I know that, but my problem is a little bit different. I don't have money for sth like Builder or Kylix or Visual but I think that my program really needs to operate on some windows. I don't want to write that using WinApi nor Gtk; First of all the Gtk/Qt licence is not good for me and WinApi is terrible. I wanted to use wxWindows. It is written in C++, that's why I still don't know what to choose. Mix wxWindows(C++) with Ada or just use C++.
