\subsection{Minimal sample}\label{sampleminimal}
This sample demonstrates the use of the \helpref{wxCheckListBox}{wxchecklistbox}
class intercepting check, select and double click events. It also tests the
use of various methods modifying the control, such as by deleting items

the parent class \helpref{wxListBox}{wxlistbox} so the sample tests that class

The controls sample is the main test program for most simple controls used in
wxWidgets. The sample tests their basic functionality, events, placement,
modification in terms of colour and font as well as the possibility to change
