RE: [wxhaskell-users] Sized buttons

Hi Huschi,

Is the button not quadratic at all? or just a little bit off?
(if so, try "clientSize" or "bestSize" instead of "outerSize")

> gui = do
>    f <- frame      [ text := "An application" ]
>    b <- button f   [ text := "Quit", on command := close f,
>      outerSize := size 200 200 ]
>    set f [ layout := widget b ]

I think that once you set the "layout", that the size of the button
is changed? Maybe you should try to say something like:

>    set f [ layout := minsize (sz 200 200) (shaped (widget b)) ]

(Or maybe set the "bestSize" on the button instead of using "minsize" ?)

You can read about layout at:

I hope this helps,
