Re: Haskell Xlib bindings

My question is this: Why do the Haskell Xlib bindings have no way to extract the property event from an event pointer?

For example, the following functions are available:

get_KeyEvent, get_ButtonEvent, get_MotionEvent, etc.

but there's no get_PropertyEvent.

Why was this left out? It seems pretty critical to the functionality of an Xlib program to someone who's been programming in C with Xlib for quite some time.

It wasn't left out, it just wasn't put in, like a lot of other things. If you have a list of stuff you need, it can be added.
