Try liftM3 from Control.Monad let get = xmlGetWidget xml castToEntry liftM3 UserPanel (get "signatureEntry") (get "passwordEntry") (get "repeatEntry") Adde wrote:

Hi. I'm toying around with GTK2Hs and one of the things I'm doing is stuffing a bunch of widgets in a record. The problem is that the function that fetches a widget from the Glade file returns IO Widget while my structure contains Widget's. The best I've come up with is simply evaluating the actions by putting the result in temporaries and then building the record. Is there an easier way to accomplish this?

signatureEntry <- xmlGetWidget xml castToEntry "signatureEntry" passwordEntry <- xmlGetWidget xml castToEntry "passwordEntry" repeatEntry <- xmlGetWidget xml castToEntry "repeatEntry" return UserPanel {userPanelSignatureEntry = signatureEntry, userPanelPasswordEntry = passwordEntry, userPanelRepeatEntry = repeatEntry}

Thanks, Adde
