</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

197 DDE on Windows, and TCP/IP on all platforms. Edit
<a href=
"../../samples/dde/ddesetup.h">ddesetup.h
</a>
198 to 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,
200 wxColourDialog, wxFileDialog, wxDirDialog, wxMessageBox, wxTextEntryDialog, wxSingleChoiceDialog.
201 For 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,
205 <li><a href=

206 using wxMDIParentFrame, wxMDIChildFrame.
207 <li><a href=
"../../samples/dynamic">dynamic
</a>: shows how to connect events to member functions
209 <li><a href=

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.
214 <li><a href=
"../../samples/html">html
</a>: a number of demos for the wxHTML class library, used inside
215 applications and also as a help facility.
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
221 WIN32, 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
223 scheme is used whereby child windows have full sizing and moving rights within the main
224 window. 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).
227 To compile this, you must edit include/wx/wxprec.h, comment out the windows.h inclusion, and recompile wxWindows.
228 <li><a href=
"../../samples/minifram">minifram
</a>: demonstrates a frame with a small title bar. On
229 platforms 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
231 small a wxWindows application as you can get.

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