[Haskell-cafe] wxHaskell: convenience functions

Re: [Haskell-cafe] wxHaskell: convenience functions

Actually, I can see how my requirement of not wanting to pass in cbEdit 
might not be so good. From an FP point of view, that's just asking for 
trouble. A better solution would appear to be to put the cbEdit in as a 
parameter, and just face the fact that all callers will be required to 
pass an extra parameter.

isEditing, which works out whether cbEdit is checked, or not. That way, 
one could just pass this in as a parameter without requiring any extra 
code. The problem is, I can't see how it can be done. I've tried various 
things in the main section, and nothing worked. I tried putting the 
following defintion into the where clause:

pass in cbEdit as a parameter to isEditing, but I'd rather not.
