Hi,
I have a SizedDialog in it I have an aui Manager, but I can't get it to persist the layout of the panels controlled by the aui manager using wx.lib.agw.persist.
I use the same method which works for splitters, auinotebook etc.
Do I need to set something special when an aui Manager is involved on a Dialog?

Does the AUIHandler class return anything when you call its `Restore`
method? i.e., there is a line in the AuiHandler class:
perspective = self._pObject.RestoreValue(name)
Does `perspective` evaluate to a string or to ``None``?

My dialog is something along these lines.
sc.SizedDialog
-- content pane to which I assign a name
-- aui manager is managing the content pane
--- panels managed by aui are sized_panel or sized_scrolled_panel all have a name assigned
On Close I do:
self._persistMgr.SaveAndUnregister()
and on open I do:
self._persistMgr.RegisterAndRestoreAll(self.view)
self.view would be the dialog in the above.

If I understand correctly, that's probably because AUIHandler is
instantiated only with TLWHandler, and your dialog content pane is not
a top level window. One possible solution would be to add this line:
("AUIHandler", (wx.Window, )),
*At the end* of the HANDLERS constant in the persist_handlers.py file.
It might work, but again I will need a sample app to play with in
order to check if it works or not (or you could do it for me...).

That break point isn't hit, so I put one to the save one and that one isn't
hit either, but I do hit save/restore for scrolled windows which are the
panels controlled by the aui manager.My dialog is something along these lines.
sc.SizedDialog
-- content pane to which I assign a name
-- aui manager is managing the content pane
--- panels managed by aui are sized_panel or sized_scrolled_panel all have a
name assignedOn Close I do:
self._persistMgr.SaveAndUnregister()and on open I do:
self._persistMgr.RegisterAndRestoreAll(self.view)self.view would be the dialog in the above.
I did this instead, to have fewer problems with 'default/bad' window names, i.e. just added "cPanel" to the BAD_DEFAULT_NAMES.
("AUIHandler", (wx.lib.sized_controls.SizedPanel, )),
Now the breakpoint in the AUIHandler.Save method is hit, but as it does:
eventHandler = self._window.GetEventHandler()
We are not quit there.
self._window at this point is my SizedDialog.
sizeDialog
- contentPane
--- aui manages contentPane
In the debugger I would get at the aui manager by doing this instead:
eventHandler = self._window.mainPanel.GetEventHandler()
It is fine to use AUI to manage e.g. a panel, no?
Maybe instead of using GetEventHandler have something like GetAUIManager? Maybe being added to the managed window by SetManagedWindow?

Uhm, how is that possible? If the breakpoint is hit, shouldn't it mean
that self._window is a subclass of wx.lib.sized_controls.SizedPanel?
This is what the line:
("AUIHandler", (wx.lib.sized_controls.SizedPanel, )),
is meant to be. Or am I missing something? (Or do I need some sleep?)

Yes, it is.

Well, in theory it should be the same: if a window is managed by AUI,
its EvtHandler is actually AuiManager (because all other event
handlers are pushed back by AuiManager).
I feel I am missing something basic here...

Attached find the sample application and a suggested patch - similar to the suggestion you made yesterday.
Needed to add 'cPanel' to BadDefaults and create a "kind" entry.
But it is not quit there.
Run it and enlarge it and resize the pane on the left, close and reopen and it that should have worked.
Now minimize one of the panes on the right and close and reopen, that pane is no longer shown, not as a toolbar entry nor ...

It's a bug in AUI.
I just played a bit with your sample and with the AUI
Save/LoadPerspective methods and it appears that minimized panes do
not get restored in any way, as LoadPerspective doesn't take into
account the fact that a minimized pane has a "_min" string attached to
it.
I have fixed it on my local copy of framemanager.py (and I attach a
diff against the latest SVN). I'll upload the new version when I get
back home tonight.
Thank you, that was a bad and hard one 
Andrea.

Great, just updated and I can confirm that this works now.
