[wxhaskell-users] FindReplaceData Issue

[Fernando B. <gre...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I'm working in my first project with wxHaskell.  My project includes an
editor, so I wanted to add find&replace functionality to it but then I
stepped into what I think is a little bug.
I think you'll see the problem clearly with an example (and it will be
easier for me than explaining it in english :P):
Let's say you've got the following code


>         *s* <- *findReplaceDataCreateDefault*
>         *findReplaceDataSetFindString* *s* "find"
>         *findReplaceDataSetReplaceString* *s* "replace"
>         *r* <- *findReplaceDataGetReplaceString* *s*
>

You expect that, when executed, the value of r will be "replace", but it's
not.  It's "find" instead.
Googleing a bit, I've found that this is a known bug in wxEiffel:
http://www.mombu.com/programming/eiffel/t-problems-getting-a-wx-find-replace-data-1408529.html
Then, I've checked the source code for wxHaskell (
http://darcs.haskell.org/wxhaskell/wxc/src/eljfindrepldlg.cpp) and found
this:

EWXWEXPORT(wxString*,*wxFindReplaceData_GetReplaceString*)(void* _obj)
> {
>     wxString *result = new wxString();
>     *result = ((wxFindReplaceData*)_obj)->*GetFindString*();
>     return result;
> }
>
I think that explains it.  Then I decided to write this mail to let
you know about it, so maybe it can be fixed in the next wxHaskell
release :)


Cheers!!
