186 <ul>
187 <li><a href="../../samples/bombs">bombs</a>: minesweeper-like game.
188 <li><a href="../../samples/caret">caret</a>: a sample to test the wxCaret class.
189 <li><a href="../../samples/checklst">checklst</a>: demonstrates wxCheckListBox on
190 supported platforms (currently Windows and GTK only).
191 <li><a href="../../samples/config">config</a>: demonstrates use of wxConfig, which
192 defaults to wxRegConfig on WIN32, wxIniConfig on WIN16, and wxFileConfig on other platforms.
193 <li><a href="../../samples/console">console</a>: demonstrates a console application using
194 console-mode (no-GUI) compilation of wxWindows.
195 <li><a href="../../samples/controls">controls</a>: sample showing a variety of controls, including
196 wxNotebook.
197 <li><a href="../../samples/db">db</a>: wxDB ODBC sample.
198 <li><a href="../../samples/dde">dde</a>: shows the DDE protocol in action, both using real
199 DDE on Windows, and TCP/IP on all platforms. Edit <a href="../../samples/dde/ddesetup.h">ddesetup.h</a>
200 to switch between compilation modes. Currently the TCP/IP mode needs a bit of work.
201 <li><a href="../../samples/dialogs">dialogs</a>: shows some of the common dialogs available -- wxFontDialog,
202 wxColourDialog, wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog, wxMessageBox, wxTextEntryDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog.
203 For printing-related dialogs, see the printing sample.
204 <li><a href="../../samples/dnd">dnd</a>: demonstrates drag and drop on supported platforms.
205 <li><a href="../../samples/docview">docview</a>: demonstrates use of the document view classes,
206 using wxFrame.
207 <li><a href="../../samples/docvwmdi">docvwmdi</a>: : demonstrates use of the document view classes,
208 using wxMDIParentFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
209 <li><a href="../../samples/drawing">drawing</a>: tests device context drawing.
210 <li><a href="../../samples/dynamic">dynamic</a>: shows how to connect events to member functions
211 dynamically.
212 <li><a href="../../samples/forty">forty</a>: a great little card game by Chris Breeze. A
213 fully-fledged application!
214 <li><a href="../../samples/fractal">fractal</a>: fractal mountains by Andrew Davison.
215 <li><a href="../../samples/grid">grid</a>: demonstrates the wxGrid class.
216 <li><a href="../../samples/help">help</a>: shows how to use wxHelpController.
217 <li><a href="../../samples/html">html</a>: a number of demos for the wxHTML class library, used inside
218 applications and also as a help facility.
219 <li><a href="../../samples/image">image</a>: shows off the cross-platform wxImage class.
220 <li><a href="../../samples/internat">internat</a>: use of wxWindows' internationalization support.
221 <li><a href="../../samples/joytest">joytest</a>: tests the wxJoystick class (currently Windows and GTK only).
222 <li><a href="../../samples/layout">layout</a>: shows the constraint layout system in action.
223 <li><a href="../../samples/listctrl">listctrl</a>: demonstrates the wxListCtrl (implemented natively on
224 WIN32, and using a generic version on other platforms).
225 <li><a href="../../samples/mdi">mdi</a>: shows off the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) classes. On Windows, the regular MDI
226 scheme is used whereby child windows have full sizing and moving rights within the main
227 window. On other platforms, tabbed windows are used, where the children are always maximized.
228 <li><a href="../../samples/memcheck">memcheck</a>: demonstrates the memory checking/debugging facilities.
229 <li><a href="../../samples/mfc">mfc</a>: shows how to use MFC and wxWindows code in the same application (Windows only).
230 To compile this, you must edit include/wx/wxprec.h, comment out the windows.h inclusion, and recompile wxWindows.
231 <li><a href="../../samples/minifram">minifram</a>: demonstrates a frame with a small title bar. On
232 platforms that don't support it, a normal-sized title bar is displayed.
233 <li><a href="../../samples/minimal">minimal</a>: just shows a frame, a menubar, and a statusbar. About as
234 small a wxWindows application as you can get.
235 <li><a href="../../samples/nativdlg">nativdlg</a>: shows how wxWindows can load a standard Windows
236 dialog resource, translating the controls into wxWindows controls (Windows only).
237 <li><a href="../../samples/nettest">nettest</a>: wxDialUpManager demo.
238 <li><a href="../../samples/notebook">notebook</a>: shows the wxNotebook (tabbed window) control.
239 <li><a href="../../samples/oleauto">oleauto</a>: a little OLE automation controller (Windows only; requires
240 Excel to be present).
241 <li><a href="../../samples/ownerdrw">ownerdrw</a>: demonstrates owner-draw menus and controls (Windows only).
242 <li><a href="../../samples/png">png</a>: demonstrates PNG loading.
243 <li><a href="../../samples/printing">printing</a>: shows printing and previewing.
244 <li><a href="../../samples/proplist">proplist</a>: demonstrates the property list classes (a VB-style property editor).
245 <li><a href="../../samples/regtest">regtest</a>: tests the low-level Windows registry functions (Windows only).
246 <li><a href="../../samples/resource">resource</a>: shows how to use wxWindows resources (.wxr files).
247 <li><a href="../../samples/richedit">richedit</a>: a work-in-progress rich text editor with plain text and HTML export
248 facilities.
249 <li><a href="../../samples/sashtest">sashtest</a>: demonstrates use of the wxSashWindow class to allow
250 the user to resize subwindows.
251 <li><a href="../../samples/splitter">splitter</a>: demonstrates the wxSplitterWindow class.
252 <li><a href="../../samples/tab">tab</a>: demonstrates the generic tab window class. You should
253 normally use wxNotebook instead, but the generic code is sometimes useful, for example for
254 implementing wxNotebook on platforms with no native support.
255 <li><a href="../../samples/taskbar">taskbar</a>: demonstrates the wxTaskBarIcon class, for
256 adding icons to the system tray. Windows only, but may eventually be implemented for other desktop
257 environments that use this metaphor.
258 <li><a href="../../samples/text">text</a>: demonstrates single and multiline text controls,
259 and clipboard operations.
260 <li><a href="../../samples/thread">thread</a>: tests the family of classes for doing thread
261 programming.
262 <li><a href="../../samples/toolbar">toolbar</a>: demonstrates wxToolBar.
263 <li><a href="../../samples/treectrl">treectrl</a>: demonstrates wxTreeCtrl.
