[wxhaskell-users] size of text in pixel

[Rémi Vion]

Hi, I just registered to the mailing list.

I have a few question regarding the fact that I can't find the exact 
size (with/ height) in pixel of a (possibly multiline) bloc of text.
Maybe I just need to get the attribute outerSize of a text widget, 
because they just take the size of the text they contain? but it leads 
to following questions :


- what is the attribute who tells widgets like buttons, or static text 
fields to take the shape of the text they contain?


- Is it possible to know the size of texts easilly (taking in account 
police and size) ?


- where can I find a list of attributes of those widgets.
  I looked for them, but for example, I know that buttons resize 
according to text they contain, and I wans't able to find how to remove 
this behaviour, or to set it for other text container.


Thanks :)

Salut Rémi,

I don't know for sure, but I think I have some documentation
which you may find helpful

I believe this is partly explained in the
documentation for Graphics.UI.WXCore.Layout

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wxcore

Perhaps size (in the Sized class is what you want here?)

I think you're looking for Graphics.UI.WX.Classes
in http://hackage.haskell.org/package/wx
