We are playing with ideas here for a new GUI front end to an existing
Ada project. Many options.
However one that is interesting is to write the front end GUI part
using MS Visual Basic (or Visual Studio, which is VB + Visual
everything else), generate a COM interface to the GUI components and
then use GNATCOM to generate Ada 95 bindings to the COM object.
Result - Microsoft front end, existing Ada 95 back end. Looks like a PC
application, runs on a PC. If it needs to be distributed we move to
COM+ with minimal (?) change.
I note GNATCOM already has AdatoVB and VBtoAda samples.
Has anyone else done this ?.
Is it a good idea ?.
Environment would be PC / GNAT 3.13 / Ada 95 / MS Windows Nt4 or 2K /
GNATCOM 1.3p.
