 280 <li><a href="../../samples/statbar">statbar</a>: demonstrates the wxStatusBar class.
 281 <li><a href="../../samples/tab">tab</a>: demonstrates the generic tab window class. You should

 283 implementing wxNotebook on platforms with no native support.
 284 <li><a href="../../samples/taskbar">taskbar</a>: demonstrates the wxTaskBarIcon class, for
 285 adding icons to the system tray. Windows only, but may eventually be implemented for other desktop
