The windows type definition comes from Adacore win32ada. In the example dir they have working sample that play with native windows, drawing etc.

Note: Anyhow, I plan on isolating only the type definitions needed to handle the window stuff and drop the rest. For me, to bring the whole win32 interface is overkill. But the needed stuff is all used aglw/main/src/win32/aglw-windows.adb
