SavePerspective and LoadPerspective

[Joel]

What I save a perspective to the registry, and I load it again, the entire UI is all over the shot:

Before:
After:

Not only is the notebook missing, I cannot drag the currently docked toolbar.

Did you try to just save it into a string first and then reload it? e.g.:

Code: Select all

wxString s = m_mgr.SavePerspective();
m_mgr.LoadPerspective(s);


What I'm getting at is this: Does saving it in the registry make it not work, or just the perspective loading and saving?

doing what you said works - I have a feeling its because of some wild pointer or something - i dunno

It may be that you forgot to give all of your panes names. If you don't specify a pane name, wxAUI will generate a random one for you.

If you close the program and open it again, of course the random pane names will be different.

Try using Name() to specify a pane name that doesn't change.

e.g

Code: Select all

m_mgr.AddPane(wnd, wxPaneInfo().
                  Name(wxT("put_name_here")).Caption(wxT("Pane Caption")));

Sure No Problem.

Ah, thanks, maybe you should mention this in the docs? coz in wx its not routine that users have to assign names to controls.
