Hello:

  we are implementing a service module which we call
an Object Manager, whose purpose is to show a graphical
tree view of a set of data objects organized as a tree.
A natural implementation is by using a Dialog.Tree
because it provides the functionality, and a graphical
view of it is already available. We thought it would be
a natural thing to store an OM to disk together with
the managed data. However, we just noticed that Dialog
objects are not persistent. Is this going to cause us
problems with storing/loading the Dialog.Tree data structure
or the objects pointed to by the TreeNodes?

In particular, we are not sure how we can implement
Internalize/Externalize for objects which are not
persistent.

If anybody has encountered this before or can offer
some insight what is going on, then please e-mail me.

Thank you,

Wojtek Skulski skulski{([at]})nowhere.xy
