Description Thomas Schindl CLA 2014-02-03 11:26:17 EST 
the platform unfortunately voted down bug 398837 so we should think about adding our custom subclasses of Application/Menu/Window/Part because the current work around to use persistedState seems more like a hack than a long term solution.
Comment 1 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2014-02-04 10:53:52 EST 
You're thinking of subclassing the ones which are to have lifecycle and create placeholders for them? 

Yes the persisted state solution was meant as temporary by design.

subclassing - I'm a bit fed up by the platform so we'd have EFXPart, EFXWindow, ... - I also filed a request to only contribute those - it looks like they'll remove dialogs & wizards as well so we'd anyways have to subclass
Comment 3 Thomas Schindl CLA 2014-02-04 11:29:46 EST 
... this make came across a bit harsh - i understand why the platform is moving slow on API and that there are deadlines but I don't want this to hold us off for at least one more year to get real lifecycle & dialogs/wizards
