XRC-related question

[Rob Gayvert]

Hi Cees,

The main problem here is that I haven't added all of the hooks you need 
to make this easy.
If you look at WxTopLevelPresenter>>restoreView, you'll see that after 
#loadFromXRC:,
the view and its children need to be "registered". If they're not, then 
when a callback comes
in, it can't find an object to notify, so the events are just ignored.

For now, give the following a try. When loading the resource, use

    view := res loadDialog: nil name: 'dialog_1'.
    view registerHandle.
    view getAllChildren
        do: [:child | child registerHandle].

Also, it doesn't look like #setSizeHints: is sufficient here. Instead, try

    self view getSizer layout.

.. Rob
