+\subsection{DnD sample}\label{samplednd}
+
+This sample shows both clipboard and drag and drop in action. It is quite non
+trivial and may be safely used as a basis for implementing the clipboard and
+drag and drop operations in a real-life program.
+
+When you run the sample, its screen is split in several parts. On the top,
+there are two listboxes which show the standard derivations of
+\helpref{wxDropTarget}{wxdroptarget}:
+\helpref{wxTextDropTarget}{wxtextdroptarget} and
+\helpref{wxFileDropTarget}{wxfiledroptarget}.
+
+The middle of the sample window is taken by the log window which shows what is
+going on (of course, this only works in debug builds) and may be helpful to see
+the sequence of steps of data transfer.
+
+Finally, the last part is used for dragging text from it to either one of the
+listboxes (only one will accept it) or another application. The last
+functionality available from the main frame is to paste a bitmap from the
+clipboard (or, in the case of Windows version, also a metafile) - it will be
+shown in a new frame.
+
+So far, everything we mentioned was implemented with minimal amount of code
+using standard wxWindows classes. The more advanced features are demonstrated
+if you create a shape frame from the main frame menu. A shape is a geometric
+object which has a position, size and color. It models some
+application-specific data in this sample. A shape object supports its own
+private \helpref{wxDataFormat}{wxdataformat} which means that you may cut and
+paste it or drag and drop (between one and the same or different shapes) from
+one sample instance to another (or the same). However, chances are that no
+other program supports this format and so shapes can also be rendered as
+bitmaps which allows them to be pasted/dropped in many other applications
+(and, under Windows, also as metafiles which are supported by most of Windows
+programs as well - try Write/Wordpad, for example).
+
+Take a look at DnDShapeDataObject class to see how you may use
+\helpref{wxDataObject}{wxdataobject} to achieve this.

\subsection{Dynamic sample}\label{sampledynamic}
This sample is a very small sample that demonstrates the use of the

It also shows how to capture the output of the child process in both
-synchronous and asynchronous cases.

-\subsection{Scroll subwindow sample}\label{samplescrollsub}
-
-This sample demonstrates the use of the \helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow}
-class including placing subwindows into it and drawing simple graphics. It uses the
-\helpref{SetTargetWindow}{wxscrolledwindowsettargetwindow} method and thus the effect
-of scrolling does not show in the scrolled window itself, but in one of its subwindows.
-
-Additionally, this samples demonstrates how to optimize drawing operations in wxWindows,
-in particular using the \helpref{wxWindow::IsExposed}{wxwindowisexposed} method with
-the aim to prevent unnecessary drawing in the window and thus reducing or removing
-flicker on screen.

-\subsection{Rotate sample}\label{samplerotate}
-
-This is a simple example which demonstrates how to rotate an image with
-the \helpref{wxImage::Rotate}{wximagerotate} method. The rotation can
-be done without interpolation (left mouse button) which will be faster,
-or with interpolation (right mouse button) which is slower but gives
-better results.

TODO.
The sample also provides some timings for adding/deleting/sorting a lot of
(several thousands) controls into the control.

\subsection{Sockets sample}\label{samplesockets}
The sockets sample demonstrates how to use the communication facilities
Thirdly, on platforms which support it, the sample will offer to copy text to the
\helpref{wxClipboard}{wxclipboard} and to paste text from it. The GTK version will
use the so called PRIMARY SELECTION, which is the pseudo clipboard under X and
-best known from pasting text to the XTerm program.
+best known from pasting text to the XTerm program.
Last not least: some of the text controls have tooltips and the sample also shows
how tooltips can be centrally disabled and their latency controlled.
