Description

EmuHawk is too big to recreate, and DiscoHawk doesn't use many types of controls.
Ideally we would have a sample app which has one of every kind of control, if only in a dummy showcase panel/dialog, and uses all the window management stuff like drag-and-drop, parenting, and keep-above.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing EmuHawk and DiscoHawk UI implementations to identify their control coverage and window-management behavior. Define a separate sample app or showcase panel that demonstrates the available controls, drag-and-drop, parenting, and keep-above behavior; done means it provides a broad comparison surface without recreating EmuHawk.
