I don't know why these patches never made it into wxWidgets, but earlier
this year there was more talk about updating wxAui on the wx-dev mailing
list and I think saving the perspective was part of it. I don't know what
came of it though.

If this is part of the C++ api I can add it for sure, it is?

It looks like wxTabFrame is not exposed though any header file.

It is unfortunately not really possible to expose these in a generic way.
wxLua can compile against a system installed copy of wxWidgets and we can't
expect people to be able to change "protected:" to "public:". There really
isn't a viable way to do this in C++ that isn't a complete hack that will
just lead to frustrating people with compilation errors.
A quick google search hints that wxPython has implemented this, how did
they do it?

John
