Hey,
I am trying to understand how do a layout in wxHaskell. I am trying to
make a frame with 2 text entries. One single lined at the top and one
multiline below it. Both should expand with the window size horizontal.
When the window is expanded vertical, only the multiline text entry
should expand.
Her is what I wrote:
main = start mainFrame
mainFrame = do
f <- frame [text := "BiVision"]
buffer <- textEntry f []
mainArea <- textCtrl f []
set f [layout := expand $ column 2 [hstretch $ widget buffer,
stretch $ widget mainArea]]
This gives me a window with the desired controls. But they are not
expanding.
Why?
I tried different combinations of expand and stretch (I do not really
understand the difference?). But nothing works.
I am guessing there is something simple I do not yet understand :).
Thanks for any help!
Nathan
