Hi, this post might be helpful. http://snipplr.com/view/17538/wxhaskell-multithread--custom-event-example/ I needed something similar and came up with this. As far as I know there is now wxhaskell internal way of doing this. import Graphics.UI.WX import Graphics.UI.WXCore import Control.Concurrent eventId :: Int eventId = wxID_HIGHEST + 2 main :: IO () main = do chan <- newChan forkIO $ externalEventLoop chan start $ gui chan externalEventLoop :: Chan String -> IO () externalEventLoop chan = do writeChan chan "foobar" threadDelay $ 10 ^ 6 externalEventLoop chan gui :: Chan String -> IO () gui chan = do vCmd <- newEmptyMVar f <- frame [] st <- textCtrl f [] forkIO $ eventLoop eventId chan vCmd f evtHandlerOnMenuCommand f eventId $ takeMVar vCmd >>= \text -> appendText st $ text ++ "\n" set f [layout := fill $ minsize (Size 100 100) $ widget st] eventLoop :: Int -> Chan String -> MVar String -> Frame () -> IO () eventLoop eventId chan vCmd f = do content <- readChan chan putMVar vCmd content e <- commandEventCreate wxEVT_COMMAND_MENU_SELECTED eventId evtHandlerAddPendingEvent f e eventLoop eventId chan vCmd f Am 07.01.16 um 22:27 schrieb Puck:

Hello all,

how is it possible to process external events, for example a succeeded getLine or a takeMVar with its values in the wxHaskell framework?

The reason is, that I want to connect a erlang node to wxHaskell.

I have found the functions Graphics.UI.WX.Events.newEvent :: String -> (w -> IO a) -> (w -> a -> IO ()) -> Event w a "Create a new event from a get and set function."

Beside from, that I don't know what the get and set function shall do, I don't know, how I can add the new event to the event-loop of wx, and when it "fires".

Do you know any possibilities?

Thank you in advance _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beginners
