187<li><a href="../../samples/bombs">bombs</a>: minesweeper-like game.
edc26c4c 188<li><a href="../../samples/caret">caret</a>: a sample to test the wxCaret class.
7921cf2b
JS
189<li><a href="../../samples/checklst">checklst</a>: demonstrates wxCheckListBox on
190supported platforms (currently Windows and GTK only).
191<li><a href="../../samples/config">config</a>: demonstrates use of wxConfig, which

194wxNotebook.
195<li><a href="../../samples/db">db</a>: wxDB ODBC sample.
196<li><a href="../../samples/dde">dde</a>: shows the DDE protocol in action, both using real
197DDE on Windows, and TCP/IP on all platforms. Edit <a href="../../samples/dde/ddesetup.h">ddesetup.h</a>
198to switch between compilation modes. Currently the TCP/IP mode needs a bit of work.
199<li><a href="../../samples/dialogs">dialogs</a>: shows some of the common dialogs available -- wxFontDialog,
200wxColourDialog, wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog, wxMessageBox, wxTextEntryDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog.
201For printing-related dialogs, see the printing sample.
202<li><a href="../../samples/dnd">dnd</a>: demonstrates drag and drop on supported platforms.
203<li><a href="../../samples/docview">docview</a>: demonstrates use of the document view classes,
204using wxFrame.
205<li><a href="../../samples/docvwmdi">docvwmdi</a>: : demonstrates use of the document view classes,
206using wxMDIParentFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
207<li><a href="../../samples/dynamic">dynamic</a>: shows how to connect events to member functions
208dynamically.
209<li><a href="../../samples/forty">forty</a>: a great little card game by Chris Breeze. A
210fully-fledged application!

212<li><a href="../../samples/grid">grid</a>: demonstrates the wxGrid class.
213<li><a href="../../samples/help">help</a>: shows how to use wxHelpController.
edc26c4c
JS
214<li><a href="../../samples/html">html</a>: a number of demos for the wxHTML class library, used inside
215applications and also as a help facility.
7921cf2b
JS
216<li><a href="../../samples/image">image</a>: shows off the cross-platform wxImage class.
217<li><a href="../../samples/internat">internat</a>: use of wxWindows' internationalization support.
218<li><a href="../../samples/joytest">joytest</a>: tests the wxJoystick class (currently Windows and GTK only).
219<li><a href="../../samples/layout">layout</a>: shows the constraint layout system in action.
220<li><a href="../../samples/listctrl">listctrl</a>: demonstrates the wxListCtrl (implemented natively on
221WIN32, and using a generic version on other platforms).
222<li><a href="../../samples/mdi">mdi</a>: shows off the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) classes. On Windows, the regular MDI
223scheme is used whereby child windows have full sizing and moving rights within the main
224window. On other platforms, tabbed windows are used, where the children are always maximized.
225<li><a href="../../samples/memcheck">memcheck</a>: demonstrates the memory checking/debugging facilities.
226<li><a href="../../samples/mfc">mfc</a>: shows how to use MFC and wxWindows code in the same application (Windows only).
818e52c2 227To compile this, you must edit include/wx/wxprec.h, comment out the windows.h inclusion, and recompile wxWindows.
7921cf2b
JS
228<li><a href="../../samples/minifram">minifram</a>: demonstrates a frame with a small title bar. On
229platforms that don't support it, a normal-sized title bar is displayed.
230<li><a href="../../samples/minimal">minimal</a>: just shows a frame, a menubar, and a statusbar. About as
231small a wxWindows application as you can get.
232<li><a href="../../samples/nativdlg">nativdlg</a>: shows how wxWindows can load a standard Windows
233dialog resource, translating the controls into wxWindows controls (Windows only).
234<li><a href="../../samples/notebook">notebook</a>: shows the wxNotebook (tabbed window) control.

247<li><a href="../../samples/splitter">splitter</a>: demonstrates the wxSplitterWindow class.
248<li><a href="../../samples/tab">tab</a>: demonstrates the generic tab window class. You should
249normally use wxNotebook instead, but the generic code is sometimes useful, for example for
250implementing wxNotebook on platforms with no native support.
251<li><a href="../../samples/taskbar">taskbar</a>: demonstrates the wxTaskBarIcon class, for
252adding icons to the system tray. Windows only, but may eventually be implemented for other desktop
253environments that use this metaphor.
