modem attached and (this only makes sense for Windows) list the available
connections.

+sample.
+
+
\subsection{Exec sample}\label{sampleexec}

displays help books given at command line.

\subsection{Image sample}\label{sampleimage}
The image sample demonstrates the use of the \helpref{wxImage}{wximage} class
bitmap is then converted to a wxImage and the foreground colour (black) is
replaced with red using \helpref{wxImage::Replace}{wximagereplace}.
+
+\subsection{Internat(ionalization) sample}\label{sampleinternat}
+
+The not very clearly named internat sample demonstrates the wxWindows
+internatationalization (i18n for short from now on) features. To be more
+precise, it only shows localization support, i.e. support for translating the
+program messages in another language while true i18n would also involve
+changing the other aspects of the programs behaviour.
+
+More information about this sample can be found in the {\tt readme.txt} file in
+its directory. Please see also \helpref{i18n overview}{internationalization}.

+
+This samples shows two controls at once: although initially it was written to
+demonstrate \helpref{wxNotebook}{wxnotebook} only, it can now be also used

+
+
+
+\subsection{Render sample}\label{samplerender}
+

This sample demonstrates four features: firstly the use and many variants of
higher level from using the {\tt EVT\_CHAR} macro. All characters will be logged
in a log window at the bottom of the main window. By pressing some of the function
keys, you can test some actions in the text ctrl as well as get statistics on the
-text ctrls, which is useful for testing if these stastitics actually are correct.

Thirdly, on platforms which support it, the sample will offer to copy text to the

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.

\end{itemize}
+Some buttons in the main toolbar are check buttons, i.e. they stay checked when
+pressed. On the platforms which support it, the sample also add a combobox
+to the toolbar showing how you can use arbitrary controls and not only buttons
+in it.

+group, that is checking any of them automatically unchecks the previously
+checked one.
