How can I handle a ComboBox with Gtk2hs? On this page I found a solution:
store <- listStoreNew ["green", "yellow", "..."]
comboElem <- comboBoxNewWithModel store
ren <- cellRendererTextNew
cellLayoutPackEnd comboElem ren True
cellLayoutSetAttributes comboElem ren store
(\txt -> [cellText := Just txt])
However while compiling I get this error (which occurs in the last line of my code example):
Main.hs:36:17:
No instance for (System.Glib.UTFString.GlibString (Maybe [Char]))
arising from a use of ‘cellText’
In the first argument of ‘(:=)’, namely ‘cellText’
In the expression: cellText := Just txt
In the expression: [cellText := Just txt]
How can I fix the problem?
Thanks in advance
GlibString
Doesn't appear to have an instance for Maybe String
. It may have at one point, but you should be able to just use cellText := txt
instead. If for whatever reason you need to use a Maybe String
, you could implement the instance yourself.
