[wxhaskell-users] embedding web control

[Konstantin Chugalinskiy]

Hello, wxHaskell community!

I need to embed web control into my application under Windows 7. I am trying
to use wxWebconnect (
http://www.kirix.com/labs/wxwebconnect/documentation/getting-started.html )
library with Gecko engine for this.
Haskell code:
foreign import stdcall unsafe "_browserFrame"
    c_browserFrame :: Ptr a -> IO(Ptr ())

main :: IO ()
main
  = start gui

gui :: IO ()
gui = do
    f <- frame [text := "Hello world!", size := (sz 600 600) ]
    withObjectPtr f c_browserFrame
    return ()

where browser frame looks like
C++ code:
void* __stdcall browserFrame (wxFrame* ptrWxWindow)
{
    wxString xulrunner_path = FindXulRunner(wxT("xr"));
    wxString dir(wxT("\\plugins"));
    wxWebControl::InitEngine(xulrunner_path);
    wxWebControl::AddPluginPath(dir);
    wxWebControl* ptrBrowser = new wxWebControl(ptrWxWindow, wxID_WEB,
wxPoint(0,0), wxSize(600,600)); //Here error comes from
    return ptrWxWindow;
}
it is compiled as dll by MS Visual 2008 and linked to Haskell program.

Also it looks like CreateControl execution fails.
It should be mentioned that ptrWxWindow can be operated with no errors (I
mean hiding, resizing etc) and no any other kind of control can be created
(wxButton, wxLabel).
If first parameter to c_browserFrame (parent window) is objectNull then
everything is ok with no changes to gui. I can't understand what is wrong
with ptrWxWindow param when passed from Haskell.
typeid(ptrWxWindow).name() shows expected type of ptrWxWindow - wxFrame.

What am I doing wrong? Please help me. Or maybe can you help me using your
wxdirect subsystem to add this control to wxHaskell?

with best regards,
