\subsection{Database sample}\label{sampledb}
The database sample is a small test program showing how to use the ODBC
-classes written by Remstar Intl. These classes are documented in a separate
-manual available from the wxWindows homepage. Obviously, this sample
-requires a database with ODBC support to be correctly installed on your
-system.

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.

\subsection{DnD sample}\label{samplednd}
This sample shows both clipboard and drag and drop in action. It is quite non
Take a look at DnDShapeDataObject class to see how you may use
\helpref{wxDataObject}{wxdataobject} to achieve this.

+\subsection{Event sample}\label{sampleevent}
+
+The event sample demonstrates various features of the wxWindows events. It
+shows using dynamic events and connecting/disconnecting the event handlers
+during the run time and also using
+\helpref{PushEventHandler()}{wxwindowpusheventhandler} and
+\helpref{PopEventHandler()}{wxwindowpopeventhandler}.
+
+It replaces the old dynamic sample.

+It also shows how to capture the output of the child process in both

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

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

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.
