wxWGTK: Best way to save/restore Application session to/from file?

[Mahmoud Eltahawy]

Hi All,
I have an application with wxGTK3.0.0 and I am searching for a way to save
the current application session to file then restore it later ?
Can you please guide me for the best way to do this?


Thanks
Mahmoud

I'm facing the same problem, so this interesting question bugs me as
well. So far I have used my own serializer function for this with
success. Is there any functionality in WX I can use better?

I suggest that you take a look at wxPersistence
<http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_persistence.html> for your
controls as a starting point.

Hi Steve, I tried to run the example of wxPersistenceManager , but I got
this error
error: cannot call member function 'bool
wxPersistenceManager::RegisterAndRestore(T*) [with T = wxNotebook]' without
object

can you please provide me with little code to save and restore the state of
wxNotebook for example?

Many thanks
Mahmoud

Have a look at the widgets sample.

note to self: no.

I recommend you to use your own serializer class (and possibly) use
multiple inheritance to achieve this goal.

PS: WX tries hard to be MFC replacement on Windows, and IIRC MFC has
serializer class as the base class of all classes (but I might be wrong,
I'm not MFC guru). So it might be good approach to implement this to WX
and create patch for WX. Though it is a big challenge and not so easy...

So far, I implemented "render log", where every user's action is
written, and in "recovery state" it is sending events to controls from
the render log.
