I suppose this should go into the GUI mailing list, but it is filled with
spam. So, WinRT does not depend on the .NET Framework. C++ applications can
directly compile to x86 and be able to use WinRT. Do we have a room for
Haskell development there?

There is a COM library for Haskell:
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/com
But I've never used it.
The API is encoded in a special meta-data format, which is then used
by C++, .NET and Javascript to create the language-specific APIs - it
might be possible to generate Haskell bindings to the COM components
from this metadata.

Yep, that's what I was thinking of.
I'm pretty sure the C/C++ projections rely on compiler extensions for
the MS C/C++ compiler, so I don't think we could use those directly
from Haskell.

Thanks - I did try a cabal install xxx" for the missing packages, a few seemed
to succeed, a few failed, and now I get a longer list of overall failures! :-)
...
There are problems in package scion-0.1.0.9:
dependency "AttoJson-0.5.10-4932e72997280d8c2e35b4aca3328284" doesn't exist
dependency "binary-0.5.0.2-72c84eaab351d41e936261d8d5d416f5" doesn't exist
dependency "list-tries-0.4.1-a2fcbc51b309eb5aade37b40c6ef166e" doesn't exist
There are problems in package bytestring-show-0.3.4:
dependency "binary-0.5.0.2-72c84eaab351d41e936261d8d5d416f5" doesn't exist
There are problems in package carray-0.1.5:
dependency "binary-0.5.0.2-72c84eaab351d41e936261d8d5d416f5" doesn't exist
dependency "ix-shapable-0.1.0-68747ed518a0145d47f8095a08e0bcbb" doesn't exist
...
The following packages are broken, either because they have a problem
listed above, or because they depend on a broken package.
warp-0.4.6.3
tagsoup-0.12.3
simple-sendfile-0.2.0
blaze-builder-enumerator-0.2.0.3
scion-0.1.0.10
aeson-0.3.2.11
hashable-1.1.2.1
blaze-textual-0.2.0.4
double-conversion-0.2.0.1
derive-2.5.4
hoogle-4.2.6
warp-0.4.3
wai-0.4.1
simple-sendfile-0.1.2
http-types-0.6.5.1
case-insensitive-0.3.0.1
blaze-builder-enumerator-0.2.0.2
bmp-1.1.2.1
scion-0.1.0.9
bytestring-show-0.3.4
carray-0.1.5
unordered-containers-0.1.4.2
I tried an install (reinstall?) of the things it lists as missing, and
generally they report "already installed". For example;
>cabal install AttoJson
Resolving dependencies...
No packages to be installed. All the requested packages are already installed.
If you want to reinstall anyway then use the --reinstall flag.
(same for binary, list-tries, ix-shapable, ...)
>ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.0.3
Some things do seem to resolve after a few iterations through re-installations,
but others seem stuck, and overall the process seems like a mess.

Hello!
I am writing a turtle graphics program in Haskell. Now, I am working
on the GUI (Gtk2HS). I am a newbie, I have never programmed event
driven systems.
I have a Button, and when it is clicked the code written in a a
TextView is drawn in a DrawingArea. There are some problems: when
"Expose event" happens (I dont really know, if I use the right words,
but I mean, when another window is in focus, or another window comes
before the turtle graphics window etc.) my drawing disappears (I know,
it is the normal behaviour). I would like to redraw it, but I dont
know, how.
I have a function with events...
connectGui gui =
do
onDestroy (mainWin gui) mainQuit
onClicked (btn gui) (drawProgram gui)
afterActivateLeaf (quitbtn gui) (widgetDestroy (mainWin gui))
(where gui is a record, containing all the GUI elements, such as the buttons)
...but the drawProgram function draws everything, and if I add the
"onExpose" with the same drawing function, everything is redrawn
although the Button was never clicked before.
So I would like to modify the code:
-if the button was already clicked and redraw is needed, then it
should be done
-if the button was never clicked, then there must be no redraw
Could you tell me, how can I do this?
Gabre
