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.
