I disagree. If he is familiar with Win32 programming and C then
GWindows or CLAW are still far better answers. I have many x-MFCers
using GWindows now, and once the GNAVI IDE is done, I expect a whole
lot more :-)
In particular I would recommend to such a person to study the GWindows
bodies to see how to do advanced bindings to C that make full use of
Ada instead of just try and copy the C like header interfaces. In
general I have found very few times other than for copying constants
that I have ever even wanted a thin Ada binding to C as it is always
the worst way to interface to C.
So starting off with an Ada library is certainly a better way to go.
