action.
<li><a href="../../samples/listctrl">listctrl</a>: demonstrates the wxListCtrl (implemented natively on
WIN32, and using a generic version on other platforms).
<li><a href="../../samples/mdi">mdi</a>: shows off the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) classes. On Windows, the regular MDI
scheme is used whereby child windows have full sizing and moving rights within the main
window. On other platforms, tabbed windows are used, where the children are always maximized.
<li><a href="../../samples/memcheck">memcheck</a>: demonstrates the memory checking/debugging facilities.
<li><a href="../../samples/mfc">mfc</a>: shows how to use MFC and wxWindows code in the same application (Windows only).
<li><a href="../../samples/minifram">minifram</a>: demonstrates a frame with a small title bar. On
platforms that don't support it, a normal-sized title bar is displayed.
<li><a href="../../samples/minimal">minimal</a>: just shows a frame, a menubar, and a statusbar. About as
small a wxWindows application as you can get.
<li><a href="../../samples/nativdlg">nativdlg</a>: shows how wxWindows can load a standard Windows
dialog resource, translating the controls into wxWindows controls (Windows only).
<li><a href="../../samples/notebook">notebook</a>: shows the wxNotebook (tabbed window) control.
<li><a href="../../samples/oleauto">oleauto</a>: a little OLE automation controller (Windows only; requires
Excel to be present).
<li><a href="../../samples/ownerdrw">ownerdrw</a>: demonstrates owner-draw menus and controls (Windows only).
<li><a href="../../samples/png">png</a>: demonstrates PNG loading.
<li><a href="../../samples/printing">printing</a>: shows printing and previewing.
<li><a href="../../samples/proplist">proplist</a>: demonstrates the property list classes (a VB-style property editor).
<li><a href="../../samples/regtest">regtest</a>: tests the low-level Windows registry functions (Windows only).
<li><a href="../../samples/resource">resource</a>: shows how to use wxWindows resources (.wxr files).
<li><a href="../../samples/sashtest">sashtest</a>: demonstrates use of the wxSashWindow class to allow
the user to resize subwindows.
<li><a href="../../samples/splitter">splitter</a>: demonstrates the wxSplitterWindow class.
<li><a href="../../samples/tab">tab</a>: demonstrates the generic tab window class. You should
normally use wxNotebook instead, but the generic code is sometimes useful, for example for
implementing wxNotebook on platforms with no native support.
<li><a href="../../samples/taskbar">taskbar</a>: demonstrates the wxTaskBarIcon class, for
adding icons to the system tray. Windows only, but may eventually be implemented for other desktop
environments that use this metaphor.
<li><a href="../../samples/thread">thread</a>: tests the family of classes for doing thread
programming.
<li><a href="../../samples/toolbar">toolbar</a>: demonstrates wxToolBar.
<li><a href="../../samples/treectrl">treectrl</a>: demonstrates wxTreeCtrl.
<li><a href="../../samples/typetest">typetest</a>: tests various data type classes, including
wxTime, wxDate and wxVariant.
<li><a href="../../samples/validate">validate</a>: shows simple use of validation.
<li><a href="../../samples/wxpoem">wxpoem</a>: a little poetry display program.
<li><a href="../../samples/wxsocket">wxsocket</a>: demonstrates the TCP/IP family of classes.
