Hi Bulat, can you please give screenshots? in particular, i see unix-like style in TreeCtrl and scrollbars in examples i've built from gtk2hs. The scroll bars are OK: http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~ndm/temp/proof.png The appearance is native, but the arrow on the left shouldn't be disabled when scrolled to the full left. They are close, but have got things wrong all over the place. Thanks Neil ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

The properties themselves do not have non-H98 types, but the current set function uses existential types. We could provide a simpler version of set that doesn't have the nice syntax and uses H98 types.

Re: Re[4]: [Haskell-cafe] i need wxHaskell compiled for ghc 6.6.1 on Windows
Hi There's really no such thing as Windows native controls any more, at least not ones that any apps actually use. You'll note that Internet Explorer, MS Office and VisualStudio all paint their own custom control set that are similar but not exactly the same as the native controls (eg those used by NotePad/WordPad). But the native controls are a lot nicer. The fact that MS Office, IE and VS are all annoying doesn't meant that Haskell developers should be excluded from writing non-annoying user interfaces. Gtk+ uses themes too, and on Windows it uses a Windows theme. This uses the native WinXP themeing dll. Either 1) it does, but very very badly, or 2) it doesn't. Even the ones that look similar are not quite right. It is getting better though, but I'm not sure they are using the theme DLL (purely from the results, I have no idea what the code says) Yes, that's what we're addressing in the current dev cycle, making more extensive use of properties and removing the duplication between the properties and the direct set/get calls. :( - please let the set/get calls remain, since the properties are likely to only be available with non-H98 types.

Gtk+ uses themes too, and on Windows it uses a Windows theme. This uses the native WinXP themeing dll. It's possible to use any of the Unix themes on windows, but nobody would ever want to do that. As noted before, the differences between the Gtk+ Windows theme and the common 'native' windows control sets have been getting less and less with each recent release of Gtk+. > >> - current lack of high-level properties machinery in gtk2hs > > > Actually Gtk2Hs and wxHaskell have a very similar properties api (they > > both stole it off of an older Haskell GUI lib) and we're planning to > > make further improvements to that in the current development cycle. > > yes, there is API but as far as i see, it's not yet fully implemented > for each type of control. for example, in TreeDemo.hs and DirList.hs > examples there are lots of handmade calls - compare them to > FileBrowse.hs wxHaskell example (although i may be unfair here, but it > seems that wxHaskell example uses properties more extensively) Yes, that's what we're addressing in the current dev cycle, making more extensive use of properties and removing the duplication between the properties and the direct set/get calls.

You must add --with-msc option to ./configure command, if you want to use Visual Studio's dll. http://wxhaskell.sourceforge.net/building-msc.html If you want to use GLCanvas or ODBC support, you must modify wxWidgets' include\wx\msw\setup.h file to enable Option. To use GLCanvas, we must set "#define wxUSE_GLCANVAS 1" ODBC support is simillar, And ODBC support isn't work with Unicode support. wxWidgets 2.4.2 doesn't support ODBC with Unicode. I think 2.6.4 or greater can use ODBC support with Unicode. But I can't where is bug now. wxWidgets 2.4.2's project file is broken. I point out and attched patch for this problem in previous mail, so you can build that with patch. http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2007-July/029438.html I think wxc-2.6.3 project file depends on wxSTC. So you must build wxSTC before building wxc on Windows, if you want to build wxc with wxWidgets 2.6.3, or modifying wxc-2.6.3 to support greater version (e.g. wxWidgets 2.6.4). This problem comes from merging wxStyledTextCntrl support. If we want to avoid it, we must add building option with STC support or not in project file, or add wxc-withSTC-* project file. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=d80c8a540701110913h3e28284aua137ef299f259ff6%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=wxhaskell-users Best Regards, -- shelarcy http://page.freett.com/shelarcy/ ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Re: Re[2]: [Haskell-cafe] i need wxHaskell compiled for ghc 6.6.1 on Windows
Hi > - native appearance I think that's pretty good these days, the native theme on Windows has been getting better and better from Gtk+ 2.6 to the current 2.10 wxHaskell used to be 10 times better than Gtk, now its about twice as good. The Gtk developers are seriously addressing some of the mistakes, and the work is going in the direction, so my hope is that it will hit nearly perfect one day. Duncan even volunteered to file the bug report etc. on any bugs I spot and screenshot.
