Documentation

pollingLabelNew

Arguments

:: MonadIO m

=> Double

Update interval (in seconds)

-> IO Text

Command to run to get the input string

-> m Widget

Create a new widget that updates itself at regular intervals. The function

pollingLabelNew initialString cmd interval

returns a widget with initial text initialString. The widget forks a thread to update its contents every interval seconds. The command should return a string with any HTML entities escaped. This is not checked by the function, since Pango markup shouldn't be escaped. Proper input sanitization is up to the caller.

If the IO action throws an exception, it will be swallowed and the label will not update until the update interval expires.
