OpenGL with wxWidgets

[Chris Perez]

Ok,  Brand new problem, I have OpenGL working in Haskell and compiling, and I have been working with wxWidgets to make the GUI process easier. Now I am trying to work out a way to combine the two. I haven't been able to do it successfully because they seem to create different kinds of windows, but I would like it if it would be possible to Open a frame with wxWidgets then inside the frame as one of the panels Have some OpenGL running , on which I could apply buttons from the parent frame to. I can't seem to find any easy way to do this and have been reading through the documentation for both. Any suggestions?

Are you doing wxWidgets in Haskell or some other
language?  There is wxHaskell, a type-safe wrapper
around wxWidgets, which already has at least 2 opengl
examples.  I tried these briefly but the builds
immediately crashed on me (I never looked into it very
far).

Although, I have used wxHaskell without OpenGL with
good success, and it is much cleaner that what I have
ever seen before in GUI creation, once you get used to
the style.  If you there is something wrong with the
GUI structure, you usually get a compile error,
instead of a run-time error or crash.

I am working with wxHaskell, Yes I agree It's GUI constructin is so nice to work with, alot simpler and easier to debug than most other GUI packages I have tried, I looked at the OpenGL examples in wxHaskell but I cannot seem to get them to work with what I want to do. I get the same Kind of crashing when I run them. I will try to look into it deeper and if I find anything I will post it.

I am not sure about the current status of wxHaskell, I think that the
maintainer has changed recently, IIRC, so things may not be completely
up-to-date again.

As an alternative, you might try Gtk2Hs, which starting with version 0.9.11
finally officially supports an OpenGL widget, see:
http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/.

Cheers,
   S.
