10/**
11 Base class for persistent windows.
12
13 Compared to wxPersistentObject this class does three things:
14 - Most importantly, wxPersistentWindow catches wxWindowDestroyEvent
15 generated when the window is destroyed and saves its properties
16 automatically when it happens.
17 - It implements GetName() using wxWindow::GetName() so that the derived
18 classes don't need to do it.
19 - It adds a convenient wxPersistentWindow::Get() accessor returning the
20 window object of the correct type.

30 Constructor for a persistent window object.

32 The constructor uses wxEvtHandler::Connect() to catch
33 wxWindowDestroyEvent generated when the window is destroyed and call
34 wxPersistenceManager::SaveAndUnregister() when this happens. This
35 ensures that the window properties are saved and that this object
36 itself is deleted when the window is.

46 Because of this you need to specify a non-default window name in its
47 constructor when creating it or explicitly call wxWindow::SetName()
48 before saving or restoring persistent properties.
