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