[wxhaskell-users] really, really basic newbie question

[James M. <ji...@ya...>]

Hi y'all,

In order to better learn Haskell, I've set myself a
project that happens to include GUI work (I figure if
I can't have a GUI w/ Haskell, then it's back to C++),
so I downloaded wxHaskell, read the example, and coded
up a little window with a "File" menu.  That worked
out ok, so I added code to correctly enable & disable
menu attributes, such a disabling "Close" when there's
no opened file.  This also worked ok, but has left me
with an organizational challenge.  I have a bundle of
lines like this:

mNew      <- menuItem mFile [text := "&New"]

... which isn't a big deal, but then when I want to
code the actual event handlers, I end up with these
huge parameter lists, with each of the items in
question an individual variable.  If this were C or
C++, I'd have each of these guys as a property of a
structure or class, and then just pass around the
structure as a whole.  What's the "right" way to do
this with wxHaskell?

thanks in advance,

James
