From: Justin Time Injection-Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2012 11:34:20 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Date: 2012-12-28T03:34:20-08:00 List-Id: My personnal experience with GtkAda to design small applications has lead me to use glade3.8. With glade, you design the user interface with a graphical tool and you get an XML file. glade is rather intuitive and you don't need much time to get used to it. After this first step, you have to code the callbacks for each signal. I think that Simple_GTK is just re-inventing the wheel, because in many cases, you will handle complex widgets like Treeviews and have to go back to plain GTKAda. The difficult point for me is to mix multi-tasking with GTK that is not thread-safe. Neither Vala not Simple_Gtk will do the job for you.
