Re: [Haskell-cafe] Level of Win32 GUI support in the Haskell platform
I'm using Gtk2hs in windows (and linux) with no big problems. Cairo also works. Glade does not allow me to use accents in the user interfaces on windows, but otherwise works ok. I haven't tried wx on windows. It works on linux and it provides a more natural interface (gtk will look like gtk also in windows). I found wx a bit limited (I couldn't dock my app into the traybar), but it was enough to write a sudoku UI. I'm releasing apps using gtk2hs on windows and my clients haven't complained so far. You'll need to strip your apps if you are planning to distribute them, otherwise you'll carry more than 15MB with every executable. Cheers, Ivan.

[Haskell-cafe] Level of Win32 GUI support in the Haskell platform
I've been for functions like GetMessage, TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage in the Haskell Platform Win32 library - the usual message loop stuff - and not finding them. Hoogle says no results found. Is this level of Win32 GUI coding supported? (other than by dealing with the FFI myself) Alternatively, should I be doing dialog-based coding and leaving Haskell to worry about message loops behind the scenes? Either way, is there an example I can use for reference? I have something along the lines of Petzolds Hello World in mind as the ideal (register a window class, handle the messages, paint some text), but anything that shows how to get a basic Win32 GUI app running in Haskell is fine. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Various people recommend the gtk (aka Gtk2Hs) and wx packages for that. I've never been able to get wx to build, but gtk works fine. Others (mostly those using macs) report the opposite. -- Chris Smith ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I'm already familiar (though very rusty) with Win32 from C - it seemed like an easy if limited option. But I'll take a look at gtk2hs anyway.
