The type signature on liftGW is wrong. Also, as mentioned elsewhere, the two matches overlap; the second case never gets called. The correct type signature for "liftGW" is: liftGW :: GridWidget -> (forall widget. WidgetClass widget => widget -> t) -> t Note that the "f" passed in has to accept *any* widget type, so it's possible that existential types aren't what you want. -- ryan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
