Hello Mike,

There are plenty of samples available. With Code Warrior, you get a
lot of samples, found at:
C:\Program Files\Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\(CodeWarrior Examples)\

Some of these samples are added when you install various SDKs. Some
are directly from Metrowerks, but you can get most of them by
downloading and installing the appropriate SDK. Most of the samples
are complete applications, so while they might not be small examples
which show how a particular control works, you could certainly find
out with a bit of digging. Some of the samples are broken down a bit
more though - the POL (Palm Object Library) samples, for example,
break things down into individual widgets which the POL provides and
shows clearly how to use each one.

I'm sure that the other development tools will come with sample code
as well (I've tried out PODS, which appears to come with the SDK
samples). So, have a look at your development tools, and if necessary,
download the SDKs you plan to use, and you should find plenty of
sample material to work with.

Even on the PalmSource website, you can find some "Recipes":
http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/docs/recipes/

These give you a short walkthrough of how to set up various common
aspects of Palm programming.

Adrien.
