I'm afraid that there is some confusion here. The code generated by a
GUI code generator has nothing to do with generics, even
coincidentally. At least the code provided by GWenerator (GWindows),
doesn't use generics. If you mean rather that generated GUI code looks
like instanciated code from Ada generics, yes it looks like, but so
what ? It doesn't go beyond that. And from a pragmatical point of
view, generated code saves lots of time, so it far from being an
obstacle. You make basic, graphical things with the GUI builder, and
with the generated code you get types you can use directly or create
classes and subclasses of GUI objects with additional functionalities,
even fully new widgets. No limitation, just a net gain in time!
