[wxhaskell-users] Noob problem with menus in demo

[Paul S. <pau...@mi...>]

Didn't see this on the list archive or USENET, but someone must have 
encountered it.

I'm a noob, just installed, been running the demo's. HelloWorld.hs has 
a menubar but TimeFlows.hs doesn't (not drawn at all.)

Both load w/ no errors and work correctly otherwise. I've looked thru 
the .hs's and see no reason HelloWorld would have a visible/functional 
menubar but not TimeFlows; I've done some tinkering with the code with 
no effect.

Working with XP SP1, ghc 6.4 (binary install), WxW 2.4.2(VS.NET), 
matching WxHaskell MSI install
I'll try this w/ OSX as soon as I can work out some install errors.

TIA

Paul

Out of curiosity, what happens when you minimise TimeFlows and then
restore the window?  Do you get a menubar back?

Another thing to try is to compare the wxcore samples with the wx
samples.

There seems to be a bug somewhere (in wxhaskell?) and I've found that to
deal with it,  I need to stick in a piece of code that more or less does
the same thing:

  windowHide f
  windowShow f
  windowRaise f=20

But said bug may not be relevant to your problem.

Never mind!

Not only am I a n00b, I'm an idiot. I confused TimeFlows and 
TimeFlowsEx. All working now.

Thanks for the help, nice meeting you, & I'll remember the workaround 
(still excited about this thing.)

Can you show me an example of where and why you need it? I've found  
that the order in which you specify layout, menus, size attributes  
matter (quite subtly sometimes), but I've never needed tricks like  
the above.

Cheers, Arjan

I think the ImageViewer example is a good minimal pair: it works in
samples/wxcore, but not in samples/wx

Best,
