Re: [Haskell-cafe] StateT IO Action on `onKeyPress`

3 May 2009

      Hi Andy.

The GTK bindings use IO for their callbacks, not any custom monad like
your WindowListT.

I suggest, instead of StateT s IO a, you use ReaderT (IORef s) IO a:

putR :: s -> ReaderT (IORef s) IO ()
putR s = do
    r <- ask
    liftIO $ writeIORef r s

getR :: ReaderT (IORef s) IO s
getR = ask >>= liftIO . readIORef

Otherwise, there are techniques to use an IORef to hold onto the state
while calling into IO (which might make callbacks), and then read it
back out and put it in the state while running your action.  But it's
simpler to just switch to ReaderT

Hi all,
I have a function named `keymapTest` need moand state WindowListT, and
WindowListT is `type WindowListT = StateT WindowList IO`.
when i add "(\event -> keymapTest winList event >> return False)" after
`onKeyPress` for handle key press event, i got GHC error:
Manatee.hs:57:58:
   Couldn't match expected type `IO a'
          against inferred type `WindowListT Bool'
   In the first argument of `(>>)', namely `keymapTest winList event'
   In the expression: keymapTest winList event >> return False
   In the second argument of `onKeyPress', namely
       `(\ event -> keymapTest winList event >> return False)'
So function `onKeyPress` just accept *one* IO-action?
Have a way to fix above problem?
Any help?
Thanks!
