"Hello, world!". It shows the basic structure of wxWidgets program and is the
most commented sample of all - looking at its source code is recommended.
-The next most useful sample is probably the \helpref{controls}{samplecontrols}
-one which shows many of wxWidgets standard controls, such as buttons,
-listboxes, checkboxes, comboboxes etc.
+The next most useful samples are probably \helpref{widgets}{samplewidgets}
+and \helpref{controls}{samplecontrols} which show many of wxWidgets native and
+generic controls, such as buttons, listboxes, checkboxes, comboboxes etc.
Other, more complicated controls, have their own samples. In this category you
may find the following samples showing the corresponding controls:
a good starting point for learning how to use wxWidgets.
+\subsection{Animate sample}\label{sampleanimate}
+
+The {\tt animate} sample shows how you can use \helpref{wxAnimationCtrl}{wxanimationctrl}
+control and shows concept of a platform-dependent animation encapsulated
+in \helpref{wxAnimation}{wxanimation}.
+
+
\subsection{Art provider sample}\label{sampleartprovider}
The {\tt artprov} sample shows how you can customize the look of standard
menu) and also how to process the notifications from it.
-\subsection{Checklist sample}\label{samplechecklist}
-
-This sample demonstrates use of the \helpref{wxCheckListBox}{wxchecklistbox}
-class intercepting check, select and double click events. It also tests
-use of various methods modifying the control, such as by deleting items
-from it or inserting new ones (these functions are actually implemented in
-the parent class \helpref{wxListBox}{wxlistbox} so the sample tests that class
-as well). The layout of the dialog is created using a \helpref{wxBoxSizer}{wxboxsizer}
-demonstrating a simple dynamic layout.
-
-
\subsection{Config sample}\label{sampleconfig}
This sample demonstrates the \helpref{wxConfig}{wxconfigbase} classes in a platform
\end{twocollist}
-\subsection{Database sample}\label{sampledb}
-
-The database sample is a small test program showing how to use the ODBC
-classes written by Remstar Intl. Obviously, this sample requires a
-database with ODBC support to be correctly installed on your system.
-
-
\subsection{DebugRpt sample}\label{sampledebugrpt}
This sample shows how to use \helpref{wxDebugReport}{wxdebugreport} class to
it proposes to either crash itself (by dereferencing a NULL pointer) or
generate debug report without doing it. Next it initializes the debug report
with standard information adding a custom file to it (just a timestamp) and
-allows to view the information gathered using
+allows to view the information gathered using
\helpref{wxDebugReportPreview}{wxdebugreportpreview}.
For the report processing part of the sample to work you should make available
-a Web server accepting form uploads, otherwise
+a Web server accepting form uploads, otherwise
\helpref{wxDebugReportUpload}{wxdebugreportupload} will report an error.
\helpref{wxDataObject}{wxdataobject} to achieve this.
-\subsection{Dynamic sample}\label{sampledynamic}
-
-This sample is a very small sample that demonstrates use of the
-\helpref{wxEvtHandler::Connect}{wxevthandlerconnect} method. This method
-should be used whenever it is not known at compile time which control
-will receive which event or which controls are actually going to be in
-a dialog or frame. This is most typically the case for any scripting
-language that would work as a wrapper for wxWidgets or programs where
-forms or similar datagrams can be created by the users.
-
-See also the \helpref{event sample}{sampleevent}
-
-
\subsection{Event sample}\label{sampleevent}
The event sample demonstrates various features of the wxWidgets events. It
\helpref{PushEventHandler()}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} and
\helpref{PopEventHandler()}{wxwindowpopeventhandler}.
-It replaces the old dynamic sample.
-
\subsection{Except(ions) sample}\label{sampleexcept}
bitmap is then converted to a wxImage and the foreground colour (black) is
replaced with red using \helpref{wxImage::Replace}{wximagereplace}.
+This sample also contains the code for testing the image rotation and resizing
+and using raw bitmap access, see the corresponding menu commands.
+
\subsection{Internat(ionalization) sample}\label{sampleinternat}
-\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.
-
-
\subsection{Scroll subwindow sample}\label{samplescrollsub}
This sample demonstrates use of the \helpref{wxScrolledWindow}{wxscrolledwindow}
controls into it.
+\subsection{Tab order sample}\label{sampletaborder}
+
+This sample allows to test keyboard navigation (mostly done using the
+\texttt{\textsc{TAB}} key, hence the sample name) between different controls.
+It shows the use of
+\helpref{wxWindow::MoveBeforeInTabOrder()}{wxwindowmovebeforeintaborder} and
+\helpref{MoveAfterInTabOrder()}{wxwindowmoveafterintaborder} methods to change
+the default order of the windows in the navigation chain and of
+\helpref{wxWindow::Navigate()}{wxwindownavigate} for moving focus along this
+chain.
+
+
\subsection{Text sample}\label{sampletext}
This sample demonstrates four features: firstly the use and many variants of
demonstrated here as well - try the corresponding menu entries.
+\subsection{Widgets sample}\label{samplewidgets}
+
+The widgets sample is the main presentation program for most simple and advanced
+native controls and complex generic widgets provided by wxWidgets.
+The sample tests their basic functionality, events, placement, modification
+in terms of colour and font as well as the possibility to change
+the controls programmatically, such as adding an item to a list box etc.
+All widgets are categorized for easy browsing.
+
\subsection{Wizard sample}\label{samplewizard}
This sample shows the so-called wizard dialog (implemented using
projects / wxWidgets.git / blobdiff
