I was happy to find that the Ada bindings are available for both Qt and Gtk= , but I was disheartened when I saw the code of the example programs. Lots = of code! Lines and lines of dense code, barely comprehensible. Honestly, I = don't know if I would be able to write a GUI by manually writing so much co= de. My question is: is there any GUI builder, either for Qt or for Qt, which wi= ll allow me to graphically design the widgets, and which will then generate= Ada code? If not, what would be the easiest way to create the Qt/Gtk interfaces I nee= d and use them in Ada? (I dread having to write everything manually!) Thanks Alby
