OpenGL with wxWidgets

Ok, Brand new problem, I have OpenGL working in Haskell and compiling, and I have been working with wxWidgets to make the GUI process easier. Now I am trying to work out a way to combine the two. I haven't been able to do it successfully because they seem to create different kinds of windows, but I would like it if it would be possible to Open a frame with wxWidgets then inside the frame as one of the panels Have some OpenGL running , on which I could apply buttons from the parent frame to. I can't seem to find any easy way to do this and have been reading through the documentation for both. Any suggestions? -- Without Wax, Chris

Are you doing wxWidgets in Haskell or some other language? There is wxHaskell, a type-safe wrapper around wxWidgets, which already has at least 2 opengl examples. I tried these briefly but the builds immediately crashed on me (I never looked into it very far). Although, I have used wxHaskell without OpenGL with good success, and it is much cleaner that what I have ever seen before in GUI creation, once you get used to the style. If you there is something wrong with the GUI structure, you usually get a compile error, instead of a run-time error or crash. --- Chris Perez wrote:

I am working with wxHaskell, Yes I agree It's GUI constructin is so nice to work with, alot simpler and easier to debug than most other GUI packages I have tried, I looked at the OpenGL examples in wxHaskell but I cannot seem to get them to work with what I want to do. I get the same Kind of crashing when I run them. I will try to look into it deeper and if I find anything I will post it. On 2/22/07, Jamin A. Ohmoto-Frederick wrote:

I am not sure about the current status of wxHaskell, I think that the maintainer has changed recently, IIRC, so things may not be completely up-to-date again. As an alternative, you might try Gtk2Hs, which starting with version 0.9.11 finally officially supports an OpenGL widget, see: http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/. Cheers, S.
