Hi,
I have also just started that. I have tried the
windows library with WinHugs, the wrapper librabry
SOEGraphics from the author of the School of
Expression book. These are just apart of another big
library and c++ linker, but easier. Right now I have a
hugs dotnet interpreter with a library, I think you'll
find it, it's called Hugs.net and works excellent with
the dotnet framework and delegates to a windows dotnet
function for example.
The SOE graphics is more or less for clicking with the
mouse, quite simple, but worth trying. I have also
tried a DirectX library called Fran, but the examples
had a tendency to crash. SOE is perfect and works with
unix code, almost no difference.
None of these libraries works with GHC, though. There
is a .NET version out that will compile and works with
Visual Studio IDE, but I haven't tried it. It will
compile to .NET code, at least they say so. I think
you'll find it, it's called haskell.net or something
like that.
Also, as I mentioned, the SOE and those libraries are
ripped from a C++ linker, where you can use OpenGL,
it's quite big and I haven't tried it either, since
the installation failed me, but then you'll get
absolutely everything, search for HGL I guess it's
called.
Sincerely

How can I use Haskell to do general Windows programming, like you would be able to do if you were using one of those Windows IDEs:
*moving data between windows apps *gaining access to windows registry *in general, access to the available Windows APIs
I'm sure folks must be writing Windows apps in Haskell somewhere. How do I get started?
