Re: GUI development: Windex vs. GTK vs. Anything else

[r_srinivasan@my-deja.com]

GTK should be a strong contender. I would also consider Jgnat
seriously (Ada targeted to the JVM).

IMHO -- Win32 development is a moving target and the only viable option
if you really decide to pursue this direction will be via BINDCOM. Other
API's that I have seen are either somewhat incomplete or otherwise
fraught with pitfalls.
