Hi Dean,

I'm very sorry nobody got back to you.  Personally, I filed your message
away in my pending queue and marked it 'reread'.

By the way, it might help to attach your examples in an easy
compile-and-run format, as I have hopefully done.  It just smooths
out these discussions a little bit! :-)

Could you attach your modified code?  My experience with wxhaskell is
that once you create a widget, it's going to be displayed, so you might
as well lay it out somewhere.

You could set the visible attribute.
See attachment.

I do not claim that this is the right way to go about things.  Maybe
somebody like Mads or Shelarcy would have a better idea.
