This sample shows how to use the common dialogs available from wxWidgets. These
dialogs are described in detail in the @ref overview_cmndlg.
+In addition to the dialogs accessible from the sample menus, you can also run
+it with a <code>--progress=style</code> command line option to show a
+wxProgressDialog with the given style (try 0 for the default style) on program
+startup, before the main window is shown.

internationalization (i18n for short from now on) features. To be more
precise, it only shows localization support, i.e. support for translating the
program messages into another language while true i18n would also involve
-changing the other aspects of the programs behaviour.

@sampleabout{wxKeyEvent}
+This sample can be used to interactively test the events produced by pressing
+various keyboard keys. It also shows the interaction between accelerators and
+the normal keyboard events (which are overridden by any defined accelerators)
+and finally allows to test that not skipping an event in EVT_KEY_DOWN handler
+suppresses the subsequent EVT_CHAR event.

This samples shows wxBookCtrl family of controls.
Although initially it was written to demonstrate wxNotebook
only, it can now be also used to see wxListbook,

use the so called PRIMARY SELECTION, which is the pseudo clipboard under X and
best known from pasting text to the XTerm program.

-how tooltips can be centrally disabled and their latency controlled.

+This sample shows how to use the various features of the @ref overview_xrc to
+create the gui of your program. It starts by loading and showing a frame and
+other resources. From its menu or toolbar you can then run the following dialogs:
