[wxhaskell-users] bitmapButton with windows..

[Patrick S. <mai...@st...>]

Hi,

First of all I want to thank all people who worked on the binary windows =
release of wxHaskell.
Now I can compile my programms without having trouble because I don't =
have to compile wxHaskell by myself.
Thank you for not forgetting the OpenGl thing :)))

Now one question. When I create a bitmapButton, then the button is =
resized to the size of the image. On my windows xp box this isn't the =
case. The buttons keep their small size and the image borders are cut =
away.

I tried to convert my png files for the buttons to bmp format and played =
with all kind of clientSize, outerSize..
without success. The gtk on linux don't have such problems. Is there a =
way to fix it or is there a restriction of the size of images on buttons =
on windows?
I definitely need some button thing displaying a 60x60 image and react =
on clicks...

The creation of the buttons is just simple code:

bitmapButton p=20
  [ picture :=3D ("./Pictures/stone" ++ (show i)++ ".BMP")
  , on click :=3D (\_ ->(buttSelectStone (id2Stone i) varGP) >>=20
                   updatePlayerPanel varGP statusText p >>=20
                   repaint p)
  , clientSize :=3D sz 90 90]


Cheers
Patrick

Have you tried to set the size in a later call:

 > do b <- bitmapButton p [picture := ("./Pictures/stone" ++ (show i)++ ".BMP")]
 >    set b [clientSize := sz 90 90]

It might matter since "clientSize" is one of those "initial" attributes that
are treated specially if given in the constructor.
