 213 <li><a href="../../samples/menu">menu</a>: tests menus.
 214 <li><a href="../../samples/mdi">mdi</a>: shows off the MDI (Multiple Document Interface) classes. On Windows, the regular MDI
 215 scheme is used whereby child windows have full sizing and moving rights within the main
 216 window. On other platforms, tabbed windows are used, where the children are always maximized.

 223 small a wxWindows application as you can get.

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