[wxhaskell-users] problem with scrolledWindow

[David R. <dr...@jd...>]

I've gotten around to running my code using wxhaskell 0.4 on the mac.

The refit function is definitely a nice addition, but I've run into
difficulties again in not been able to figure out how to get my scrolled
window working when it contains widgets (in a layout) that resize
themselves and then call refit.  When they do this, the scrolled window
gets resized to be big enough to contain the widgets, and won't let the
user make it any smaller.  I'm not sure what the problem here is.  The
layout should be determining the virtualSize of the scrolled window, not
its actual size as it seems to be doing.

Is there some trick I need to know in order to get a scrolledWindow with
scrollbars? With wxhaskell 0.3 I had a trick using windowSetSizeHints to
set the size hints for the scrolledWindow to their defaults, but this
doesn't seem to work if the children of the scrolled window call refit.
:(

Totally unrelated:

It seems that wxhaskell doesn't compile with ghc 6.2 because parsec has
moved into its own package.
