a good starting point for learning how to use wxWindows.
+\subsection{Art provider sample}\label{sampleartprovider}

+The {\tt artprov} sample shows how you can customize the look of standard
+wxWindows dialogs by replacing default bitmaps/icons with your own versions.
+It also shows how you can use wxArtProvider to
+get stock bitmaps for use in your application.

connected to the Internet, in which case you will not see this) or not.
Using the menu entries, you may also dial or hang up the line if you have a
modem attached and (this only makes sense for Windows) list the available
connections.
-\subsection{Dynamic sample}\label{sampledynamic}
-
-This sample is a very small sample that demonstrates the 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 wxWindows or programs where
-forms or similar datagrams can be created by the uses.

-\subsection{Exec sample}\label{sampleexec}
-
-The exec sample demonstrates the \helpref{wxExecute}{wxexecute} and
-\helpref{wxShell}{wxshell} functions. Both of them are used to execute the
-external programs and the sample shows how to do this synchronously (waiting
-until the program terminates) or asynchronously (notification will come later).
-
-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.

-\subsection{Font sample}\label{samplefont}
-
-The font sample demonstrates \helpref{wxFont}{wxfont},
-\helpref{wxFontEnumerator}{wxfontenumerator} and
-\helpref{wxFontMapper}{wxfontmapper} classes. It allows you to see the fonts
-available (to wxWindows) on the computer and shows all characters of the
-chosen font as well.

+The event sample demonstrates various features of the wxWindows events. It

+during the run time and also using
+\helpref{PushEventHandler()}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} and

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}.

keys, you can test some actions in the text ctrl as well as get statistics on the
