The only issue with this is that most of the C++ samples have multiple 
source files, so we probably would have to restructure the demo to make 
it easy to see all of them.  Probably better from a UI point of view is 
to just have some C++ snippets that can be displayed with each widget in 
the demo, but then those would have to be maintained separately from the 
samples and so it could become a mess...
