Gtk2Hs/Tutorials/TreeView
From HaskellWiki
I had much trouble with creating a simple selection from a list, lacking examples on the web i could find. Therefore i post here the solution I have working - it is not optimal and I would appreciate comments. I shows a simple list with four names and after clicking on one it says which one you selected. i hope it is useful for others!
module Main where
{- an example how to select from a list
not satisfactory yet:
- there should be a simpler way to render a simple list
- i could not convert the model i got back to a list
from which to get the value
- the interface offers a great number of functions
and it is very difficult to find which ones are
really needed for simple tasks
